This is a new series I am starting called the setup. I am going to give y’all the nitty gritty on our setups, and I might even drop y’all some nuggets along the way!

I just can't see the need for a super high speed retrieve, myself. As far as I'm concerned, anything over 6:1 is overkill. I find it easier to reel faster with a slower retrieve than it is to slow down with a fast retrieve. I guess I'm old school, but that's the way I feel about gear ratios.
Punching setup. You used to used the Kistler 7'11" out here on the Delta what do you use now ?
Mark…..I'd love to see the set-ups you'd use in Florida (minus frog and punching set-ups)…..I just moved to FL from up North, and it's so confusing down here to know when to use braid and when not to and when to use what action rods…..thanks again
jerk bait setup im a short guy as well it's good to know not everyone uses 8ft rods for 🐸
Dobnys 736 all the way , if you haven’t had a flying fish yet you will with that rod for frogs .
Great stuff bro!! what frog do u use? want to see ur chatter bait setup.
Great idea for this series. Love the content! Keep teaching,we’re listening!
I was just wondering what your set up was yesterday when you an Wheeler went fun fishing in your boat.
Great vlog brother 👍
Awsome!
I been throwing fluro, thinking bout changing to braid.
And for sum reason, I find myself bending out the hooks, stock hooks seem to always be bent in to much.
Next rig setup, (DROP-SHOT)………
there's a certian way to get that hook tied on that keeps it away from the main line and to stay up-rite in certian position.
All of which I forgot.
Do a setup based on the season. Also explain water clarity compare vs cloudy days. The season would help I think as the yr goes on. Good video man. Had fun with frogs this weekend in Kansas with farm pond fish for bass. They were knocking the hell out of it!!
What is a good knot to use with braid when frog fishing?
please break down spinner bait
This is going to be the best series. This was brilliant
Deep cranking for deep structure rod like football head jig or etc
Keep this going
Please sir
I heard not to spend high dollar on topwater bc you see the bite. Don’t need sensitivity. Sounds like MDJ does that too
👁️🪶👁️
Jig setup or crank bait setup! Great vid MDJ!
Much respect Mark. Everything coming straight from the heart to help anglers get to work lol. This catch is for you bro. https://youtube.com/shorts/0-lpImQwSHI?feature=share 🤝
I use a 7'4" Heavy Favorite Balance rod. Its also a modfast tip. Works great. I am a little quick on the pull so the modfast helps the fish get it a little better before i give it the hammer.
I’m a bigger dude at 6’2 and I love 7’2 rod don’t understand the people that frog with 7’6” plus rods
good vid glad to know about the rod price and brand show me MORE
Mark, great video. I use the same set up. Your fan Roger.
I'd like to see your Deep crankn setup
I want to see your PUNCH setup next! Punching is some close quarter combat fun
If you don't like them frog blowups you need to seek some help. LOL Love it. Thanks for the info bro.
Drop shot covering water.
Thanks MDJ! Excited for the series!
This is awesome Mark can't wait to see how you work the frog. Would like to see your setup on the chatter bait. 🎣🦃🦌🦆
Punching
Awesome video Mark! I'd love to see a jig set up tutorial. I fish a jig alot and catch alot of bass on it but love to dail it in better. Thank you so much bro
Caught a 6 ft gator on a frog last week. My setup 7'3" MH rod with quantum Smoke 7.5/1 ratio reel and 65 lbs Sufix promix braid
Good job Mark!
