What is the necessary amount of drag you should have for froggin'? I've seen some guys use reels with 11-12lbs. and I've seen some guys use reels with 15 - 20lbs. of drag. It stands to reason if you latch on to a big girl around 6 or 7lbs. and you're dragging almost that amount of slop/pads etc. with her that you'd want a higher amount of drag on your reel. What's your take?
The only stupid question is the one you don't ask!

No matter how much we know about fishing there is always more to learn!

For frogging I use a Zillion HD with the drag locked down and 60lb braid. Get them to the top fast and ski them to open water or the boat.
