Hey guys, I've been throwing frogs for awhile, but recent trips to Fork and catching bass out there on frogs is entirely different experience for me. I want a new set up, I've been using Ducket Micro Magics - Heavy action, they are nice rods and do the job but I am looking at the Dobyns Savvy Micro Guided rods - the Heaviest one - I don't really want one longer than 7'3" or 7'6" -
Now thinking of reels, here is my issue. I have a few REVO SX's and I love them, the problem is that they don't have enough line capacity in my opinion, so I find myself putting on Chronarch's and Curado's because they hold more line.

Is there are preferred reel that can handle 50# or 65# braid, that has good line capacity and is a smooth, long casting reel? I'm just looking at options, the Revo Rocket looks awesome, but it is a little high for me, and I think the line capacity would be similar to the SX's. But I may be wrong.

I use the Daiwa Tatula 7.3 speed reel. It handles Fork frog fish very well.

Curado/chronarch 200e7 beast of a reel. I would look for a reel with brass gears. They are stronger than aluminum or other materials used

I've got two reel that I absolutely love with braid. One is a skeet Reese victory. 6.0:1 and the other is a h2o mettle also around 6.3:1. I throw buzzbaits and ribbits on those mostly
