A 7’ rod in medium heavy action with 30-50 lb braid and a spro popping frog is the easiest for me to walk. I don’t use this setup in slop but more moderate cover. It’s just a little more weed less than a spook or pop r. Think scattered bank grass. The action is a little slack in the line and a sharp jerk down with the rod. It really skips well btw.
In the slop use more beefy gear and don’t worry about walking it. That’s something more of a pull and shake. Completely different cover and time of year for me.
