![His trolling motor of choice is a Motorguide 109. Rojas uses its for all the basic trolling purposes - and during the 1015 Bassmaster Elite Series event on Lake Guntersville, he used the motor to clear pollen from the water's surface so he could see spawning fish along the shoreline.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/j5c7190_1000x667.jpg)

![Rojas is one of the top frog fishermen on the planet. So it should come as no surprise that his two favorite setups are frogging rods - a 7-foot, medium-heavy and a 7-foot, 4-inch heavy. Both rods are from the Terex line by Duckett Fishing.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/j5c7199_1000x667.jpg)
