I had a TFO heavy rod I used for t-rig. If fishing more open water shoreline stuff with a frog it would work. In my opinion, I wouldn't use it in heavy cover thick grass. It has a softer tip, and decent backbone, I prefer something a little heavier to get them out of thick mats. Coach

I have that rod. Don't use it much. Your welcome to try it out. It is a heavy action in my opinion.

I do a lot of frog fishing. I tried one of the TFO Heavy 7"3 rods a few years ago. You can launch a frog with the 7"3.
I feel it has the perfect tip action so you can walk the frog.
It has a lot of backbone to get them out of the thick stuff.
It is also a light rod that will not wear you out.
I fell in love with it. Now I have two of them.
I was going to cut it down to 7" to make it stiffer.
I am glad I didn't.Try it you will like it.

Yes.... That's my frog rod and it works great. It's somewhere between a heavy and medium / heavy so you can really launch that frog but still get them out of the thick stuff with some heavy braid on. Worked wonderfully last weekend.

I use this same TFO Hvy 7'3" for frog fishing on Caddo where there is plenty of thick slop and it works well for me. I pair it with 7.1 gear reel and 50 lb braid. I really like all the TFO rods but I haven't used a bunch of others to compare to.

For a frog in thick cover go with the TFO GTS P797. If you want one let me know. I can get you a good price.

The GTS BBC7116-1 7'11" MagH is an excellent frog rod, also the GTSP797-1 7'9" XH is excellent as well for frog fishing and punching/heavy cover.

There you go. I throw my frogs on a Falcon Cara Mike McClelland heavy cover jig rod. Not sure it's the perfect rod either but I liked it better than the TFO. Coach

Most of my rods are TFO rods. There performance is great and as of right now, I don't plan on purchasing any other brand of rod. I have two 7'6" TFO Heavy Action Rods (One for frog, the other for Pitching). I can launch a frog and place em accurately with the TFO. The backbone is strong and can pull a bass out of thick cover.... and with the tip, no problem walking the frog. I've never had an issue pulling bass out of thick cover or taking the frog for a walk. I have several other TFO rods for wormin, crankin, etc. I also have a few TFO Spinning rods for the finesse side. I have other brands of rods rigged up also, but I prefer the TFO's over the others. I'm sure you already know, but they will replace your rod if it breaks, no matter if you broke it or not. I'm only a little over an hour away from their warehouse and I've made the trip a few times to get a rod I've broke replaced. (my fault, not paying attention) I highly recommend TFO, but everyone has their opinion based on performance and comfort. Good luck!
