Frog rod advice (help)

Hey guys,

I'm in the market for a new frog rod but I'm having a hard time deciding, I know I want a 7'- 7'3" heavy rod. I have been a big fan of the G-Loomis E6X rods and was thinking about getting their mag bass in a heavy action, then again there are a lot of different rods to choose from.

Any advice would be appreciated

Man its a frog rod you can see the action you don't need a high dollar rod for this just the right action, we use h2o rods for top waters baits great price on a decent rod.

My next frog rod will be a mega bass tour versatile. I like the smaller guides and that rod seems to be just about the perfect power for what I want out of a frog rod.

Use what bobby barrack uses

and if you are on a budget like me,use what dean rojas uses.

And if you're on a budget like me get used Falcons off the Tff

Ugly stick

Just make sure you check what kind of guides they use. Or the fish of a life time may just get away.

I prefer a Loomis IMX MBR844.

i didnt think you had time to fish anymore since you started pimpin dat h20!

Best value I have found is the iRod IRG754F "Fred's Magic Stick". It's the most versatile rod I own.

I really like the Dobyns Savvy Series 735 for frogs - great value, well made and plenty or power to fight a fish out of heavy cover. I have two and love them.

I use a Falcon Lowrider 7'6" heavy action with a fast tip, $150.00,and as good a rod as you will find. Oh,and made in America

I fish every chance I get buddy! Heading to Athens on the 1st to test out my falcon cara frog Rod with some new hollow bodies I just got!

844 MBR is great for hollow bodied frogs and can pull double duty on a lot of other stuff

Cant wait Ban-d, ready to try out that power tackle pg 104.5

The "best"?

Get a Daiwa SVF-XBD 7'4" X Heavy Steez. It's very light. VERY strong. Has double footed titanium SiC guides made for braid. Is rated for 55-80 lb braid.

I know there are other technique specific frog rods, but this is the only one I've seen that is designed specifically for braid and frog walkin.

It depends on what you are fishing as far as cover. You could have up to 3 technique specific frog rods. If you are just wanting a general frog rod id go with something in the 7'3 range. For what you pay id get one custom built on a high quality blank. That way i get to decide the set up on guides handle etc.

After to talking to a lot of guys I'm thinking about going with a Dobyns Champion 735

Your the the first one to bring up the Inferno rod, do you have any experience with it? Seems to be a popular frog rod at APT

APT has some really nice Halo rods that would work well too. I was impressed with them.

I bought a 7' 11" MH rod for A rigs and it doubles as my froggin rod.

Not a big frog fishing guy so I'm not going to crazy on MY rod. But I did just get one and I'll try it tomorrow. Cabela's ZX rods are on sale for $69.99 now down from $99.99. I bought the 7'3" frog rod. Like I say not much frog fishing in my lake and I think the rod will make a good lite A-rig rod,if I ever choose to use one. But it will definitely get a work out on the Lunker Plunker this year. If you frog fish a ton get the best you can afford. The 735C is a great rod and also works great as deep water worm or jig rod. I have 4 Megabass XX rods and they are sick sticks
