So you use different length rods depending on what frog you are throwing? Can you explain with details? All the hollow bodied frogs I throw are very similar in size and weight as are the solid bodied frogs with the kicker legs.

The crank baits that I throw vary in size quite a bit from a 1.5 square bill to a 10XD. The rod I use for the 1.5 would never be able to handle a 10XD.

I didn't realize it varies that much throwing a top water frog.


Are you going to explain what rod you need depending on what frog you are throwing like you said in your response?

Who makes that rod?


I will do it for $500. If you pay in cash, it's only $499.


Have you started on the rod yet?

for me it depends on the cover and the type of casts needed for it. ie, 7ft pitchin tight cover vs 8 ft working expansive grass mats.
