I was given a 7'6" heavy/extra fast action carbolite as a gift. What would be the best use for this rod?

agree with Bill, would also drag a C-rig or a football jig with it.

Put braid on it and u can throw frogs, flip, c-rigs and texas rigs. Even the A-rig i would use 50lb power pro

A-RIG is about 2oz.. Seems appropiate for HEAVY/EXTRA FAST

agreed. My personal preference for frogs is a bit shorter rod, 7' H for example.. so I can walk em, pop em etc without dippin the tip in the drink. But your rod is certainly capable of froggin duty!
