RayburnGuy Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Hey guys, Can you recommend a decent frog rod that won't break the bank? I've tried ordering a couple on the web and have so far ended up with rods that are more suitable for worming than frogging. Looking for something with plenty of backbone, but with a soft enough tip to allow for good casting accuracy. thanks, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNC Molds N Stuff Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Depends on how you fish a frog. I fish a lot of heavy cover with a frog so I use an MH Fast 7'6" flipping stick. Shimano Sellus and Bass Pro Shops GS are both under $60. I've also fished 7'11" Xtra heavy Xtra fast before too. Pretty impressive when you drag a 7 pounder over and thru cattails and pencil tulies. Buzz frogs go on an MH moderate 7' rod. The Sellus 7' MH fast is not as fast as some others so it does pretty good. Again under $60. If you have the cash it's pretty hard to beat St Croix accuracy in labeling, but @ a couple hundred bucks each I can't afford to many of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted June 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Thanks Bob. I'll check out the rods you suggested. Ben 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 I bought one of these, online, for $80. It has a good backbone, but a softer tip, and throws hollow body frogs really well. http://www.americanlegacyfishing.com/garcia-veritas-20-frog-rod-med-heavy-7-6-casting-rod-vrtcf76-6.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archery1 Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 The veritas 2.0 is a good rod for the $$ not a fan of the older ones but the 2.0 is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted June 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Thanks Archery1. That's the same rod Mark was suggesting. Will have to take another look at it. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
