The frog rod is going to be a 7'3"-7'6" HF or HXF rod in most cases.So your versatility depends on the lure rating of the rod you choose.If you're looking at a rod with a 1/2-2oz rating your looking at heavier frogs/pitching/flipping/small swimbaits.If your looking at one 1/4-1 1/2 oz then you get frogs/flipping/pitching but you can throw lighter frogs rather than lighter swimbaits.
I wish i could get my hands on the Ikos to play with it.Ive almost ordered that rod a few times.I like the 7'3" Hammer.The Curado 70 is butter smooth and you'll love it.Shallow spool great for pitching/flipping.
A twin tail grub attachment! Just what i always wanted! hahaha
Are those clear things crank lips?? I can tie one on faster than i can put that thing together.
I'd be throwing soft plastics and light topwater with it.
As far as compatibility,do you mean weight wise? Stay in the 1/4 to 3/4 range and you should be all good.Go to Wal-Mart and buy a cheap food scale to weigh your baits if you need to figure that out.
I used to press the thumb bar and turn the handle with my thumb on the spool on my silver max to get birds nests out.Never ruined anything.If its slight,and it sounds like its a new reel,are you sure it wasn't doing it before and your just noticing it now?
