I fish with this rod and have it paired with a Curado K. I feel like 3/8 to 1/2 oz jigs plus trailer is the sweet spot. A!so fishes 1/2 oz spinnerbaits and bladed jigs.action is a little fast for the bladed Baits, but works. Great for buzzbaits. Personally I think it has to much power for light stuff. As far as power goes I caught a 13 1/2 pound channel catfish on it in the heavy grass with a bladed jig and it was at its max. Its very balanced, casts easily and acuratly, and has decent sensitivity... I've bought and sold several high end rods, but this one is staying in my rod locker. I would say it falls right between the glx 803c and glx804c in action and backbone..
It will fish a medium or small frog in open water very well
Just make sure to tighten your drag down to set those hooks
