St. Croix Mojo Bass Slop-N-Frog

[MichiganFishing1997]

Is this rod long enough for frogging?

[tstone]

I have one and I don't like it. It doesn't load up well so it doesn't cast well. Plenty of power to pull them out of the slop though. I like a 7'6" better for a frog rod anyway.

[MichiganFishing1997]

thanks! what rod would you use then??

[ww2farmer]

I had the 7' Premier Heavy Power/Fast action rod, which basicly is the same as the Mojo, and I didn't like it either. Poor frog rod for the reasons tstone mentioned. A MH/Fast St Croix makes a much better frog rod, and they have plenty of power to get big fish out of heavy matted grass. I use my 7' MH/Fast Avid or Legend tournament and they perform just fine. I like a 7' rod for frogging, I can cast as far as I need to with that length, plus it's easier to walk a frog with that length then a longer rod...for me.

I have the slop-n-frog rod too and it does not make a good frog rod. I didn't buy it for frogs though and it does throw mid sized swimbaits pretty well along with the A-rig.

shimano compre 7'2 H love it

[MichiganFishing1997]

I just got a shimano clarus and love it, il have to check that out, and you use it for frogging??

The new Legend Slop N Frog is plenty long at 7'4 and although I have not fished one yet I have heard they got the tip action right on it this time. I know not much help since i don't have one yet, but worth checking into.

[MichiganFishing1997]

Thats just a tad bit out of the price range lol thanks though.

[TourPT]

LOL sorry I missed the Mojo Part. In that price range, or close to it anyways, the Lamiglas Excel Frog rod is pretty good.

[MichiganFishing1997]

Thanks a lot!

I have the mojo slop n frog rod is a good light rod and was suprised because it a heavy rod . I have had good suggest using it as a hollow belly frog . I have caught a lot of bass with this rod combo . I have a pflueger summit casting reel ( 7.1:1 ) wide spool with 50lb spiderwire stealth braid . I works good so don't be afraid to try it , I even emailed st. Croix about the rod and they said it good for frog fishing bass in heavy cover . Also it good for the money with a 5 years warranty on it back . I have 2 spinning truimph rods and 3 baitcasting mojo rods and never had a problem with them so I recommand this rod for frog fishing .

[tstone]

I wouldn't say the Mojo slop and frog is light at all, and if it is, it does a good job at hiding it. It feels heavier than my 7'11" Veritas flippin stick. The only thing I have found the rod ok for is 3/4 oz hollow body frogs, and even then it doesn't load up that well for a good cast. I have caught alot of fish on it, and it's great at getting them out of the nasty stuff, but I don't like it because it casts horrible. I'm using a Chronarch 200E7 with 65lb Power Pro on mine.

thanks for the info!

tstone , I had my buddy try my slop n frog rod out and he said the same thing it feels light is doesn't feel like a heavy rod at all , I have handle a heavy rod before and it feels light to me but i guess it by opinion against yours . MichiganFishing1997 just go on buy whatever rod you want just make sure it a heavy action rod if you look at Tackle warehouse on the tab Technique Specific Page go to frog and if wil give you a better idea on the frog rod . With the reel and line and rod I cast fine with it . I have never had a problem with it at all.

whats your price range? i use an irod freds magic stick for frogs and its pretty awesome man. irod just revamped the genesis series and made them lighter and nicer lookin. great rods for 150. a bps rod is just as good if not better than a lot of rods on the market from what i hear. its frog season here in ca and im gettin a bps carbonlite this weekend. ill let u know how it does for froggin when i get out on the water again.

[MichiganFishing1997]

yeah my price range is around 110. I am considering getting the carbonlite, a lamiglas excel, or a powell diesel right now.

[tstone]

I have been looking at the powell diesel, debating on getting it to replace my mojo bass.

[TheBassfish3r]

I use a 7'6" Heavy Fast action rod for my Hollow body frogs. With this rod, I would use it for burning soft plastic frogs across the water. That's what I do a lot of the time.

[lmbfisherman]

shimano compre 7'2 H love it

Use that same rod as my main Frog rod and agree it is great!

yeah my price range is around 110. I am considering getting the carbonlite, a lamiglas excel, or a powell diesel right now.

The Powell 725 is a beast of a rod. It loads up well with light hollow body frogs and is a ridiculously strong rod. Reg price 170, the fish ranger has them for 110. IN LOVE WITH THIS ROD. MAKES A GOOD FLIPPIN OR JIG ROD TOO!

The mojo rod will prob be fine too. I like rod between 7-7'3 for froggin because its hard for me to roll cast and skip with a roll cast with a longer rod...
