bassboy107 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Posted July 9, 2012 Or 7' MH Jupiter from Walmart ($70), Or used Daiwa Light and Tough. Or used Fenwick Techna AV. Thanks alot. I was already looking at the Jupiter, but i wasn't really sure if it was any good or not. Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted July 9, 2012 Super User Posted July 9, 2012 Thanks alot. I was already looking at the Jupiter, but i wasn't really sure if it was any good or not. If you're thinking about the Jupiter go with the T series instead. I just bought one (7' MH/XF) and it has a better blank, and a 5 year warranty as apposed to the 1 of the Jupiter. I think its only like 5$ more. Plus I like the full ACS reel seat better. Quote
Michael DiNardo Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Whatever rod, get a medium-heavy fast action 7' or 7'6". I do like the Veritas or the Field and Stream Tech Spec Elite from DSG. Mike Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted July 9, 2012 Super User Posted July 9, 2012 fenwick elite tech smally rod or veritas I've got 2 of the Fenwick rods. Both bought for about $81. It is getting harder to find them marked down that low any more. Seems smalljaw has been too vocal in recommending them! I think the Tec Spec Elite in MH is a 6'10" rod. Nice looking rod, but I haven't got one. Do have the standard Tec Spec, but it is a Medium. Definitely not suitable for frogs. I have the 7' MH Jupiter rod. Got to use it one day before leaving Florida. Rod stayed there for further visits. I liked it, but must admit that I like the looks of the T-series better. The extended warranty wouldn't be a deal breaker for me if I liked the Jupiter better. Guess I'll have to find out. Quote
NitroZ9 Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 You need to look at the Denali Jadewood series. The 7 ft. MH Worm/Jig rod for $99 would probably work for you. This series is a very big seller for Denali and I honestly don't think you'll find a nicer rod in that price range. They look and fish like much more expensive rods. Quote
bassin is addicting Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 i think a Veritas would be a good choice a the $100 price. Quote
traindog71 Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 St Croix Mojo Bass is a nice rod in that price range, I have a 7' Medium/Curado setup I love, but if you are throwing frogs in heavy vegetation I would suggest a MH to wrestle the bass through the thick stuff. I've got a 7'3" St Croix Rage in MH I use for frogs and thick veg, but it is around $150 I think. Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted July 9, 2012 Global Moderator Posted July 9, 2012 Or 7' MH Jupiter from Walmart ($70), Or used Daiwa Light and Tough. Or used Fenwick Techna AV. If you can find a Fenwick Techna AV, open your wallet and give them whatever they want, and walk out the door! There is a discount tackle shop down here that had a few. I bought a 7' mh/f that is now my favorite plastic rod. Mike Quote
jerzeeD Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 6'6"-7" MH/F St Croix Premier works well for this Quote
KingMidas Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Veritas or Vendetta by Abu. x2..... the St. Croix Premier is nice if you want a full cork handle. Quote
DILLY07 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 I've heard Veritas rod is really good for the price or Mojo Bass from St.Croix. But if I were you, Id go for the Veritas Quote

Plastics is what I mainly have it set up for, but definitely not afraid to throw a frog on this rod. Lots of power. I wouldn't mind having a 7' Medium. Quote
wisconsin heat Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 6'6" MH rod. If your fishing from shore, nothing is better, but if you're on a boat, you may want to up the length to 7' Quote
