Fattygreens Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 So I have been bit by the technique specific bug and am now to the froggin set up. Just wanting to get some opinions on what people like for frogs. Been really eyeballing the powell frog rod at TW. Maybe some folks who have owned one can chime is as well. Going to pair this up with a quantum energy 7:1:1 I bought off fleabay thats going to DVT for a once over. Quote
tbone1993 Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 You do not need that heavy of a frogging rod unless you are in some crazy thick stuff. I like using a dobyns 735c because it has the length but also the extra fast tip that is good for frogs. Trust me if you get that rod you will fall in love with it and never look back. Quote
Fattygreens Posted January 20, 2013 Author Posted January 20, 2013 I was wondering about that power for frogs. I don't have a whole lot of areas where the vegitation is extreme, mostly moderate at it's worst. Quote
flippin and pitchin Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 I agree with tbone1993. The nice thing about a frog rod is you don't have to go with a high sensitivity blank, just power and tip so I went with the Savvy. Quote

JunkYard814 Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 I bought a MH/XF Powell Diesel. I haven't fished it yet, but I do like the feel so far. I don't own any rods over MH Quote
Super User MarkH024 Posted January 20, 2013 Super User Posted January 20, 2013 I use a Mojo 7' MH/F and fish very thick super dense slop. It works perfectly and casts great. Quote
Hanover_Yakker Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 I have used a variety of rods in the past.... First frog rod was a Shimano Voltaeus 7'0" MH/XF casting rod ($39 from BPS). Second frog rod was a St. Croix Mojo Bass Spinnerbait model 7'0" MH/F casting rod ($80 from DSG). Third frog rod I still have and use in a pinch....a Shimano Clarus Worm-n-Jig model 7'2" MH/XF casting rod ($79 from BPS). My new rod I'm trying out is a 6'6" Daiwa Procyon in MH/XF (on clearance from GTSG for $44) If you are diligent enough, you can find a good rod in a price range that you can both afford and will be pleased with in the long run without having to break the bank or your wallet.

Super User aavery2 Posted January 21, 2013 Super User Posted January 21, 2013 I fish the Falcon Cara Jason Christie Frog Rod, 6'11'' H F, works very well for me. Quote
basser89 Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 I bought a MH/XF Powell Diesel. I haven't fished it yet, but I do like the feel so far. I don't own any rods over MH I bought a Powell Diesel (7'2" MH/XF) last year for my froggin rod. Absolutely LOVE it! Great rod for the money IMO! Quote
War Eagle 44 Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 I use a Powell 735C. It's a fantastic frog rod, I use it for plenty of other techniques as well, but it's main duty is froggin! I fish everything from Gambler Cane Toads to Spro Bronze Eye's, and it just gets the job done. In fact I've been so happy with it that I bought 4 more Powell rods to go with it. It was my first Powell and now they've become the rods I fish with the most. Quote
bassinbrian Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 I may be the minority here but 7'-7'6 H fast action rod is the perfect frogging setup. Here in MN, you can't leave home without one Quote
