Frog Rod Setup

[Rich.]

I'm looking to purchase a setup to use for hollow body frogs. I am interested in the Lew's Super Duty reel but need a rod to pair this with, any recommendations?

 

Also, any idea when the next time most retailers will offers sales/discounts like seen on Memorial Day?

My personal frog rod is a Powell Endurance 714 CEF. Its 7'1" Heavy entra fast action. It has the slightest bit of play in the tip, perfect for frogging. Its also very sensitive (not that that really matters) and is super lightweight (which REALLY matters). They retail for $170, but The Fish Ranger has them for $109, free shipping right now!!!!!!

I use a MH/F Veritas w/ 50# braid but I really don't throw frogs much. Megastink mentioned the Powell Endurance, which I have 2 of. Thats one of my favorite rods and at 109 thats an awesome deal.

4th of July will be your best bet for a sale. About the frogging rod cant help sorry.

Crucial med/hvy worm/jig rod, x-fast taper. Quantum code 7:4 (i believe) reel. jump between 50lb braid spider braid and 20 lb vanish fluro. Works fine. Probably need to use a beefier rod than I am to help with setting hooks in slop.

I use a 7-3 heavy fast rod with 65# braid. Im 6-1 if I was any shorter I would want a 7' rod.

I own a few frog rods, the one I am currently using is a Jason Christie signature series Falcon Cara frog rod.  It is a 6'11" H/F. I use a gen2 STX 6.4:1 I have  it spooled with 60lb. Sunline FX2.

 

This combo meets my needs well.

The best frog rod IMO is a heavy power with a fast and relatively soft tip. You want the backbone without sacrifcing casting distance. Match it to a sturdy reel with heavy braid as suggested.

[Craiger12]

x3 on the Dobyns 735C. I have the Champion because I prefer the full handle, but I have heard good things about the Savvy as well.

I use a Powell Max 735C with 50# PPS8S.

MH/Extra fast H2O Xpress Ethos 30lb Spider Wire Stealth

[Bass Junkie]

Duckett Micro Magic 7' XH. It has a semi-parabolic bend throughout the blank, allowing you to really load up and chuck frogs, as well as skip a lot easier. But it also has all the necessary muscle to set the hook plus some. And it is certainly strong enough to pull fish out of the mats. It's also a versatile rod. I've thrown as low as a 1/4oz jig with trailer, and while It wasn't ideal, I got respectable distance. It makes a very nice topwater spook/frog/wakebait rod when spooled up with braid.

yea, since like 3 days ago LOL :-P

 

i'm on MH/F 6'8" Compre right now with 6.x:1 Curado, but looking to up the reel speed and maybe get a heavy rod that's a bit longer. 50# braid is a must.
