Mitchell Kelley Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 I am looking to get into frog fishing. I know what i need but just cant find the right rod yet. I was looking at the Abu Garcia Veritas 2.0 frog rod for 99$ but ive heard they snap easy. I just want some advice from anyone who has this rod. That would be nice. Quote
Diggy Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 I have 11 of the first gens, other than a guide that broke which abu replaced with 2 new rods, no breaks. You can also look at these, I hear the frogging rod is great.

Super User Choporoz Posted May 20, 2015 Super User Posted May 20, 2015 I have Veritas 2.0 7' MHF and love it. I've had some pretty hard jig hook sets close in on heavy fish and never once worried about breaking it. In fact I don't think I've heard that is a problem Quote
Robert Riley Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 I haven't had mine for long, but it hasn't given me trouble. I think that'd be a good rod for frogs. Quote
kikstand454 Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 I have a 7'11 veritas flipping stick that I punch mats with. So. ...yeah. Quote
sprint61 Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 The first models broke not a problem no more I love my Vertias's. Quote
bassinn Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Have two veritas rods and haven't had any issues. All rods break every so often. I've seen my friends $$$ dobyns break in front of me on a hookset. Quote
TorqueConverter Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 I don't like any of my MH Veritas rods for frogging. They're 7' broom handles that do not want to load up properly to launch a frog, are too stiff to get the bait to break into a wide glide and suffer from poor hook up ratios witch I assume stem from them being broom handles. Maybe the 7'6'' rods have some tip but the 7' rods are too much of a broom handle for frogging IMO. Quote
