Flippin/frog Rod

[Colson_G]

I'm in the market for a new rod and would like to get a nice rod I can double as a rod for frogs and flippin into bulrush, or grass (typically not larger than 1 oz). Anyone have any suggestions for me? I was thinking about the Veritas 2.0 but don't know whether to go with 7'6 or 7 foot. I also was looking at the Daiwa Procyon, but I would appreciate any suggestions.

Oh I forgot to write I'm not looking at over a 100$ rod

well for me i like a 7ft because I'm a bank fisherman but the falcon bucoo rod they have a 7ft heavy and my dad has a denali jadewood j2 7ft mh for jigs but i think they have a 7ft H too

 

and both are about $100

I would go with a veritas 2.0

I've got a Falcon Bucoo Micro Pitchin Stick. (6'10" H Fast) Love it for frogs.

i flip with a 7'3" H duckett and i love it. i also have a veritas2.0 7'3" MH, good rod but the MH is not for frogs.

7'mh lightning rod shock IMHO is about the best frog rod you can buy for less than $100, and it makes a fine flipping and pitching rod too. I fish them with bottom contact baits right along side my slightly more expensive Vendettas and Veritas's and notice no lack of "feel" even though they are a "cheaper" rod. In fact, the more I use them, the more I like them. They beat the other rods I mentioned in price, plus are more comfortable for me to fish with, as I like the reel seats and smaller plastic but better than what Abu uses.

Went ahead and went with the Veritas 7' Heavy. I'm a kayak fisherman and so I prefer not to have too long of rods and so I thought 7' would be the best option for me. I have abu volatile for topwaters at the coast and I really like the feel of it, so I think I'll like the grip of the veritas as well. I'm fairly certain it'll make a good flippin rod and I'll see how it does with frogs. I was thinking about a Berkley lightning shock, but Tackle Warehouse didn't have any available until August, and I also thought about a Duckett Ghost, but they don't really put many specifications on their rods at least on TW, so I went with the Veritas. Gonna pair it with a Lews LFS in 7.5:1 with 50 pound braid (anyone care to put up a convincing argument for 65??). Also picked up an Orra winch to pair with a Lew's perfect crankbait rod, never used a Lew's rod but I'll see how it goes. TW, has 15% off on most items currently and 5$ 2 day shipping on everything, so you get a nice deal.

     Veritas 2.0 all the way, how long you want it( ) depends on weather your fishing from shore,boat kayak ect.

I use a 7' 3" H/F H2O Ethos rod for a dual purpose frog/flipping rod.
