Ryanrich11 Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 I've narrowed it down to the rod I want but what specs should I choose for frogging? It's either going to be a 7'3" med-heavy, heavy, or mag heavy. Thanks Quote
Super User fishnkamp Posted August 10, 2016 Super User Posted August 10, 2016 What rod? Each manufacture is different. Quote

Super User fishnkamp Posted August 10, 2016 Super User Posted August 10, 2016 No question to me FR 735C Mag heavy for sure. The other rods will work okay for Horny toads in more open water situation. Do not get me wrong, I love the other rods, but not for heavy cover frogging. If I want a frog flippin pitchin machine I go heavier. when I think of the 734 I think of single hook reaction strike baits more like spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, senkos, spinnerbaits. When i think of throwing hollow bodied frogs over top a lilypad field, hydrilla and other grass mats then i loo more towards a meat stick with enough tip. Personally I use a 7 foot bu Garcia original series Veritas in a MED HVY. All Veritas run on the heavy side of their rating so it more like a HVY with a quick tip. Another nice thing about the 735C is it can double for a carolina rig or a rod to throw big jigs deep. 1 Quote
Robert Riley Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 Just a heads up, the action on the FR735 is a bit slower than that of the Savvy 735 or the Sierra 735. If you want the extra-fast tip, move up. Quote
