Give Anglers Express a call and see if they have the Irod IRG745F and the Dobyns Fury FR735V in stock.  Go put those two rods in your hand.  They may even have the Powell MAx3D 736 CEF frog rod in stock. It is worth the trip if they do.  Also if you travel to the store let me know I might be able to meet you and say hello.

 

I have a dentist appointment up that way week can after next, so I might take you up on it!

Give me an email at fishnkamp@comcast.net.  That is my personal email. I will give you my cell number.  We can work it out.

I use a 7' 3" H/F Ethos Micro and it's been a great frog rod. It loads nicely to launch them out there, but has plenty of backbone to get the fish back out of the grass. 

Just bought a 7' medium heavy fast action rod. Would that be ideal for frogs? (sorry for replying on a year old forum...)

Really depends on the rod, I've had 7' MH/F rods that were excellent for frogging, and I've had other 7' MH/F rods that were just too soft to reliably frog with.

It will depend on the rod but I used a 7' MH/F for a frog rod for a lot of years and still do from my kayak.

Ideal:no, functional:yes. Will also depend on where your throwing your frog. In thinner cover where you would 'walk'it the mh  would probably be better but in heavier cover where you need to haul a fish back through a heavy rod would be best.
