short frogging rods

[Jamers]

First of all I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this, it looked like the right place to me.

So I am 14 and I'm quite short I love fishing and ive started getting into frogging but all of my rods that I have they are frogging rods so they are heavy but they are also 6-7' being 4'7" I cant effectively work the frog with this long of a rod, does anyone know of any 4 or 5' heavy fast action frogging rods that are under 50$?

I think you'll be hard pressed to find a modern bass rod under 6 foot.

To find a rod like that you will have to have it custom made, no company's make a production rod like that I'm sure.

 

But here is the thing, your young and still growing, paying up big cash for a custom length rod now will be lost money in two years when your much taller. And can work a longer rod better.

 

I frog fish a ton and my rods are 7'3, 7'6 and 8' long heavy and extra heavy with fast tip, but I'm having a custom 6 foot extra heavy extra fast tip built so I can throw my frogs up under trees with more accuracy.

 

You may get lucky and find a 6 foot heavy you can use for frogs but you have to remember the shorter the rod the less advantage you have to rip and pull a fish from cover.

 

Hope all this helps and good luck tight lines.

Being a custom rod builder, I look at things a bit different, you might fix an existing rod to get the job done. What is exacting wrong with the 6 ft. rod? Handle length wrong, to heavy, to stiff?

A 4 ft. rod would be awfully short with an 8 in. grip and 4 in. reel seat. No matter your height your have to have enough rear grip to anchor the rod well to your fore arm, heavy cover and just wrist power won't cut it long.

You don't need a Heavy or Extra heavy. I use a 7'3" MH Duckett White Ice for my frogging. I usually throw a frog under trees and docks or even open water. But it performs well even on mats.

 

my point is, you can expand your search for a 6' or even 6'6" MH rod. Spoil it with 50lb braid and have at it, young man!
