BeardedBassGuy Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Just wondering if anyone has used the falcon Jason Christie series ($99) 6 11 for frogging. Im looking for a shorter frog rod 7 ft or less around the same price point. I fish out of a small jon boat and a shorter rod is much easier to walk a frog with in open water for me. Thanks Quote
jbrew73 Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 I had the Christie 7’3” rod and it was the best action for a frog rod That I have ever had. It would cast a mile and I literally could not miss a hook set. It was perfect until I got a boat and needed something for tip down presentation (walking, etc) and I just can’t work a frog tip down to my liking with anything over 7’. Tip up in a pond it was perfect. I would expect the 6’11” rod to be a really great rod as well. Quote

Iv seen posts about the jason Christie cara series rod, but i believe thats a higher price point rod. Haven't heard too much about the jason Christie signature series, which is what im thinking about. Quote
fvogel67 Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 I have the 6’8” MH, It’s an awesome stick that excels at many techniques. I use mine for crankbaits and jerkbaits. 1 Quote
