Frog rod: DX 746C vs DC736c vs 7’3” XH expride vs ALX toadface.

Im not concerned with price difference on these. Just looking to hear from guys who have tried these models.  Also would like to get opinions on these rods for pitching and punching. Thanks!

Im sure the others have their fans and their place. I don’t go into the jungle without a 73XH Expride. having one for frogging and one for pitching/punching is ideal

How do you like it for walking frogs? Thats the one drawback I've heard about that rod.

Had the toadface and it was a good rod for light to medium cover frogging. It’s not heavy enough if you fish really thick slop or mats. Sold it and purchased the 7’3XH Expride towards the end of last year but have not been able to fish it yet.

I got the 7'3 XH Expride this winter that I plan on using for creatures baits/jigs in heavier cover. I know some people rave about it as a frog rod. I could definitely see that if you're fishing the thick stuff. But like you said, it might not be as good for walking a frog in open water. I like to have a little softer tip for that,
