Best Frog Rod For The Money?

[MichiganFishing1997]

Possibly going to get a frog setup, whats the best bang for my buck on a frog rod?? Maybe a reel to match?

[clayton86]

berkley lighting 7' heavy its what i use and love it plus its only 30 bucks alot of times

powell max 735 frog rod. also an amazing jig/flippin/pitchin rod. as for a reel, id say go with a lews speed spool or from the good things i hear, a bps pro qualifier.

I will definitely consider that. What line?

I like to use 20 or 30lb sufix performance braid if your fishing the thick stuff. The braid just cuts right through.

I use a Pfluger President packed with 60lb yellow Power Pro for visibility on a Team Daiwa L&T Frog Rod

Power Pro will do. I used 50# in green.

shimano 7'2 compre H with quantium 7:3 smoke, 50 lb PP braid, like sex on a stick

[msolorio]

50lb power pro would be just fine. my preference though, sunline fx2 braid.

I need some suggestions on rods and reels please

im in the 100 dollar each price range

Powell Diesel 7'2" MH wearing a Lews Tourament MG. That combo costs $200 at full price. As for line, Suffix Performance Braid 65lb.

Good luck!

Look for a used Powell MAX or Dobyn's Champion, both in the model 735.[Powells wll be the cheaper of the two]

Slap a used Curado in a 7/1 ratio, and you will have a froggin combo that would be hard to be beat by anything, pretty much.

I have the Powell 735 MAX , and it is an awesome one-piece frogging rod. It is 7'3" in length. [i paid $90 for a used one.]

I also have {two} Daiwa "Light and Tough" 'Frog Rods', that also are 7' 3", but they telescope down to 6 feet even for easy storage.

[Paid $100 each new for them]

Look for a 'lightly'-used Cudado D or E for around $100,

Slap some backing line first, then some 50 pound Power Pro, and go get them.

It doesn't get much better than that.

Thanks for the great advice! but where do i find these things used?

On freshwater fishing forums , like this one and many others.

They often have 'for sale' forums, like this one does.

I am on several Bass fishing forums from all across the USA .

Since I am living in NY, I frequent a NY-based site often..

Most years, I fish for about eight to ten days in the California-Delta as well as several canyon lakes there, located south of the Delta [ inland from San Francisco ], so I am on a site from there, especially right before my visits there.

BY being an active member on various fishing forums on the internet, I have had some truly amazing Bass fishing adventures to far away places here in the USA by meeting other anglers on the internet. Through that, I have caught both northern and Florida-strain Largemouths, hybrids of the same, Smallmouth Bass, Spotted Bass, MeanMouth Bass, freshwater Striped Bass ,"wipers", and Peacock Bass.

Wooo Hoo, I love bass fishing !!.
