Frog Rods

Talkin Froggin at Futurebass.com BB...
Frog Rods: I use the 7'3" St. Croix Avid and it is by far the best frog rod I've ever used. They claimed this rod a Med Hvy. They are no longer made:(, Gulp! better not break any more of them. Glad I have 2)

There are a number of manufacturers that are now making rods specifically for frog fishing.

St. Croix Legand Tournament SlopNFrog Rod is a 7" Heavy Fast ($240)

Bass Pro has a Johnny Morris Signature Series Frog Rod that is 7'2" Xheavy Xfast ($170). That same profile is also found in their Nitro Big Bass Rods ($150) and Extreme line ($100).

G. Loomis Frog Casting Rod 863C 7'2" Med Hvy ($230)
Same Profile in GLX ($440)
Loomis has numerous other rods that would probably make good Frog rods in sizes 7',7'1",7'3", and 7'5"

Daiwa Light and Tough Frog Rod 7'4" Hvy Fast ($130)

Kistler Graphite Plus Frog & Slop 7'3" Hvy ($150)

Lamiglass Certified Pro Graphite 7'2" Frog Rod ($185)

Powell Max Flippen Rod 7'3" Med Hvy X-Fast ($200)

Quantum Tour Edition Dean Rojas Frog Rod 7' MH ($190)

Dobyns Champion Series Frog Rod 7'3" Hvy XFast ($190)

Team All-Star Big Boy 7'2" Med Hvy Fast ($120)

Shimano Cumara Rods have 2, 7'2" Med Hvy models that would probably be awesome Frog Rods ($220)
