Looking For A Frog Rod

Featured Replies

i was hoping i could find one at dicks sporting goods and possibly pair it with the shaman citica 200.

i was in there the other day but they don't sell the st. croix mojo bass frog rod. they had a field and stream 7' heavy action extra fast. they did not have to many that were heavy action. they had the new abu garcia new technology rods there the verities they were 7 foot heavy but they don't or at least did not say if it was fast extra fast etc.

i would like to know what the most common size rod action and all that is as well whats a good rod that dicks carries i wanna try to avoid buying online takes too long and shipping is expensive. only down side is they don't sell the spro frog there main frog is the kvd and I'm not sure if they are any good most people i know use the spros

First of all, the Citica is not going to be the reel of choice if you want to use it for frogging. Your going to want something that is going to be faster to horse the fish out of the cover. I would recommend either a Curado G7, or E7, or the Chronarch E7. A good MH or H action rod is going to do the trick, but make sure your over 7' for the extra leverage. As far as the frog, I personnaly like the Booyah padcrusher, its inexpensive, and very soft.

A 6:1 Citica is fine.............I use one on my frog rod and amazingly catch fish with it. The KVD frog is also a decent frog, not as durable as a Spro, but they catch fish. Avoid the Mojo 7' H "Frog and Slop" rod, it's a heavy miserable broom stick....and I am a St Croix fan, If you want a St Croix Mojo, get the 7' MH/Fast " Spinnerbait" rod, 1000 times better frog rod than the H powered one.

okay. im stayin away from the curado they are way over priced considering revos are better. at least i like mine for i never had the e series but the g series feels like a cheap $30 throw away piece of plastic that you get in a starter kit. i honestly don't under stand why they charge $200 for the e series with there are others just as good and a lot less. you would think you could get at least the 50 g for a buck and a quarter or a buck 50 bnib.

Good, more Curados for me.

don't get me wrong i have tried out a e series curado. I'm used to top of the line high speed very smooth bait casters and the g series feels like a pile of garbage compared to a penn international, t.c. luna etc etc etc. I'm used to those style reels so thats why i don't really care for the lower end ones. even though a few people i know that fish tournaments for bass won't touch high end reels or rods. just asked why and they said why own a high end set up and use them in tournaments when you can brake them when I'm on my bass boat i may have 7-20 rods with me and the whole time i will be standing on them and stepping all over them.
