Hey guys, my girlfriend works at dunhams so she gets a discount on everything. This month she gets an extra discount on top of that for fishing products. I figured I would use this to get the frogging setup I have wanted. Here are my options.
Berkley Lightning Rod Shock- 7'6 Heavy Pros- Heavier rating, Cheaper Cons- Longer split grip, No idea if its F or MF or XF

Abu Garcia Veritas- 7'6 MH F Pros- Shorter Split Grip, Lighter, Cons- More expensive, Quality control, Only rated MH

I didn't see any others. But I didn't know which one to choose. I fish some pretty heavy slop. I throw Pad Crashers and Buzzfrogs mainly. Can these rods be used for other presentations also? I plan on spooling it with #65 braid also.
Thanks,
Christian

That is the exact Rod I throw for buzz frogs on mats, pads, really any vegitation

both rods can double as a flipping rod or a Carolina rig rod.

Ok thanks. I'm not clear on what flipping is yet but I will look it up.

Which one?

Berkley Lightning Rod Shock- 7'6 Heavy

I could really use some more opinions. I'm heading out to get it today!

I got the mojo bass slop and frog rod I love it

I can't get that whwee she works. The rods I listed are the the two options that I know of.

If you can get the veritas for less than $75 I would ****** that up. Either you'll fall in love with it, or it could wind up being trade bait later on down the road.

I could get it for like $60. You make a good point.

get the veritas.

get the veritas.

Do you think it will have enough backbone for heavy slop?

yes, ABU Garcia rods are a lot stiffer than others. so a Abu Veritas MH is like another brands H. so you should be perfect

Got the Veritas and slapped a Pro Max on it.
