Dobyns Champ 735c and a 7.x:1 reel of your brand liking.

The rods and reels I use for frogging pull double and triple duty.

I had the same question. I am thinking of getting the bass pro pro qualifier on a med heavy carbonlite. Do you think that would would for the mentioned above. Sorry for jacking the tread.

Thank you for the input. I was wondering the heavy would be better but was not sure. Is a 7 foot rod ok.

As long as you have braid on the reel you can throw a frog on anything with a decent backbone. I've thrown them on med spinning outfits and mh casting, my buddy uses a cheap daiwa combo he got at Walmart for 25$ that's rated up to 3/4 oz.

Go with as long of a rod that you can easily use in a tip down manner, that is how frogs are typically worked. The longer the rod you can work in this manner without issue will benefit you on the jig side of things.

Thank you very much for the input. Very good to know.

Do you think that the abu veritas in 7 heavy would fit this application? And a lews bb1?

You may only need a MH if you're going to buy a Veritas. Those things are generally rated a power above, If you get to feel them in hand, see which one feels better for you.

I can only speak for the rod, but I prefer the 7' MH Veritas for general frogging. If super thick cover is your game you might want a heavy powered rod, I use my 7'6" H vendetta flipping stick for dragging frogs across mats. The 7'H is just too short and stiff for my liking for that kind of work.

Would the setup i mentioned also work for crank baits. I bought a few for cheap and was wondering what to use them on.

Very tough to frog and crank on the same rod...my crankin rods are like noodles compared to my frog rod

Ok thank you. Could i just use my med spinning gear that i have.

I guess technically you could, but most people use a slower tip rod for crank baits, so it bends deeper into the rod.

You could get away with square bills on a frogging rod possibly, but not much else
