Do any of the big brands(abu garcia, shimano, diawa etc...) sell a heavier spinning rod close to the 1oz mark? I need a 7ft heavy or medium heavy rod for skipping frogs and baits. Would really like a stiffer rod

Personally I do not use spinning gear for any heavy cover situations.

Additionally I'll echo what @ww2farmer posted recently here regarding the subject

However an Inshore rod might be what your looking for.  St Croix has several - the Mojo spinning rods are rated for what you're looking.

There are also similar rated models in the other more expensive St Croix lines of rods as well.

Good Luck
