You want something pretty stout with fast action. I use a med-heavy 5 power, (it fishes more a heavy) and extra fast action. I have heavy matts/vegetation so I need something to power them out, also use fast reel to get 'em in quick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluebasser86 23,152 Report post Posted January 10, 2018 The frogging rod I use is a 7' 3" H/F Ethos Micro from Academy. I've also used it for pitching and it worked pretty well. I got 2 of them for $27 each but they're $80 every day. One of the rods I use for pitching a lot is a 7' 3" H/F Okuma TCS that's also labeled as a frog rod and I have no doubt it would work for it. You can get them around $100 pretty easily if you look a little bit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scarborough817 1,327 Report post Posted January 10, 2018 i use an abu garcia vendetta 7'6" H/F but i would suggest a dobyns fury 735c i think most will agree that 7'3" is the best all around length since it gives you a little more distance when pitching, as well as a little more leverage over the fish.

the reel ess 2,046 Report post Posted January 10, 2018 I have a 7'3" Cabela's Tournament ZX Frog model rod. It's a great rod and can stand up to dragging bass out of cover. But I don't love it for pitching/jigs/worms. I've tried and it's stiff as a pool cue. The Cabela's line of rods are on sale right now for $70. I use an older Falcon Lowrider 7' MH MF rod for those other presentations. It's my pitching rod because it has a great tip, but loads up in the first 1/3 of the rod. That, coupled with 30# braid is all the hooksetting power I need. I bought it for $50 from an older coworker. I looked it up and they still have that model rod. It's actually their Big Cranker rod. But the action and power are just perfect for what I use it for. I used to use this rod for both pitching and frogs and it performed well until I bought the Cabela's rod.
