Hi everyone. I am curious if anyone has any experience with this rod as I am looking to add it to my arsenal. I am curious as to wether I could throw other things on it than just frogs like swimbaits (light stuff like 1oz or less), a-rigs, flipping and c-rigs. I know that is a lot of different techniques and a pretty broad category but I don't fish those baits very often and don't need a rod to be perfect for any of them. So just curious as to whether or not it has enough tip to be somewhat versatile? Also am curious about the Gloomis GLX 894 but it is an extra $175 and really don't use those techniques too much as I said and have to buy the rod I choose from Cabelas so I am very limited on what I can pick out model wise. Any help would be great!

I was looking at this rod, but ended up going with the 7'2" power pitch.  I emailed with a shop owner on a different site that is a big fan of the series and he responded that it was a fantastic light pitching rod, little closer to a medium fast than fast.  He also threw magdraft freestyles, light A-rigs and C-rigs with great success.  He wasn't a fan of that model for frogs, but hadn't tried it, I assume because of length and the challenges of working a frog on a 7'9" rod.

 

Hopefully someone with actual 1st hand experience sees your post and can comment directly.

Correction; all of the above was in reference to the Steez AGS line, apologies for a bunch of non-useful babble.

I can't read....

Thank you for the info. I believe the rods should be similar enough and I will likely purchase one and update this page with my thoughts!

Bringing this back to life.   Did you end up getting the rod and what did you think of it?
