I've fished a long time. Believe it or not, I don’t have any medium-heavy fast action rods for Texas rigs—only moderate action MHs. I do have plenty of heavy rods, including the 7'4" Daiwa Tatula Elite AGS frog rod, the 7'6" AGS, and the 7'0" medium-moderate-heavy Brent Ehrler rod. But I’m missing a true medium-heavy fast action rod specifically for Texas rigs. Based on the rods I currently use, am I missing out? Would you recommend the 7'3" AGS Brent Ehrler MH rod to fill that gap?

I have the Ehrler mh AGS . It's my favorite do anything rod. I throw a lot of moving baits with it but it's plenty sensitive for dragging

A H/F frog rod is definitely different that a MH/F, but they do have at least some overlap. I like a MH/F rod that has some bend, but can drive a heavier (than light wire) hook home, but not be a broom stick to cast and keep a fish pinned while it gets played. A frog rod is more meant to drag a fish out of heavy cover and into the boat quickly, and they do it well.

 

Daiwa has their 7'3" All-Around MH/F rod covered across several lines including Tatula, Kage, Tatula Elite, Zillion, and Tatula Elite-AGS. Same basic intent, but some more. . . . "refined" than others depending on how much refinement you can afford or you choice of reel seat/butt details. If I wanted to replace the Tatula model I have, I'd probably be looking at the Tatula Elite or Tatula Elite AGS version. At this time I think I would go with the non-AGS version because I would mostly want a bit of a workhorse more so than a thoroughbred.
