Double duty setup for frogs and swimbaits?

Well we're allowed to have 5 rods in the tournaments I'm fishing and I need one that can pull double duty for frogs and swimbaits. I'm not talking huge swimbaits, nothing more than a 6" hud. It would probably need to be rated for up to 2oz.

I guess my bigger question though is what line would you use. I know braid is standard for frogs but not very good for swimbaits. I don't fish extremely thick stuff with the frogs. Would you go with a heavy mono or?

    Crucial CRCX711MH will work well for the 6" Hudd and the frog. I use this rod for both and I really like it.

    Any more suggestions? I'm looking to stay under the 7'6" size.

    I'd say go with a 7'6" MH rod.

    As far as line, for frogs, you gotta have braid.
