St croix mojo

Looking to get the slop-n-frog rod. MBC70HF. Going to use it for frogs. But was also looking to possibility wanting to use it for a swim jig rod to what are your take on this

I would not use nearly that heavy a rod for swim jigs. Do you plan on running the same reel and braid for your swim jigs? I am running a 7’1″ GLX m/h with a calais DC as the reel on the swim jig setup. I use 17 pound seaguar invizx fluro for line. I like a bit more give in my moving bait rods than what you’d be giving yourself. I learned from a pretty good one in lacrosse the swim jig deal about. 15 years ago. I always kind of copied his setups with my minor variations.

I fish swimjigs just like a slow moving crankbait…with a twitch once in a while. Most swim jigs I use are 1/4 to 3/8oz and require a MH rod at best. Early prespawn thru Spawn on the Great Lakes they are very effective on the slow steady, shallow water retrieve, but the takes are subtle, then I use a 7’4″ Med casting rod with 20# 832 braid and a 10’long fluoro leader of 12lb test.
Heavy cover applications would allow heavier tackle but that Mojo is not designed to cast that light a lure.

The mojo frog is a heavy rod. I don’t mean stiff, I mean weight wise. It is a heavy rod. It is going to wear you out throwing swimjigs on it. It works okay for froggin and flippin/pitchin but that is about it.

If you want a good swimbait rod, get out of the mojo line and go up to the premier or avid line. They are a lot lighter and will feel more comfortable in your hands. I know they don’t say “bass” on them, and they dont have a split grip, but they still do catch bass.
