been searching for a frog rod. Only use its going to see. And I have a couple in mind but what do you guys use for a frog rod. My birthday is July 4th and its going to be a b day present for me. I currently use a 7ft heavy st croix. And I want to bump up to 7 4 or maybe up to 7 11 for control. I have a brand new tatula 8.1 waiting to meet its rod.
Do you guys have any recommendations or rods u love or hate ?
ALX Toadface – 7’2” but the tip is MH so you can “walk the dog” or work the frog… butt section is Heavy power for when you need to pull a hooked fish away from cover. I’ve had several other frog type of rods previously and find the Toadface the best hybrid/combo rod yet.
Not to be a kill-joy on a specific brand but I used to have St. Croix Heavy AvidX and then an LTB Heavy for frogging. They were unbelievable heavy rods (5.5 ounces), tip-weighted and fatiguing. I sold them to get the Toadface which is 4.2 ounces. Daiwa and other brands have rods too in that 4 1/2 oz range. I really think it’s worth doing the homework on rod weight if you want something 7’4” to 7’11” and I don’t think SC is a great option IMO.
Agree with FryDog, but what’s ur budget? Bought a 13 fishing frog rod for 100$ and love it
I’ve used a 7 ft 2 in Shimano Clarus MHF for the last 5 years. It’s been a great rod and hasn’t failed once at getting fish out of the heaviest cover. 5+ lbers on it. And it’s not too expensive. I would like to try that Toadface though. Might be the next one I get.
I just ordered the alx toadface. Thanks for the input

Let us know how you like it. It also lists secondary uses for swim jigs and Chatterbaits… I’ve used it for those too. Great all-round rod, but best for froggin’
