re: Rod Suggestions

i'd have different rods for frogging and flipping and punching. a punch rod will be closer to a good frog rod in terms of action and tip but i'd rather my frogging rod be shorter to walk it without hitting the water.

i like medium heavy / x fast for flipping/pitching. This would be with weights ranging from 1/16 to 3/4. I fish a bunch of veritas rods and think the are the best value for the money.

I got a punch rod being built from an mhx blank FP935. Its 7'9" Heavy Mod-fast tip. I wanted to try a different action to make sure the fish take the bait before I set the hook under the mats.

Frog rod i'd like around 7ft heavy/ fast tip. Honestly have yet to find the right one. I find the big heavy rods for slop frog fishing don't work well for ribbits.

But every brand is different. Veritas are on the heavy side and kistlers are on the lighter side as for as power.

I can get a Vendetta for around $55… should I jump on it?

7'6" Heavy you won't regret it. Frogging ain't a sensitivity issue but I also use my Villian just as much as my "real" Boyd Duckett for flipping and punching.

Ive got a 7'3 Magnesium "Frog and Slop", its a beast

I almost got the magnesium, but the local Kistler rep got me a smokin deal on a few KLX's. I hear good things about the mags, I'll probably buy a few.

I have 2 they are crank bait rods, I like them so far.

I have a lot of hours on my vendettas though and for $55 that's a good deal
