I'm new to froggin' (got to love that name :)). I want to start looking at a rod just to fish the frog. Note I'm talking about the hard frogs, not the swimming frogs. Would the Daiwa Heartland Heavy Swimbait rod do as an inexpensive frog rod? I was thinking about the softer tip, thought it would be good for casting frogs. Or is this rod just too soft?

I have been using the Lamiglas Tournament Frog Rod. Seems to be working great throwing Soft or hard Frogs.

I don't know what everyone else uses but I throw the Redington RFX 7911. I LOVE froggin' with it because it has tons of power but enough flex to really hold onto the fish on the headshake.
BassinDon got to use one of mine last weekend and stuck some fish with it so maybe he could give you some unbiased insight, not really sure if he liked them or not.
Check them out at www.redington.com

I've also been using the Lami Tourney Frog rod and had 3"s added to the butt. Really is a sweet rod for froggin!

I'm also into the lamiglass for froggin, however I like the 806. I feel the 8 footer gives me a lot of leverage on a big fish. It also has a pretty short handle allowing you to walk the ribbit real easy. It also doubles as a great punching rod.

Thanks guys. Looks I'll save up for the Lamiglas. Seems to be a pretty good rod for froggin'. Plus, seems like it could serve double-duty for me, I do a lot of punchin' here. Just wish my fists weren't so sore after :+ Thanks again.

You don't plan on using that frog rod at the fin do you????
Frogs don't work there...LOL ;)

Are you fishing the team event this weekend?
-Shane

Yeah. I'm partnered up with Scott. It was looking bad about there about 2 weeks ago... I didn't have a partner. But I ended up seeing Scott on the water that evening and he didn't have one yet either. So I ended up with him. But that's cool... if anything, it gave me more of a reason to buy more stuff! :)

That's cool. Scott is a good stick there at the fin. I was going to fish all of the team events with Big Rob but this time I guess I wasn't good enough so he partnered up with the famous Butch Brown.
I called Scott today to see if I could fish with my son instead and he said no so I might still show up to fun fish and see if I can get some big fish. The better sacks are going to come fishing deep.
Don't spend all day throwing the frog.
