What size rods do you guys use to throw frogs? Do you use a different rod for open water applications than you would for throwing up onto mats?

I realize that frog rods are usually long for increased casting distance, but what sort of action should I be looking for?

I don't think I could spring for another rod right now but if I could get some examples of rods that would be good for throwing the frog I might be able to find something that I have that will work. I have been using a 6'6'' Allstar titanium MH (AST786C) a Chronarch and 50lb Power Pro. Could I use something as long as the Loomis BBR964C? I don't know...

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
