Best/favorite Frog Rod Owned? 2025


fishing user avatarBassBossMN reply : 

Im in the market for a new frog rod and it got me wondering, what's your best/favorite frog rod you've ever owned?


fishing user avatarrobster80 reply : 

i just picked up a cabelas tournament zx frog rod. havent used a frog with it yet but love the feel of the rod and i think itll perform great.


fishing user avatarLucky Craft Man reply : 

I purchased a G Loomis NRX 916 UBR and tested it out with some frogs this Fall. That rod has a ton of potential (and versatility). I will give it a true work out this Summer in slop and pad fields, but it definitely will have the power to hoist fish out of heavy slop.


fishing user avatarTywithay reply : 

ALX 7'4" Dragger custom with full handle and spiral wrapped mid-micro SiC guides. It's awesome for small swimbaits and c-rigs as well.

I got the same one. Am debating if it's too heavy for slop fishing here. I normally has a medium or medium heavy and haven't had a problem yet. Was considering exchanging it for a MH.

i actually took it out and threw buzzbait on it. really like the action. id keep it man


fishing user avatarOntarioFishingGuy reply : 

I like my Mojo Bass 7 foot hvy/fast. I can walk a frog easily, and i can skip a frog way back under trees and docks. Great backbone too. Great rod for 110$.

Dobyns 735c

Dobyns 736c

5 power for the not so thick, 6 power when it gets nasty.


fishing user avatarBlues19 reply : 

I used an older Berkley Lightning Rod last year. It was a 6'6" MH.  I caught a BUNCH of fish on that reel.  I bought a 7' MH Mojo Bass this year.  It is lighter and I think it will be a darn good rod for frogs. 


fishing user avatarbuzzfrog reply : 

custom rod 7'3 MH-H XF tip, love it can skip frogs under anything and since I am addicted to throwing em, I also have a *** 7'3 MHXF with a daiwa tat type R. cant wait to try that combo out

Same. Love these for frog rods.


fishing user avatarWar Eagle 44 reply : 

Powell Max 735. Mag Heavy power so you never have to worry if the fish is coming to the boat, absolutely love mine. 


fishing user avataraavery2 reply : 

I use the Falcon Cara Jason Christie signature model, fits the way I fish frogs very well.


fishing user avatarJay Ell Gee reply : 

I just use a Powell Diesel 734. 7'2 MH/XF. It does the job well for around 60 bucks, which is great, because a frog is on it 24/7.


fishing user avatarAlpha Male reply : 

I like the pinnacle perfecta 7'3" MH-F rod. 3/8 - 1 1/4oz weights

Or my new DX 746..yeeee haw


fishing user avatarww2farmer reply : 

I pretty much have hated every rod I ever owned for frogging that the mfg. labeled as a "Frog" rod. My favorites have been just good old fashioned 7' MH/F rods, for GP frog work, and then using a flipping stick for dragging them across mats.

Loomis 935C 7'9" Fast/Mag Heavy


fishing user avatarfrogflogger reply : 

I own a half dozen frog rods from loomis to falcon - my day to day favorite is the daiwa light and tough frog rod - not sure they're still on the market. Fished frogs 250-300 days a year for 5 yrs. the Daiwa was the all around best for me.


fishing user avatarBassinLou reply : 

My current frogging rod that I really enjoy is a Dobyns Champion 736C. 


fishing user avatarZB85 reply : 

Dobyns Savvy 735

fishing user avatarbuzzfrog reply : 

i cant see casting a frog on a 7'6 up rod and I am 6'2 lol , but I hardly have vegetation, I have really never had to drag a frog, always walk or spit


fishing user avatarTeal reply : 

Powell Endurance 725. Its a freakin broom stick with a super soft tip. I used it last week for some 3/4 and 1oz wake baits and it did fine with that too! ,

Dobyns Champion 735


fishing user avatarOK Bass Hunter reply : 

Shimano cork handled 7'-2" Extra Heavy/Extra Fast Crucial rod.

I typically dont walk frogs, I use a tip up presentation, especially in the heavy cover... so the longer rods do a nice job of casting a long way, but also having a more favorable line angle to get the fish up out of the slop and in the boat... if i fish them in open water, i use a 7'MH/F but that is not very often...
