The Abu Garcia Veritas is perfect for it. I almost only jig and it's all I'll use now. And it's one 99$ at bass proDetails:
does anyone have advise on rod reel set up for frog fishing and is the 7ft mh good choiceAnswers
A:
N0, because you need to have the rod tip down when fishing a frog and 7ft is probably going to be to long when fishing it down off of a boat or bank. I prefer a 6ft
Top 250 Contributor
A:
very good choice as you have plenty of backbone plus a soft tip for sensitivity.A:
the 7ft mh is a great all-around rod. if i only had to have 1 rod, that's the legnth and action i would have. i've used 7ft mh for everything i think and it's always came through for me. i would definately use it for frogs. the lightning rods are good quality rodsDetails:
I am looking at getting the 7ft MH. Are the tips fast?Answers
A:
YesA:
The tip seems to be a bit slower than my other rods with a fast tip but also faster than my moderate cranking rods. I would say it is between the moderate and fast tips.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
The tips are a bit slower than a typical 7MH graphite rod. There is a reason for this though. When a fish gets in close with no strecth line and a stiff rod you are going to rip the hook from his mouth. Also if you are acustom to fishing mono your more than likely crossing the eyes of the fish with the hookset, with braid you need some cushion to keep from ripping the lure from a fish's mouth. It's a great rod, go for it man.A:
slower tip to absorb for the no stretch of braid I would say moderate.Answers
A:
There are 7 guides
Top 250 Contributor
A:
on the 7 foot model, there are 7 guides counting the tipA:
6 GuidesDetails:
which one would be better, im fishing out of a pontoon with limited room and wats better a the m or mh heavy action i have the 6ftm spinning and love it im lookin at the 6.6 for baitcast thoAnswers
A:
It depends on what size fish you think you are going to hook in to if your catching 5-12lbs i would get the mh because it will be easy to rip them in rather than the medium. If you get the Medium you will be able to throw baits farther than the mh. its really your opinion4+ lber got in easy
A:
MH because you can use anything with a mh rodA:
If you are just going to us it for dock fishing it would be better to use a 6ft MH because you have better mobility with it. But if you are going to use it for other fishing the 6'6 MH would be better.
Top 250 Contributor
A:
id say the 6'6" MH because of its superior castablility and power, but it is still very portable. just learn how to cast sidearm or underhand off the boat and you'll be fine.A:
i would choose the 6'6. it has a lot more power and it has great sensitivity. the 6 foot is not as strong and doesn't cast as far. if you are fishing with live bait go with the 6 foot and if your going for big fish then get the 6'6 rod. these rods are great!!!A:
i like the mh the bestAnswers
A:
of courseA:
A one year manufacturers warranty against defects in materials or workmanship.A:
Yes I believe it is a 1 or 2 year through pure fishing my wife closed our van door on my rod and I sent it back to them and they sent me a new one took about 3 weeks.A:
yesAnswers
A:

Top 250 Contributor
A:

TitaniumDetails:
How well will this combo be able to cast light baits? For example wacky style?Answers
A:
Yes. I throw unweighted flukes with a Shimano Curado and it throws very wellA:
I have a 7ft Mh with a revo stx spooled with 12lb seagaur Floro and thats all I use it for wacky and texas rigging Senko baits
Top 250 Contributor
A:
ill tell you this rod will definitely handle the 12# flouro though for wacky rigs i prefer a little lighter line than that. it has the control and sensitivity for light lures and you should have no problems with it.A:
I use mine in the medium heavy to cast weightless stick worms. 15 pound hybrid line. Works great as far as I am concerned. Normally watch my line for a strike so sensitivity isn't a great requirement. Now having said that, I use weighted worms also and find that this rod has great sensitivity feeling the bottom.Details:
Also, is this rod light?Answers
A:
Yes , The rod is very light but with plenty of backbone.
Top 250 Contributor
A:
yes, and yes. the citica is a great reel. ive used one, but i have the old accurist by quantum paired with mine. any reel that can cast is a good pair for this rod and the citica will be excelent. the rod is very light and very sensitive.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
Yes, this rod is good with most bait casting reels. It really shines with braided line and the Citica.A:
yes the citica would work well for the rod..the rod is very light for the amount of backbone it hasDetails:
Also, it is in Lefty retrieve.Answers
Top 250 Contributor
A:
yes it would. any reel that can handle some heavy lifting (that quantum you want can by the way) is great for this rod. it is very strong and sensitive. so any reel can go with it. it would be a great pair.A:
The first series. Its black and about 100 dollars. If you want to see the reel go on youtube and look up bassallyear with no spaces and this is his combo
