Toadface is an excellent rod for frogs and doubles real nice as a trap rod in early spring!!! its also good for C-rigs very versatile rod! Alex also has great customer service!

I have also been impressed with Tiapan Rods J-Will series rods. The 7'7" and the 7'4". Expride and Kistler Helium are up there also.

ALX is a very good rod company! Alex Makes all of his own blanks! Enox is his top of the line series, I actually prefer the Zolo series for plastics and jigs and the Ikos series for reaction type baits. I have had several of his rods for years. Good guy to do business with and will always take care ...

It is probably the most versatile rod in the line up. it will do senkos, to frogging. Its great for a trap and you can light pitch with it. Highly recommend this rod!

The dream is perfect for spinnerbaits and cranks! You can even throw a t-rig on it with no problem. Very versatile rod! ALX rods typically have a more moderate fast action. Parabolic if you will.

ALX rod is what I suggest. Kistler makes a great rod also however for what you are wanting to do The Powerbolt is the way to go do to the parabolic bend of the rod and the fact that it will be a lighter rod and better balanced. Hope this helps.

I use the ALX rods Toadface for frogs. I have one for hollow and the other for Ribbit type frogs. They work in the thickest grass in rayurn and Toledo. what I like about them is the whole rod loads well which is good for braid. They also double up as a good c-rig rod or rattle trap rod for me in win...

Correct all of this is subject to opinion, however yes everything was the same except for two different soft plastics. Maybe a tube is more sensitive than a brush hog, IDK. The Archangel has a more crisp sensitivity and the Steez is a little duller. Its not so bad I want to sell tho.

The Archangel is as sensitive as NRX. AGS is not

I have all of those rods and I would recommend group A.

I have a NRX 7'5" that I like, but its not the flipping stik its the lighter version. From what I have read about them the flipping sticks are very tip heavy which is what I have found with all the other Loomis rods I have held.

I had a chance to use my 7'9" Ags this weekend. I used it as a flip/pitch for 1/2oz jig. It did well and is a pretty well balanced rod. I don't like it as much as my Archangel 8' rods. they are better balanced to me as well as more sensitive. The diawa was sensitive just not as sensitive. It was sen...

I bought another 8' and it looks great and feels the same.

no it does not. I love this rod tho!
