i too can attest that Daiwa's warranty is top notch. My zillion broke twice, both from my clumsiness, and Daiwa replaced them both w/o charge

The Steez XBD Frog Rod is a beautiful rod, very light and sensitive. Myself personally I didn't like how stiff the tip is, which makes it a chore to walk frogs. I ended up selling it. I like my Dobyns 735 for walking frogs. I just bought a Power Versatile and hear that it is an awesome frog rod among other things, I will have to try it out.

I use a dobyns champion 735 for walking frogs.
Has everything a frog rod needs, light tip with
a faster action and plenty of backbone.
I don't know if its the best because its the best
I haven't tried any other, but it works fine for me.

Been watching this threat since it appeared and still haven't seem my favorite. I love my MB BJ Power Versatile. It has a great taper and lots of power. MB should have named this rod the Guntersville Grass Rod. :lol:

My FAVORITE Frog rod is my Poison Glorious Rushburn. Honestly, so crisp, and has the power to haul em out of the slop here.

The best frog rod don t exist IMO.

It depends where you fish and how you fish.

For exemple a 7.4 rod will be perfect to fish large weeds area, but if you like to skipp under docks or trees a 7 foot rod will be better.

Some people will prefer very stiff action, others will prefer more tip action...

Really? I had that and the Delta, but it got sold fast. It was my first disappointment in a rod that expensive, but felt soo dead. By the end of the year it went on trades through three or more different owners.

I'm partial to the Megabass F6.5-74XBJ for heavy slop and open water. The Megabass F6-68X7 Super Rekkai is a NASTY dock or over hang skipping frog rod among other uses, just an incredible rod =D>

Honestly does it all when it comes to frogs.

I am guessing that means it kicks butt even through the thickest of grass as I fish a pond that is overloaded with grass, truly you hook up and then you are pulling in a ton of grass. I just ordered a Ninja Grass Blade to help me plow through the Jungle. Any extra info appreciated on this rod and other full handled frog rods appreciated.

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 winter. :big grin:

Same ratings as the Amart Flip, just in a shorter package. It is a heavy cover beast.

Thanks for the info guys I got a little antsy last night and pulled the plug on a Dobyns Champion Extreme DX746C. I got a smoking :big grin: deal on BBC and I hope this rod will do the job. I have been using a Dobyns Champion 795 :lol: with a Blue I'ze fACTORY TDZ since I did not have a frog rod. I am blown away by how far that setup could throw a frog which makes me ](*,) think twice about having a longer Frog rod when I am not in open water trying to walk the frog and need a super long cast. Man do I need help :oops: again
