For people with the 7'2H - does it have enough tip to be a frog rod? Or is it more suited to bottom contact? How about swimbaits like 5 and 6" Keitech on jigheads and weighted swimbait hooks?
Also looking for feedback on the 7'4H for anyone who has it.

I have two of the 7’2H model. I use it for worms and jigs and love it. Sensitive and has the perfect taper for me to set and drive the hook consistently.
What weight jigs do you throw with it?

1/8, 3/16 so far. It can handle 1/4 oz no problem
what's the high end of this rod?

Interested as well.
The rod is rated 7/16-1 1/2 so I wasn't expecting it to be throwing such light weight jigs and worms.

3/8 , and 1/2 oz jigs are the heaviest I throw around where I am at and it’s perfectly fine. It’s like a better version of the nrx 854, it has versatility.

No worries, that reel and rod is really cool match up color wise.
SV1012 spool in one and 1016 G1 spool in the other
The shimano knobs on the cf handle “feels” better to me than the slp.
I’m using 13 fish fluke style bait on a zappu flasher hook. Just experimenting
