I went with the Cliffhanger and the Swamp Survivor. I wanted to see how they were at opposite ends of the weight spectrum.
Let's us know your impressions of the swap survivor. I'd like to know if it can be an mag heavy rod for frogs, big Texas rigs, jigs and rats. A Hyuga 72H type rod that you can actually fish tip up and do bottom contact.
Ok, I've had two weekends with mine, I got two and moved one to offset some shipping costs. It's got that Megabass softness to it, but not in a bad way. I think it'll be a versatile stick where having a nice tip to fling the frogs will help. If you like stiff frog rods then don't acquire one. Yes on rats and wakes. Bottom contact will again depend on what you want out of a rod with that technique. Some guys like super extra stiff rods NRX style. I have no exposure to the Hyuga so I can't compare. But so far I'm liking it. I'd say it's in the realm of what you would expect a Tequila Baccarac to do for you if that makes sense.
Thanks for posting that up for me. I must of missed it. Sounds like it’s what I’m looking for. I’ll have to get one on order. How’s the durability on this line? Anyone having issues??
Still considering the swamp survivor for frogs,crawlers,and small glides. Can't decide if I want a versatile heavy rod or I want to just stick with a more specialized frog rod.

That’s what I’m looking at that rod for. I’ll order it soon. You should just order it and let me know how it is.
I have this very stick and fell in love with it in 23. It has all the sensitivity you need, and I love that it's a half power lighter and five inches longer than the p5 version. I can pretty much throw any light lure and it handles it great.
