TOPWATER FROG

We have totally redesigned the frog rod line-up with two new, ultra-powerful specialty rods designed for both open water and heavy cover. We’ve not only improved the action, but reduced the weight of these rods substantially thanks to our IMX-PRO technology. They’re both top water rods, pure and simple, but they’re designed specifically for fishing faux frogs.

TOPWATER SERIES

When you’re fishing small to medium-sized topwater baits, like Pop-R’s, Rico’s, and Tiny Torpedoes, especially around brush, stick ups, docks or chunk rock, you need a rod that can place your lure softly and accurately. This rod features our proprietary progressive taper along with a unique mid-flex tip design, giving you uncanny accuracy and lure control. Add a surprisingly powerful butt-section and you’ve got the ultimate in a light topwater casting rod.

UMBRELLA RIG

Casting an umbrella rig is a little like casting a hunk of sage brush. It’s awkward, cumbersome and hard to handle. The most difficult thing about fishing this rig is the cast. We designed this rod specifically for fishing umbrella rigs. The tip is soft enough to load, yet stiff enough that it doesn’t over-flex and create issues with line and reel.
