I have been fishing frogs for the past 21 years. I have tried just about every rod out there. Some years ago in a tournament I drew one of the best California Delta fishermen around. This person actually gave me what has become my favorite Frog rod...a Lamiglas XFT 766. I like to make long casts and fish in the really heavy stuff. With this rod I have the power to set the hook, get the fish on top of the weeds and to the boat. I have tried Lamiglas' Frog Rod XC 725. I did not like this rod at all. I own several of the XFT 806 rods but the wieght of the rod becomes a factor after a long day on the water, my wrist just cant take it anymore. I use the 806 for big jigs...cant beat it.
