![]() ![]() I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen a rod with this exact kind of grip. The grip on this rod warrants a little more discussion. This is impressive for any frog rod, but when you take into account this dense cork handle and larger rod guides (as opposed to EVA foam grips and micro guides that are used to lighten the weight of other rods), it becomes an even more impressive and unique rod build. This 7-foot, 2-inch medium heavy is listed on SixGill’s site at 5.3 ounces. But having a well balanced, fairly light rod is extremely helpful with fatigue when power fishing all day. I still want there to be some substance to a rod I’m flipping or frogging with. The rod isn’t feather light by any means, and I don’t really like rods that are. When I first pulled the Fenrir Rod out of the rod tube, I was immediately impressed by how light this rod is, especially for a flipping stick. That is, until I tried this rod, and now there are three. I’ve only found two rods in the last 15 years that I’d confidently tie a frog on and take into a tournament situation. ![]() But it also needs to be stiff and strong enough to pull bass out of sometimes thick and nasty cover. This is a bait that I like to fish a lot, so I need a rod I can count on that is short enough, with a soft enough tip that I can skip a bait well under cover. We’ll get into the specifics in a moment, but as for using this rod for frogging in particular, I’ve be very pleased. So, SixGill sent over one of their Fenrir 7-foot, 2-inch medium heavy rods for me to test out, and I’ve been doing just that for the last couple months. But I really love to frog, and have more opportunity to fish this way locally than I do either of the others. Though this rod series is designed for flipping, I was optimistic that the 7-foot, 2-inch medium-heavy power rod would be a good option for frogging. ![]()
