    7 3 Heavy extra fast

    This rod is a work horse in my boat! Flipping or frogging heavy vegetation it handles both jobs easily. Strong and sensitive and the new Gen2 reel seat fits like glove.

    Best frogging rod on the Market. Love the new grip and reel seats. Plenty of backbone with just enough tip to really work the frog.

    Fast Power!

    Posted by Mike Tadlock on Nov 24th 2020

    I love the new IMPULSE 7'3" Heavy/Extra Fast rods. I am a shallow water fisherman mostly and fish grass and cover a lot. I use this rod for Swimjigs and Frogs. I was using a different IMPULSE rod for this technique until I spoke with Lance and he suggested I try these and MAN was that a game changer for consistent hooksets and the Power to get the fish up and out of cover and grass. Everyone probably has their own "method" of fishing swimjigs and frogs...for my style these rods work perfectly! Thank you IMPULSE Rods!

    Frog Rod!

    Posted by Kris W. on Aug 6th 2020

    Bought the 7'3 Heavy xtra fast for froggin and IT IS PHENOMENAL! Replaced my Dobyns and I couldn't be more satisfied. Very lightweight and balanced makes it easy working the frog with no fatigue and incredible hook up power. Thanks Impulse for the recommendation on the perfect frog rod.

    Awesome Sensitivity and POWER

    Posted by Mike Tadlock on Apr 11th 2020

    I used my new 7"3" Heavy/Extra Fast Rods this last Friday. A buddy and I were fishing a private lake in Jacksboro, TX. Combined we landed over 60 bass! Most of them were between 3-6lbs. We had 5 over 6lbs and the largest was 8lbs. We were fishing primarily Swimjigs and Buss N Frogs. The topwater Frog bite was insane. The strikes were vicious and did I mention we had LOTS of aquatic vegetation to work through? The New rods REALLY made a difference to get the heads of those big ole bass up and on top of the grass. The larger fish pulled down into the grass and Have my IMPULSE rods a good workout. My buddy was fishing another brand and I let him fish(sample) one of my new rods and he loved it. He told me when he buys rods again he will be buying an IMPULSE after seeing how they performed under these conditions. My 4 new rods just expand my already large arsenal of amazing IMPULSE rods. I am an IMPULSE Lifer!
