Falcon Bucco Rod... for Frogging???

[IAFrogger]

Hey guys.... I found a Bucco rod on a clearance rack at Scheels very early in the spring.... it was a 6' 6" Medium Heavy action.... got it for $60. Could not pass it up.... I love the feel of this rod (feather weight).... I mounted my Curado 200E7 on it for throwing frogs.... overall, it has worked very well..... I love the light weight and my accuracy casting this setup.... however, I have lost a few fish on it that I thought I should have landed. I am beginning to doubt if this rod is long enough and stiff enough for frogging.... now understand that I am in Iowa (largemouth bass state record is 10 lbs.).... so I am not likely to catch many fish over 5 lbs.... I am considering getting the Bucco 7" Heavy action rod for my serious frogging. I love the foam grip on this rod (which I thought I would hate)... much better grip when my hands are sweating, or wet... but the light weight quality of this rod is exceptional for the price....

Does anyone have the 7' Heavy Bucco? .... any thoughts or advice on this rod? ..... I have been using a St. Croix 7' Medium Heavy action Premier Rod for frogging and it works very well.... but after using the Bucco for a few weeks, the Croix feels like a log in my hand weight wise...
