I'm curious as to how the action and power of the dc735 and 736 camp are with the Expride 72hb and 73xhb ?

Can't speak of Expride brand, but I can tell you after fishing both DC rod models mentioned  for YEARS! If matched to the correct technique, they are great workhorse rods! The action is just right.

Power and action probably pretty close the Expride may be a touch faster and it's a more sensitive rod.

 So dc735 comparable to Expride 72hb , and dc736 t 73xhb .
Correct ?
Will the 72hb be heavy enough for dragging the big girls out of the grass on a HB frog .

Based on the rod comparisons you presented. The 736 would be the better choice for really thick cover.

I'm a Table Rock guy. We don't have grass or slop and I seldom fish a frog so I couldn't say.
I will say one won't catch any fish the other wouldn't. Pick the one that feels best to you.
