Im looking to start throwing heavier swimbaits. Have thrown up to 4 oz for a while now but some of the new ones weigh almost 7 oz. Im just trying to get some ideas on a rod that will handle those well but not be overkill.
thanks for the help

Not sure of your budget but a Low Downs Custom White Label XH or XXH is a good choice.They are stout for sure but have a nice action to them.Not broomsticks. Maybe pose the question over on the "Swimbait Underground" site.
Ok thanks. Ill do that
My Ldc is good...had it over 4 years and performs well the couple times I've used it
Where are the BIG ones? When are we going?
LOOKING for a Great deal on a Slightly used 20-21' Boat.
Anybody try the daiwa dx or hudd swimbait rod
Ldc white label xxh would do you great they are really awesome rods for swimbaits
Look into F5 customs...

The Dobyn's 867 also gets some good reviews from the swimbait community.
This - ALX Rods Artemis Swimbait Rod
ALX Rods entry into the hardcore swimbait market comes with this proven moderate action 7'9" swimbait rod codenamed "Artemis". Ideally suited for hardbody swimbaits up to 4oz. The Artemis features three double foot guides (10, 8, 7) and six size 6 heavy duty single foot guides plus a heavy duty size 6 top. The rod features a blend of X-Flock grip with Texilum tubing for a total handle length of 15.5" behind a Fuji TCSM reel seat.
Never owned an alx. A lot of guys on here talk about them. Really good rods?
Also never had a custom rod
We seem to sell a few, so must not be bad!Originally Posted by Zachc24
This isn't a custom rod per se... it's a special edition production out of our shop. Very much a west coast style swimbait rod.
Ill have to check them out.
thanks for all the help everyone
Alpha Angler just came out with their Wide Glide.
The LDC White Label are not a custom. He builds up a bunch then releases them periodically. I don't think ALX will handle 7 oz.
Yea ive been looking through the alx lineup. I did check on the ldc rods though
Misread the OP... the one I listed... up to 4 oz. It's not a 7 oz bait rod. Correct.
Chicago Musky Show this weekend, you will find one there
I ended up getting a megabass swimbait rod. Thanks everyone for the help
