    Toadface, Brawler and Powerbolt depending on what I'm doing.

    I think the ALX Enox series doesn't get enough credit. The blanks are fantastic, very sensitive, very responsive, light weight, and obviously they are well built. That Strike is a very nice rod indeed.

    Powerbolt or Thunder for bigger weights. Toadface if flipping around something a bit lighter.

    The ZOLO Toadface gets overlooked for pitching. It's just an extremely versatile rod. Toadface and Brawler are #1 and #2 in the ZOLO series. Strike in the ENOX Series is really popular.

    The OXIMs don't get looked at as hard because they are newer - but the Factor is a good pitching rod as well.

    I pretty much always have at least one Toadface on deck. This time a year I pitch a swimjig on one and a frog on the other.

    The Brawler gets a soft plastic for pitchin and the Powerbolt I use for old style flippin. In another six weeks or so the Powerbolt gets a magnum spoon for the rest of the summer.

    I've got a Enox Strike and bmj and a zolo Dragger and to me the Dragger is the best rod out of the bunch for pitching.

    I’ve got an Enox Strike that I purchased off season last winter. Just started tossing it last week and love it. Cashed a check for me in a local club tournament twice in a row. Good sensitivity and will turn their heads in a heartbeat.

    I chucked a jig against a sea wall and was very out of position for a decent hook set when I had a good bite. Got one of my worst hook sets in w while and managed to bring a 3.5 to the boat thanks to the rod.

    Thanks for posting that. Makes us smile to hear people genuinely feel what we make helps them. That's what it's all about.

    Without a doubt. Y’all are making good stuff! Will be adding to my arsenal going forward. Five ALX rods aren’t enough :)

    I like a little more moderate action for pitching so the dragger does it for me. I've found I use it more for things other than dragging because it has such a versatile action. I even throw big topwater on it.

    Used the Factor yesterday. Love the Feel. Love the design. Paired with a Tatula sv. feels great. The Ohio giant 12-14" caused no issues at all! lol. Great freaking rod!
