Jeremy,
I got Alex to build me a skipping rod. I've got a few from different manufactures and this rod is the real deal. I compare everyone I have against the others. This rod glides my jig across the water effortlessly. I always wanted to thank you for steering me in his direction. Every rod I've ordered from him has been spot on.
Alex if you wrap a Promise 3 or a Zolo for that matter with the wynn grip material are you just wrapping over your standard grip material?Originally Posted by cidgrad
No. We would build using the true polymer grip.
An overwrap you can do at home yourself.
Is it safe assume that a factory done would be about the same diameter as a standard grip?
Winn grips are completely different grip designs than our standard ALX cork/eva grips. Most of the Winns seems to be a smaller diameter as they have more taper.
How much extra would the Winn grips be, roughly?
Due to the different grips available, the price can vary. It's best to contact us direct so we can give you an exact quote. 866-628-5052 x1 M/F 8 - 530PM EST - or send me a PM or send us an email to contact @ alxrods.com and we'll get you the options and correct quotes. Thanks!!!
Curious what blank (or what it is closest to in the ALX line) he went with to build a skipping specific rod. I have a few rods that work well for skipping but feel maybe there is room for improvement.

I'd stay tuned for great things coming around the Classic...
Ill be looking for a spinning rod too about that time.

Alex you mentioned some new rods around the Classic, any news on them? Also is it possible to order a Maestro with the same handle that is on the Boku line (not a fan of split grips)?
Yes, we can do any type of grip on a custom build. Full cork is easy to do.
We rolled out the ZOLO Skipper... and completely sold out between online orders and the first morning of the Classic Expo. We are building more now!
The Skipper was introduced around the time of the Classic.
What is the difference between the Zolo Twitch and the Expert Kelly Jade rods other than the $30.00? Looking to use for walkin baits.
I have both, the twitch seems to have a lil softer tip, the Kelly Jaye is lil more power in the tip and the handle is shorter so when your working a bait the butt doesnt catch your clothes.
Twitch is going to excel at smaller jerks and poppers. KJ Jerkbait is size 110s and up.
The KJ Jerkbait uses a little different material in it and it costs a little more to produce as a result.
Looking for a rod that can handle large pike and saltwater redfish while throwing larger soft plastics but has to be 7’ so I can fit it in a rod tube. Any suggestions?
What’s the Mcsmalls zolo that I’m seeing teased?
How big of pike are we talking?
What size reds?
