    What ALX for finesse jigs?

    I have an ALX ZOLO Toadface that I really like. I want a dedicated rod for my favorite jig...a 3/8 oz Keitech Model 1 or 2. I always have one tied on. Which ALX ZOLO would you guys recommend? I mostly fish rocky points, docks and some lay-downs with it.

    Thanks!

    I use the Toadface for 3/8 ounce jigs. I always have a 3/8 or 1/2 jig tied on. Toadface is a great jig rod. Skipping, pitching, or casting.

    I have a Deputy, Toadface, and Dragger. 3/8 is kinda heavy to be called finesse out west. for me I like the 3/8 better on the Toadface, and in the 1/4 range with the deputy

    You guys really like stout rods. I felt my deputy was only suited for 1/2oz and over. I would consider the Dream for 3/8 oz.

    I had the deputy and dream. I really liked both rods and regret selling them. The keitech football jigs have a very light wire hook so i would go with the dream. I feel the deputy is a little stout for that lite of wire hooks unless you set the drag loose
