    That’s about all I use. Have 15+. The ZOLO line is hard to beat, in my opinion.

    Previously used Shimano, Kistlers, tried Phenix Arrious been using ALX for over 3 years very happy with performance. I mainly have the Zolo models, but do own 1 Boku for spybaits, couple Ikos, and the Kelly J jerkbait model. They perform awesome for what they cost, if you have questions you can call and talk to Alex directly.

    the Zolo’s are mid-micro which are perfect, not sure about the other line ups. Their website has all the info on it though.

    I don’t think you will find anything you won’t love about this company or their products. Call Alex the owner and his customer service will get you into a rod and the rod will keep you coming back for more! Let me know if you have any specific questions and I’ll do my best to answer. I will say the Zolo’s are extremely light, crisp, sensitive, balanced, and fish WAY over their price point. Oh yeah they are manufactured and assemble in USA.

    If you are considering one I would reccomend you go ahead and buy it, you wont find a better rod for the money.

    I've owned about every rod builder out there and the rods I've used for the past 3 years have been ALXs. For sensitivity, quality and price they are hard to beat. Come Jan. 11th at the Raleigh Fishing Expo I will own another. The Maestro spinning rod is my next weapon. Also Alex is always on this site to answer any questions you might have. I prefer the Zolo's

    The only thing stopping me from trying their speck 76 is the reel handle. I really prefer a forward foam handle rather than the rear cork. That's just how hold my spinning rods. Do you think they'd build the real seat/handle custom for me?

    Which ones? They have that nice bundle deal on their site for Zolo's and Ikos right now. So far I have the Ikos Hammer7, Ikos Buzz7, and Zolo Toadface. Might get another one soon.

    I really like to build on the Hydra blanks and the Hydra FL4 which is what they use for the Toadface has probably been my favorite blank for the past few years. It is super versatile...pitchin, frogs, swim jigs, boot tail swimbaits, I even use it for buzzbaits...it's also the rod I pick up to skip jigs. If you want to try one, that's the one I'd recommend.
