I've narrowed my chatterbait rod choices down to two options and I wanted to know if you all have had any experience with these rods.

 

The first is the ALX Ikos Hustler.  It is a new proprietary glass blank on a 7' rod (11 midmicro guides) rated up to an ounce.  The blank itself only weights 4.5 ounces which is great for a glass rod.

 

The second?  Daiwa Tatula Elite Brent Ehler 7'4" (10 guides) rated up to 2 ounces.  It is a composite glass rod.

 

I  fish a lot of grass and edges of lily pad fields with 3/8oz chatterbaits.  I figure the Daiwa has more backbone to horse them out of the cover I fish but the Ikos Hustler is made in America, and comes with midmicro guides which in my experience make for better casting.  The Ikos is also slightly cheaper.
