Curado K is tough to beat at that price point. I flip/pitch (really just pitch) with the 8.5:1. Thumbs up. 

Dunno about perfect but I got no complaints. 

 

ALX Zolo Dragger 7'4" Heavy/Fast

Lews Tournament MB 8.3

Yellow Hi Vis Power Pro 50 lbs. 

20 lb. Mono leader

 

For lighter weights I use an OG Diawa Tatula Med/Heavy 7'2".  Same reel and line

Dobyns Champion 765 flip

Daiwa Tatula SV 8.1:1

65lb Sufix 832 moss green

Kajun boss tungsten (mostly 1/2 and 3/4oz)

Trokar 4/0 and 5/0 flippin hooks

Angler's Choice flappin weasel or flappin craw, yamamoto fat ika, jackall archelon

 

Love this setup and want to add a 766 for 3/4-1.5oz weights

Was a DX HP 795. Trying to get rid of it now. Too tight of quarters to use it. Currently it's a DX 746

Rod-ALX Enox Arcus

Reel- 8.0:1 Abu MGX

Line-20 lb sunline sniper

Hook-4/0 straight shank HD trokar

Bait- Rage Bug or Gambler Stinger

Weight size will vary, but I stick with Reins or Hawgtech weights. 

 

I been using my fury 735 c with curado k 8.5.1,rage craw,rage bug,rage rooster,magnum u vibe, doing the job getting them out of the thick Florida salad but was thinking something longer.

How does ALX rods compare to Dobyns?
