Who's got an ALX Deputy?

Featured Replies

Those of you who have one would you mind giving me your opinion on them? What other rod out there would you compare them to?

I use mine almost exclusively for spinnerbaits, but It would do much more IMO. It weighs 4.41 oz.

I assume you're referring to the ZOLO "Deputy" rod. I used to have one; sold it last year. During the time I had it, I felt it's a little tip heavy. The power is more like between MH-H, with a fast tip. The sensitivity is good, but not as good as the spinning model "Maestro," which amazed me with its sensitivity. It'd be a great spinnerbait rod, or a heavy jig rod, but it's just a bit too stiff for my finesse jigs.

I woke up to to an email from Alex. I told him what I was looking for. His recommendation was either the Toadface or the BMJ. 

I have one, it's honestly one of my favorite rods. I use it for texas rigs and jigs from 1/4 to 3/8 or 1/2oz, great sensitivity and I find it balances fairly well with my Shimano SLX.
