Best Packaging I’ve Ever Experienced

I received my Maestro today. Can’t wait to use it. The rod arrived with the best packaging I’ve ever seen. It came in a rigid tube. Wrapped in plastic and paper. My rod sleeve that I purchased with it was used to protect the guides. With this much attention to detail ensuring that it arrived to me safely, I can only imagine the attention to detail used in building the Zolo Maestro. To say I am now a ALX fan would be an understatement. I will fish with this rod this weekend and save up for a casting rod….from ALX! Thank you.

Best finesse rod

The Maestro is the best dropshot, ned rig, shakey head, and blade bait rod that I have ever found. It is super light, sensitive, and powerful. I have 2 and they are rigged at all times. ALX Zolo rods are the bomb. I have about a dozen and will certainly add more.

Un-Believable!!

Finally had a chance to try out my Maestro Rod and could not believe the difference in sensitivity and action from most of my other average cost rods. It had me over-reacting to almost anything and everything till I got used to it. This is my go-to inshore rod from here on out!!

An awesome finesse rod

This was my first of five rods I’ve purchased from ALX now as I’m slowly converting from G Loomis to ALX. This is a perfect rod for Wacky, Ned rig, or any other finesse application where you need the utmost sensitivity, but yet have a rod with a backbone to get him out of the nasty areas they like to hangout in. If you’re wanting a rod built as good, if not better than the premium rods and at a fair price range it would behoove you to give ALX a try.
