ENOX Strike Casting Rod

Love these rods

I was looking for a rod that would be used primarily for pitching and flipping around docks and lay downs. This is my favorite style of fishing. I have always used rods in the 200$ range. I wanted to buy a really good rod for this one application. I usually flip 1/4 to 3/8 weights. This rod EXCELLS at this. Even with a 1/4 ounce and a little zoom speed craw, the tip on this rod will sling the bait as far as i would want it to. Now as far as sensitivity goes, I was blown away. I came from the St Croix Victory line. I like the tip on the St Croix rods very much. I like the tip on the Strike even better. I am not sure how to describe sensitivity other than "sharp". Instead of feeling a dull thud on a bite, or a slight heaviness when dragging over rocks, this rod has a very "clean, crisp, sharp, hard" feeling. When using flouro, I could tell the difference between, rock, sand, weeds, very easily. I will slowly be upgrading all of my bottom contact rods to Enox rods. They are just amazing.

I fish 3-4 times a week, and have been fishing since 1985

Called Alex and wanted a recommendation for a pitching rod. I wanted something for 3/8 oz lures and was a little concerned about the 1/2 oz starting weight. Alex made the point about taking the weight of the lure and any trailer weight on a jig into consideration. Havn't been fishing with it yet, but pitched a 3/8 jig around the yard and handles that weight flawlessly. Looking forward to making full use of this rod this year,

Picked up a Strike and it has quickly become my favorite jig rod. Looking to replace my high-end rods from other manufacturers going forward.

Well done ALX team!

I've been looking for the perfect jig rod and this is the one. I have been a loyal Gloomis GLX person for years this rod has changed my mind. It's very lite and sensitive. I was scared when I order it being heavy action (did not want a broom stick), it's perfect and the craftsmanship is what you would expect. I've only caught a couple of fish on it,but it has exceeded my expectations. I do own 5 other ALX rods in the ZOLO series love them too but this ENOX is awesome.
