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.

Perfect Shakeyhead Rod

I am VERY particular about my shakeyhead rods and I have tried just about everything that is available off the shelf as well a a few custom builds and I was still seeking something better. I called Alex and explained to him what I was looking for in a shakeyhead rod and he recommended the Maestro. I've been fishing with the Maestro for about 3 months now and I must admit that it is absolutely perfect! I sometimes drop down to a 3/32 ounce head for fishing riprap and the Maestro has no problem accurately placing the light bait. I know of at least 3 people who have fished with me as co-anglers/practice partners who have purchased a Maestro after trying one of mine. If you are looking for a shakeyhead rod to handle 3/32 to 1/4 ounce baits, I can unequivocally recommend the Maestro without any hesitation!
