Description

Most anglers need a casting rod that can stay on the deck and cover multiple techniques without compromise. The Buzz 7 fills that role. It handles squarebills cleanly around cover, manages the vibration and pull of small bladed jigs, and still performs well with soft plastics and lighter jig presentations. The balance of casting control and fish-fighting power helps keep fish pinned while giving anglers confidence to fish around rock, grass, and wood.

Buzz 7

Picked up 2 of these during the Labor Day sale as I have been wanting to try ALX rods for some time now after talking with Alex. This is a killer small texas rig, weightless senko/fluke rod. I have it paired up with a Daiwa Tatula TW 80 and this combo weighs less than a pound but make no mistake, this rod has a lot of power for being a medium action rod. I am almost convinced I could flip a 1/2 oz jig into cover with no issues. I also tried a chatterbait, buzzbait, and 2.5 squarebill and this rod handles those baits no problem. Not to mention they were packed incredibly well so ZERO worries about being damaged in shipping. Top that off with amazing customer service! I am 100% pleased with my purchase and will be buying more rods in the future.

Dude, I'm Buzzed.

This is an outstanding squarebill rod. I have caught a LOT of fish on it this year and have a very high landing percentage with it. The rod has a great feel and balance in the hand. It gives me confidence that I can work the bait thru rock, wood, and grass without a lot of hangups or pulling the bait away from the fish on the hookset. I've found it is also great for small light swimjigs and swimbaits 2.8-3.8cm. Very happy with the purchase.

Great rod

I'm using this rod for tubes and chatterbaits, it does great! Sensitive but enough of a backbone to get a solid hook set. I've caught about 10 fish on this rod in the few days I've had it and it will always be sitting on my boat deck. Light and comfortable.

Highly Underrated!

From the second I picked this rod up this past winter after receiving it I knew I had decided on a winner. It’s very lightweight and feels great in the hand. I’ve only had a chance to throw a square bill on it thus far but let me tell you…it’s definitely hands down the best rod I’ve ever thrown one on. Factor in the price of the Ikos series and you have a flat out stud with this rod. Can’t wait to open the playbook with it, once I do I have a feeling I’ll be ordering another one or two of them. Definitely one of my favorite ALX rods thus far.
