SWMR Driftzone - 7'11", 1/2 - 1.75 oz, Medium (Swimbait)

The ALX Rods SWMR Driftzone is designed for anglers who want complete control over lighter swimbaits. With a .5–1.75 oz lure rating and a Medium (Swimbait) power rating, it’s tuned for small treble-hook baits, compact and mid-sized glides, soft swimbaits, and big paddletails The Driftzone is one of the most versatile rods in the SWMR line up, with cross technique application uses as well. 

The Driftzone isn’t just another “light” swimbait rod. Its balance and taper make it surprisingly versatile, handling magnum topwaters, Alabama rigs, and even grass punching when conditions demand it. It loads deep for smooth, accurate casts with lighter baits and protects trebles through the fight, giving anglers confidence with every swing. It’s the rod you’ll reach for when finesse and precision are the keys to unlocking big bites.

Engineered with ALX’s proven rod-building pedigree, the Driftzone features a 7’11” length, ModFast action, full-sized 10 + tip guide train (leader-knot friendly), and a 15.5" ergonomic handle for casting comfort and leverage. Every element is refined for swimbait anglers who demand more than a repurposed medium-heavy.

Like all ALX rods, the Driftzone is assembled in the USA, backed by our warranty, and built with premium carbon blanks and components. It’s designed to deliver season after season for serious anglers who want reliability and performance in a lighter swimbait package.
