SWMR Dropframe - 7'11", 1 - 5oz, Heavy (Swimbait)

The ALX Rods SWMR Dropframe is built for anglers throwing bigger swimbaits where power, balance, and hook control are critical. Optimized for 3–5 oz swimbaits, but effectively casting 1–3 oz baits, the Dropframe is tuned for the large single-hook soft bodies and heavy hard baits trophy hunters rely on.

At 7’11” with a Heavy swimbait rating and ModFast action, the Dropframe offers the backbone to drive home big hooks while keeping fish pinned on trebles. Whether you’re slow-rolling a big soft bait or working a large swimmer, the rod loads smoothly on long, accurate casts and delivers enough forgiveness to keep giants buttoned up.

Backed by years of rod-building for tournament anglers, ALX Rods brings precision engineering into the swimbait world. The Dropframe features a full-sized guide train (10 + tip) that’s leader-knot friendly, a double foot loop hookkeeper for exposed hooks, and a 15.5" handle designed for casting comfort and leverage. Every detail is dialed for big bait anglers who won’t settle for repurposed heavy rods.

Every Dropframe is designed and assembled in the USA and covered by the ALX Rods warranty. Built with premium carbon blanks and proven components, this is a swimbait rod you can trust season after season when targeting true trophy-class bass.
