ZOLO Rumble - 7'1", Glass Heavy, Fast Casting Rod
$259.99
The ZOLO Rumble has been in development since January of 2019! Specifically designed for bladed jigs, the ZOLO Rumble is a phenomenal single hook, moving baitcasting rod for bass fishing. The made is USA rod blank features a 125gsm carbon fiber backbone material and state of the art fiberglass top section. The benefit of this blended design is a flexible tip that casts a wide variety of bait sizes, allows the bait to work correctly, and provides a steady load once the fish inhales your bait. The carbon base gives the backbone that you need for setting heavy wire, single jig hooks.
Sensitivity is outstanding and the rod balances 1" in front of the reel seat with a 7 oz reel. The rod blank has a natural, unsanded finish and styling is slightly different than the rest of the ZOLO line due to available components on the initial offering.

Awesome Chatterbait Stick
I had one Zolo Rumble that when paired with a chatterbait would catch bass in good numbers. I just purchased two more so that I can be ready to quickly throw different colors. This rod pairs so well with a chatterbait. My next purchase will be some more Enox rods. The rods shipped very well packaged and quite expeditiously, too.

Grass & Trap ![User picture]()

Really put this rod to work this weekend. 3 days of grass and flooded willows with a LV and TN. Swap your hooks on those baits and tie them onto this rod. You will be able to fish your traps in the grass more efficiently and winch them in. This past weekend I threw braid to 20lb and straight braid. Either setup allowed me to winch in 5lbers without ripping the trebles out.

New Favorite Chatterbait Rod
I came across ALX rods originally because a close friend of mine was on the pro-staff. I've been unhappy with the handful of rods I've tried throwing a Jackhammer on over the years, and decided to buy a rod specifically built for the bait because I throw it so often. I went with the Rumble, and could not be happier. It handles the bait perfect. Enough tip to feel the blades and enough backbone so you don't feel underpowered, which is easy to do with chatterbaits.

Excellent Chatterbait Rod
I fished this rod for the first time last week throwing Jack Hammers. I caught several nice 3-4 lb. bass. I do recommend the Rumble as a Chatterbait rod. I ordered over the phone from Alex on a Thursday and received the rod on a Friday, the very next day! Thanks Alex.

Not in love with it.
Let me say I have probably 7-8 other Alx rods from, Ikos, Zolo, and higher end one. I fished the Rumble yesterday and I was not that happy. It was a pretty heavy rod compared with some others I have. The thing I really didn't like was how stifff it was at the handle. Cork usually has a little give and this was hard. I also thought with the glass tip, the rod would load up a lot more.
Hi Chris! Thanks for the review Sorry to hear you weren't thrilled, but hopefully after a few more trips you will come to appreciate how unique the Rumble is. The cork grip same as used on all our ZOLO and ENOX models. This is a very high quality cork that should be very firm and not give when gripped. As you noted, the Rumble is heavier than other ZOLOs because of the partial glass construction. The total weight is around 5oz - which is more than most of our carbon fiber (aka graphite) rods. The Rumble is specifically designed to have a lot of power at the butt with a lighter tip so it loads when a fish hits but with ample power to set a single, heavy jig hook on moving baits like vibrating jigs, spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, etc. It will not load deep like a glass crankbait rod does. Thanks again for your honest review!
