At ALX Rods, we respect that hard work and dedication create a successful day on the water. We know that cutting corners means lost opportunity. We know that pushing to be different ends up being exceptional with time.
We build shing rods here in the USA – South Carolina to be exact. It’s one way we do what we know is right. We use proprietary rod blanks, source quality components, and assemble them all in our facility to be sold for a fair price.
We want to talk to the people who sh our rods. We’re committed to matching you with the right rods for your needs and technique. There’s a unique value when the rod you order Monday is perfect for the technique you use on Saturday.
We’re proud of what we offer and that our hands are covered in dust and glue. This keeps us in touch with our rods and reminds us constantly how ALX is exceptional because we are different. It’s how we started and how we’ll stay.

The ZOLO Series represents our most ambitious rod development efforts to date. The result is one of most exciting, best reviewed rods on the market today.
Rods are topped off with top quality zero tangle guides by Kigan, trimmed reel seats, and ALX Rods’ distinct, American inuenced styling.
Built using Hydra NG rod blanks, shermen benet immediately from the use of aerospace quality NG Carbon and Scrimless Fiber Design (SFD). The unique SFD technology eliminates energy-robbing, low modulus materials normally used to create axial strength in rods. The ZOLO series blank replaces traditional design with a singular carbon material wound under intense pressure. A multi axis pattern conguration maintains durability. The result is a homogenous carbon composite that wastes very little energy. Rods are tight and responsive. This careful design equates to increased vibration transmission (sensitivity) and rods that sh smoothly all day long.

ALX Rods presents our IKOS Series Rods, designed for tournament angling with an emphasis on outstanding performance and value.
All IKOS rods begin with a low resin content OS carbon Hydra rod blank. Rod blank patterns are laid with consideration to multi axis use and then precision-rolled under intense pressure to create a compact carbon composite that shines at reading the lightest bites and delivering jaw-jarring power.
Rods are matched with specic components to compliment the overall shing package. The IKOS series has been tted with class-leading Z Series guides from Kigan – we know of no other rod in class with this quality of guide. Grips are top grade cork and trim pieces are designed for long life.
IKOS Series rods have been carefully designed, tested and crafted by our in-house team to ensure they meet your expectations for how an ALX Rod should perform. The IKOS Series are serious tools to earn that check on Saturday!

All ALX Rods are eligible for a one time, no questions asked replacement for all registered rods. We know stuff happens - and always at the worst time. This plan is for when the hotel door closes on its own and clips off your rod’s tip or your buddy’s Sasquatch size foot doing the two step on the front deck. We can get your replacement ASAP and get you back shing with a new ALX Rod.
Full details of the SureSet Replacement program are available online at www.alxrods.com in our Service section.
