ALX IKOS Series Casting Rods

Made for tournament angling, the ALX IKOS Series Casting Rods are built with an emphasis on delivering outstanding performance and maximum angler value. Each IKOS Series rod begins with a low resin content OS Carbon Hydra rod blank. From there, each blank pattern is laid with consideration to multi-axis use and then precision rolled under intense pressure. This creates a compact carbon composite blank that shines at reading the lightest bites and delivering jaw-jarring power.

The IKOS rods are also matched to specific components to compliment the overall fishing package. Fitted with class-leading Z Series guides from Kigan, there are no other rods at this price point with such a high quality guide system. The split grip handles are also constructed from top-grade cork and trim pieces to deliver long life and maximum comfort. Carefully designed, tested and crafted by ALX Rods’ in-house team, the ALX IKOS Series Casting Rods are serious tools built for cashing checks on Saturday.
