My brother has an Alphas ito and he loves it. It does a pretty good job with finesse lures but not as good as the Pixy or Presso. How light of lure are you trying to go? My bro's Presso can throw 1/16 - 1/4 oz. My Pixy can throw 1/8 to 3/8. The drag is better on the Pixy. If you want to check them out let me know we can hook up for some fishing and you can try it out. Yiasou.
