Over the past year, I have been fishing with Challenger's TGX and Original Series rods with all of my clients and in my tournaments. Throughout the years, I have fished with All Star, and Shimmano rods, but never have I had the confidence that I now do in Challenger rods. For the first time in my fishing career, I can pick up any rod, from a 6'8" med. heavy jig rod or a 7' med. cranking rod, and know I am going to get everything out of that rod that I need to catch more fish. When I throw a DD22 with my 7' cranking rod, I can cast that lure as far as I want (which is a good 25 yards) and reel it all the way in without strain on my arms or wrists. It feels like I am reeling in a little bandit 200 series. Before I used Challenger's rods, it was discouraging fishing with deep crankbaits because it felt like I was reeling in a fish everytime...it was so heavy, straining my wrist and arms after 10 minutes. Another rod that has increased the amount of fish I put in the boat is Challenger's 7' med. heavy shaky head. It has a fast tip with a strong backbone, which is useful for pulling fish out of 15'ft-20'ft of water. But the highlight of this rod is its sensitivity. I can throw a 1/8oz. shaky head jig and feel every rock, and crater on the bottom. This gives me more confidence and awareness of when a fish is playing with my bait. The last rod that I have been honored to use, is Challenger's 6'8" med. heavy fast tip worm rod, I use this rod for my jigs. Last week in the Bassmaster Weekend Series, I finish 9th, fishing a jig with this rod ALL DAY (9.5hrs). I probably caught 50 bass and had 5 keepers, for 11.07 lbs. One of the key elements for that day was the TGX worm rod I used. The rod is super light, so you can fish it all day without tiring your forearm. Also, I could feel every bite! I could distinctively feel a fish pick the jig up for a second, and let it go, something I have never confidently been able to admit.
Challenger has two different models of rods, the TGX Series and the Original Series. Both are inexpensive for the everyday angler to purchase. The Original Series rods are $60-$85 and the TGX Series rods are $90 - $120. You can research all of Challenger's rods at www.challengertackle.com. I highly recommend these rods and encourage you to check them out. If you have any questions about performance, price, etc. do not hesitate to drop me a line.
