Comparison of Black Hole USA Challenger Bank Light, Medium, and Medium Heavy Rods

When it comes to inshore fishing, having the right rod can make all the difference. Our popular Black Hole USA Challenger Bank series offers a range of options to suit different fishing styles and preferences. In this blog post, we’ll compare the action of our Light, Medium, and Medium Heavy rods, as demonstrated by our ProStaff John (@sqiudkid142) in the video.

701L & 801L (Light):

The feather-like lightness and thinness of our 701L (7’ Light) and 801L (8’ Light) rods, weighing only 2.5 oz. Despite their lightweight design, these rods are incredibly strong, capable of swinging one gallon of water (8lb). With an extremely sensitive tip for detecting delicate bites and a strong backbone for power, these rods are perfect for catching fluke, snapper, scup, and even striped bass or bluefish.

731M & 801M (Medium):

While there may not be an ultimate togging rod, the Challenger Bank 731M (7’3" Medium) stands out with its sensitive tip and tremendous lifting power. Suitable for blackfish, striped bass, yellowtail, and mutton snapper, this rod can handle any inshore fish. Weighing only 3.8 oz, it has helped land many 10+ lb Togs and 35lb Cod, making it a reliable choice for serious anglers.

761MH & 801MH (Medium Heavy):

For those targeting larger species, the 761MH (7’6" Medium Heavy) and 801MH (8’ Medium Heavy) rods are ideal. These rods are perfect for Deepwater Seabass, Light Yellowtail Jigging, Striped Bass, Bluefish, Red Snapper, Mutton Snapper, and Blackfin. With their robust construction and powerful action, they provide the strength and sensitivity needed for successful deepwater fishing.
