Black hole challenger rods for fluke/seabass/tog

Thanks Gerry. Think will get the 701L and 731M both paired with a valiant 300 which at 9.8 oz is a powerhouse with twin drag and 24# at strike. My 8 yr old demanded one too so he will get the medium lol

I did a lot of research and feel these rods are perfect for how I fish.

Gerrys specs on those rods is pretty accurate , maybe he asked Joey lol.

That being said , IMO many of the new low profile reels are a much better match to those rods for the type of fishing you listed .
Thumb bar payout is simple even using one hand , and many have between 24 and 30 pounds of drag .

When I use those rods they are paired to Revo NACL 50 , or the Penn 300 LP.

That's some funny stuff right there

And I too think these rods match up better with the lighter and low profile reels too... Much better sensitivity with a lighter combo, the lower the profile of the reel the better it balances from left to right etc..
