The Dobyns Champion Extreme HP is a premium 7'4" heavy-power casting rod built for flipping and pitching heavy cover. It pairs a Toray high-modulus graphite blank with Kevlar reinforcement, Fuji guides and a painted Fuji graphite reel seat, and it is finished with a full AAA-grade Portugal cork handle. That puts it in the top tier of bass rods, above Dobyns' own Champion XP line in sensitivity and hardware. It suits serious bass anglers who flip jigs and punch mats and want a light, crisp rod, but it costs more than most graphite rods and the full cork handle is a taste some anglers don't share.

Owners of the Champion Extreme HP line praise its sensitivity and light weight for a heavy-power rod, and many say the Fuji components and cork hold up over seasons. Criticism centers on the price and on the full cork handle, which some find bulky compared with split-grip designs.
