Anyone ever used one of these rods and have an opinion on them? I'm looking at a used one on a combo with a reel I want.

They don't seem to be in business anymore, that should tell you something.

Challenger Rods was a brand of rods made in China for Farris Brothers, a tackle wholesaler out of Hattisburg Mississippi which they sold to their accounts all over the South.They imported many different models including bass, inshore and offshore rods. The quality of the rods left a lot to be desired. Not sure if they are still being manufactured for them though.
