Falcon Rods

[Bobby Bass]

I have been thinking of adding a Falcon Bucoo Micro Guide Casting Rod to my arsenal. I need to replace the rod that my Quantum PT was on last season as my buddy stepped on the rod and broke the tip. Can't see spending all that money on a reel and use it on a shorten rod, ( My story to the wife) So does anyone have any pros or cons to the Falcon rod's and the new Micro Guides?

You won't be disappointed. I've switched all of my rods over to Falcon Bucoo's from St. Croix Premiers and Falcon Cara's.

They are $100-120 rods but they are very sensitive and light weight.

Been searching for a deal on a Falcon BuCoo Micro rod all winter and I found one on clearance for fifty dollars off. Done deal, it is now hanging in the rod locker and I paired it with a Quantum PT reel. Can't wait to get it wet, unreal how lite the combo is. I was looking for a 6-6 but settled on the 7 footer. They ain't kidding when they call the guides Micro, now we will put it to the test and see if there really is a difference in using the micro guides in casting and feel

Where? Still $129 at Wall Mart

I have three different Walmarts in my area and they do not mark down stuff the same. One store has Vendetta rods marked down from 79 to 64.00 while another has them marked down to 49.00 The Walmart I bought the Falcon from had already marked it down twice but they are not marked down at either of the other stores, go figure. I am keeping an eye on the Vendetta's and if they go to 34 bucks I will buy a couple more of them. I would keep an eye at other stores if they are in your travel area.

In last weeks wally world ad vendetta's were 29.99. picked up 2 of them. didn't need them but for 30 bucks you cant go wron. was just at my local walmart today and they had falcon rods on clearance for $80. my buddy just bought one and it feels like a nice rod. haven't had it on the water yet though.

Still $129 here-DARN.

[clm]

Yeah. I think it is only the apple valley one that has them for sale.

[Hawg]

Seems strange they don't here. I think they have the same ones they got in last summer. This just isn't bass country and anything over $50 doesn't sell well at Wally World. They just got in a big batch of those umbrella rigs, those 5 or 6 hook things, that are not legal here in Minnesota. Go figure.

A follow up to my Falcon rod that I bought and now have used for several months. I love it! Have been using it as my spinnerbait rod and paired it up with a Quantum PT high speed reel. The micro guides make it almost impossible to make a bad cast accuracy wise. A nice set up and come this fall I really throw a lot of spinners so it will get a real work out.
