I have the falcon boo coo also and like the carrot stick as much don't know how it will fish yet. Hope it fishes as well as it feels. Should find out this weekend.

So is the Cenderi ti. Falcon ran a closeout special last year on the Cenderi.....$279 rod for $99 + shipping. It has $90 worth of guides on it.

a couple years ago I found a falcon original for $55 unfortunately 3 months ago the tip broke.

Any one buy the Falcon HD, imported rods?

Never heard of 'em. :eek:

Falcon...made in the U.S.A.

13 guides on a 7' rod.

you can find a falcon HD at academy (made in china) $59.99-$69.99

I think at one time Falcon use to get their blanks at one time from Shikari blanks. I built a few rods out of these blanks. They are light and sensitive on bad side didn't take much for them to break.

Right now I buy the cheapest blank I can get my hands on.
Put micro guides on them. Total cost is around $40 to $50.
If blank breaks I just take everything off and put it on another cheap blank.
Get my stuff from Swampland tackle in Houma or when in Houston Fishing tackle unlimited out of Houston
I find the el cheapo blanks work better than a $100 store bought rods.
Got a bad habit of breaking the tips and not worth investing too much money in a rod that I will break.
