Just picked up a 6'6" med-light power, mod-fast action from academy. Anyone have experience with this model? Pros and Cons would be appreciated before i pull the tags off.

Bring it back, buy a Duce, Calcasieu Extreme. ..etc. F*** Academy, never stepping foot in Academy again. Figure I'll save at least $150 a month by not going back.

Brought back a Falcon Bucoo, second time fishing with it and snapped on a redfish hookset. They dont carry the Bucoo anymore so they offered me $.01 in store credit. I didn't have a receipt

I have the 7' and really really like it for jigs. It broke and I was able to exchange it with no receipt at academy.

Thought about pulling the trigger on a Duce couple months ago until the customer service issue surfaced. If I get a custom I'll go with a laguna. Fished with one this spring and could feel a trout fart In the water. I picked up that salinity in academy and did the little rod tip wiggle and liked the way it felt. Ive just never fished with one. Thanks for the feedback fellas.

I noticed academy in Hammond has no falcon rods; just all star and some low end rods.

I have that rod. I use it for topwater. It is extremely light and a 27" red will work you with it. But it's super sensitive and great for tops.
