let me have one to try out. I like the AR H3's. How similar/different are they. I can swing by and pick it up. I drive thru richmond everyday to get to work and go home.

Default Falcon Rods

I'll cast my vote for Falcon Coastal and Low Rider rods. I've got a Low Rider "Weightless Worm rod" that is the finest topwater and flounder rod I've ever used. I like the Calcasieu Special and Big Lake Special's for fishing plactics. Go with Falcon.

I dont know about yall but I dont have good luck with Falcon rods. They are nice and all but I had gotten one a few years back and it broke in no time. Thank god I had an academy reciept, because I am on my 5th one in about three years, and it is not from overabuse or misuse. I started getting American Rodsmith Rods and they have a nice soft tip with a solid backbone. By far the strongest rod I have ever used. Not as light as the Waterloo, but a good rod. I like the Troutmaster Lite... medium light action. Bit I also looked at a Castaway Skeleton the other day at Chags and it was an awesome rod. Very very nice. Super light.

i've had good luck with falcon over the years, broke some but it was usually my fault, and lake charles tackle used to have an awesome replacement policy. they eventually got too picky and i tried out shimano rods for a while...



i picked up a cenderi ti to try it out, it's not as light as the 'loo tho...

the skeletons are......

can't wait to see this new falcon, even tho salty claims it won't be as good.....

i also use a falcon cara t7 medium, but the fav. rod of mine is the st. croix tourney legend "teaser" 7ft med. a bit pricey but very sensitive and it has the split cork grip. i really did like my cenderi until ponchatrain swallowed it with a curado, but the cenderi is only 100 bones right now

i still rock the round abu garcias on the all star rods. ive caught my biggest fish on all stars. ive switched to mostly castaways and have one falcon t7 but i havent had much luck. seems like every time i upgrade in gear i catch less quality fish. maybe ill go back to the 33 classic and start tearing them up.

Default falcon and custom

I bought a falcon coastal and it broke on the first descent trout I hooked with it. I had a friend of mine build me a 7.5 foot custom with a st. croix blank and love it. It is very light, extremely sensitive, well balanced, and it is still in one piece after a year. He is currently building me a rod with micro guides spiral wrapped that is going to be the bomb. I fished with one similar to it last month and it is amazing how sensitive and how well this rod casts. P.M. me if you want to contact him.

ST. croix was $170 if I remember correctly. The mirco spiral should be around $200 maybe a little more. It really depends on the type of blank and the guides. I'll call him and find out.
