This year we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the LowRider rod series. The first low profile guide system transformed high performance bass fishing. More guides, closer to blank, increased casting performance and sensitivity. Introduced in 1995, LowRider prototypes were used to win the Bass Master Classic that year. This year we build on our tradition of innovation.

LowRiders receive a major update. Dubbed the LowRider 20, these rods have new weight saving, ergonomic grips, a new even lighter guide system, and a crisp new look.

We are introducing a new aerospace grade carbon material and resin system in select Cara models, “Cara ST.”

The higher modulus, higher tensile material results in a blank that is lighter, stronger and more responsive.

Falcon LowRider-first released in 1995 and changed fishing with the LowRider guide system. LowRider 20 takes the next step in proven performance.

Lighter. Longer Casts. MoreSensitive. More Accurate.

Bassmaster Elite Professional, Cliff Crochet | Pierre Part, LA The year was 1995. Falcon introduced the “LowRider” series of rods and marked a major change in the design of fishing rods. Founder John Beckwith recalls, “I had heard that competitive long-distance casters were using little, tiny, single-foot guides instead of the big double-footed guides that were the industry standard at that time. This made sense to me. The smaller guides tamed the line coming off the reel and really reduced line slap and friction all the way up the length of the rod. So, longer casts.” Falcon Rods pioneered a new fishing rod design quite different from what other companies had been doing year after year.

This new rod looked different. It had more guides than other rods of the same length. Also, the guides had only one foot attached to the blank, not two, and they were only about half the size of guides on other rods. These guides were much closer to the blank then their predecessors.

This was the first Falcon “LowRider” rod.

LowRider guide system the system that changed fishing

Spinning

But Beckwith recognized another big advantage. Because the fishing line would ride closer to the blanks the angler would have more “feel.” The angler would detect more fish strikes, feel the lure swimming through the water column, feel it bumping against structure, touching the bottom, or moving through vegetation.

They were noticeably lighter, too. Tournament anglers gained a competitive edge. As the word spread, Falcon introduced new, task-specific models and later introduced LowRider Salts so saltwater anglers also could have more casting distance and sensitivity.

The new “LowRider 20” celebrates the 20 year anniversary of the first LowRider with new features and look.

The Cara T7s represent a major step forward, outfitted with streamlined, anti-grooving Fuji Alconite Concept guides. Sleeker, lighter, corrosion-resistant S-4 stainless steel frames hold rings made with a new generation of Alconite ceramic that is lighter and 80 percent stronger than aluminum oxide. A diamond polishing process makes the guide inserts smoother, increasing casting distance and preventing grooving with small-diameter, low-stretch braided line. Falcon applies a thicker flex coat to protect the guide wraps from damaging rays from the sun.

The Cara T7 series supersede previous Cara casting, Cara spinning and Cara Reaction models, but the heart of the new series remains Falcon’s American-made Cara T7 Graphite blank, a proprietary weave of high modulus graphite praised for its balance of sensitivity and durability.

Peacock Rod

A Largemouth Times Ten. Peacock bass fishing may be the ultimate test of a fishing rod - heavy braided line, thick under water brush, and perhaps the meanest, strongest fish pound for pound. When you are 2000 miles from the nearest tackle shop, equipment failure is not an option. Falcon has developed a reputation as the only serious choice for Peacock bass. We bring this expertise to the entire line.

Flats Class has had a hand in working with the rod designers and ownership at Falcon Rods to incorporate the highly regarded LowRider blank into a true salt water angling tool. The “LowRider Salt” has Fuji chrome finish stainless steel guides for improved corrosion resistance and the same LowRider guide concept that gives anglers increased casting distance and sensitivity. The “LowRider Salt” will also have more true saltwater specific actions and natural cork handles that are preferred by discriminating inshore anglers... plus they are all made right here in the USA! The entire “LowRider Salt” series has specific models that will cover every scenario and species for inshore enthusiasts, including a fantastic beach tarpon spinning rod and the new “Flats Class”models designed to cast artificial baits to trout and redfish on the shallow flats!

In my opinion, Falcon has hit a home run with this series, and most inshore anglers will definitely agree the “LowRider Salt” is going to be a must for serious artificial lure enthusiasts!” - Capt. C.A. Richardson With over twelve years of pro-level tour experience, Capt. C.A. Richardson of St. Petersburg, Florida, has a passion for teaching the finer points of inshore fishing. Richardson not only teaches anglers on a one-on-one basis, but also regularly shares tips on the Flats Class TV show and at speaking engagements throughout the Gulf Coast.
