John Beckwith at Falcon Lake, 1990
Oklahoma,
Falcon founder John Beckwith
asked, “What if the angler could have rods
with different rod actions for many
different tasks?“
Did somebody say “Falcon?” “What if” turned to action. In 1990, armed with a fresh set of rods – better balance, better components, better actions – he took prototypes down to one of his favorite fishing spots, Lake Falcon in South Texas. These rods had specific actions to do specific fishing tasks like fishing thick grass with plastic worms, casting and retrieving crankbaits, and putting the right action on walk-the-dog lures. “We caught fish, and on the way back home from Lake Falcon we knew we had a good rod, and we also knew the name.” In 1991 John went to the Tulsa Boat Show and showed anglers his new rod -- the Falcon Original Series. In succeeding years, Falcon unveiled models for Carolina-Rig fishing, for jigging in heavy cover, for shakey head presentations, spinnerbaiting, crankbaiting, finesse jigging, worm fishing and much more. These were rods with a purpose. “Early on we knew that if a customer broke a Falcon rod it would be tough to restore that angler’s confidence in the brand,” he said. “That’s why we required – and we still require – that every Falcon undergo a rigid flex test and final inspection.” Now 20 years later that’s still the Falcon policy. We’re still focused on making custom quality rods with more guides, lighter weight, better balance and, always, with specific actions for specific tasks.”
Tournament Trail Success “We are proud to say that Falcon has performed at the highest level in major competition. Falcon has won the Bass Master’s Classic, BASS, and FLW Angler-of-the-year titles, state championships and redfish tournaments, too. Fishermen in Brazil’s Amazon regard Falcon as the toughest rod in the jungle.” From time to time John reminded his colleagues, you know, we can do more than rods. In 2003 Falcon introduced the FTO tackle storage system to organize buzzbaits, spinnerbaits, crankbaits, lipped lures, plus hooks and sinkers. Then, in 2010, Falcon entered the fishing reel business, unveiling two new supersmooth spinning reels, Volt and Moxie. John sums it up: “Everybody at Falcon remains dedicated to the goal of making sure Falcon anglers have the best tools to win their next tournament whether it’s a national event, a local event, or just me and my fishing buddy having a good day on the water.”
When your what-if turns to action, know this: Falcon is your partner.
