A peacock bass is like a black bass. Times ten.
Just ask our number one field tester, the guy who started this enterprise, John Beckwith. If a rod is going to fail, he says, a peacock bass will make it fail. John recently returned from a peacock bass expedition where he tested some new Falcon rods (new peacock bass rods for 2013, by the way…and they passed with flying colors). John reminded us that when you’re peacock bass fishing 2,000 miles from the nearest tackle shop you must trust your equipment. John’s amazing peacock bass adventures have prompted us to put the Amazon River on our list of special places that remind us of very-important things…like earning your trust year after year after year. That’s why we severely flex test and inspect every rod. Every single Falcon rod gets the Falcon Trust Test, not just the ones designed for peacock bass fishing. Falcon Lake in South Texas is another on our list of special places. That’s where, in 1990, we tested the first Falcon rods, graphite prototypes with specific actions for critical jobs like fishing thick grass or walking the dog. It was a big bass day for us and the new designs. We named the company for that lake to remember the day in company history and to remind us that our special assignment is helping you win. Since then Falcon special assignment rods have won fishing tournaments all over the USA, too many special places to mention. Just know that our roots are in professional bass tournaments. Pro bass anglers are always looking for a competitive edge. When our pros tell us they need a rod with a specific action for a specific technique, we design that rod, we give them that edge. We test it. Then we give you that edge.
You’ll see what we mean when you check out the following pages and note tournament-ready rods like Lizard Dragger II, Cranker, Shaky Head Jig Special, Herm Spin. Be sure to check out the expanded line of very affordable BuCoo and BuCoo Micro models, superlight split-grips with names like Finesse Jig, Shoal Spin, Trap Caster, and Open Hook.
LowRider Salts This year Falcon unveils a new line of rods on special saltwater assignment -- LowRider Salts -- designed for redfish-cobiatrout-snook-bonefish-tarpon anglers. LowRider Salts include signature rods designed and tested by Florida inshore fishing guru C.A. Richardson, host of Flats Class TV, as well as those new peacock bass rods that John trust-tested in the Amazon. Okay. You may not be headed to the Amazon, but know that your Falcon rod has been Falcon Trust Tested and is ready to catch fish, fresh or salt, 2,000 or 20 miles away.
Now, go fishing. Take us with you.
Inspired by bass tournament professionals, Cara rods are individually designed to solve the technical requirements of properly presenting lures in a variety of demanding situations.

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 1000 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.

Peacock Special MH M 8 30-60 lb 1 to 3 oz 5’7” 8” A medium-heavy action in the shorter length preferred by Brazilians, this Cara is a perfect match for Azuls or Butterfly Peacocks. Peacock Special H F 8 30-60 lb 1 to 4 oz 5’7” 8” On our trip last October we were very surprised how well this super light weight rod casts our new Braza 1/2 oz. jig or a 5” prop bait. The shorter length is preferred in Brazil and makes it easy to work top water lures. Peacock Special XH MF 9 30-60 lb 1 to 4 oz 6’ 3” 8 3/4” A stout XH rod, most anglers will find the length comfortable for ripping prop baits. Peacock Special XH MF 9 30-60 lb 1 to 4 oz 6’ 6” 8 3/4” This rod is almost identical to the 8-163 with slightly more tip action to cast jerk baits. It still does a nice job on big prop baits too. Peacock Special XH F 9 30-60 lb 1 to 4 oz 6’ 9” 9 3/4” When we first went to Brazil 10 years ago this longer rod was the preferred choice. The middle part of the Rio Negro river near Barcelos has many sand bars so this longer rod was perfect for making big long casts to the down river sand bar points.

INTRODUCING
AN ALL-NEW SERIES OF RODS
F R O M FA LC O N
With over ten 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.
LowRider Salt features Fuji chrome finish stainless steel guides for resisting corrosion in harsh saltwater conditions.

“Inshore anglers will definitely agree...
a must for serious artificial lure enthusiasts.” - C.A. Richardson
“I’m excited about the launch of Falcon Rod’s new “LowRider Salt Series”. 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 new “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 new “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 new 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

Wade M M 8 8-17 lb. 1/4 - 1/2 oz. 6’6” The wade special also makes a good kayak rod. Flats M M 9 8-17 lb. 1/4 - 1/2 oz. 6’8” Input from Port O’Connor fisherman made this the go to rod for specks. Topwater L F 9 8-15 lb. 3/16 - 1/2 oz. 6’9” Take this one the next time you fish a topwater or walk the dog. Popper M M 10 8-17 lb. 1/4 - 1/2 oz. 7’ This is the favorite rod for shrimp tails and quarter ounce heads. Reds Caster MH MF 10 12-20 lb. 1/4 - 3/4 oz. 7’ Venice captains catch 30-40 lb. reds on this rod day in and day out. Gulf Caster M M 10 10-20 lb. 1/4 - 3/4 oz. 7’6” This longer rod loads great for long casting spoons and the parabolic action is a real advantage when you are fighting fish. Outtasight M M 10 10-20 lb. 1/4 - 3/4 oz. 8’ Requested by our friends in Corpus Christi. When the wind is really blowing, take this rod.

Wade M M 8 8-12 lb. 1/4 - 1/2 oz. 6’ 6” Like the casting, this LowRider is perfect for a kayak or wading. All-’round MH MF 8 12-20 lb. 1/4 - 5/8 oz. 6’ 6” A faster tip and stouter butt allow you to really lean on your catch. Bull Red Spin H M 9 15-25 lb. 3/8 - 1 oz. 7’ Plenty of backbone, this LowRider also has a tip section soft enough to cast mirrolures. Popper M M 9 10-17 lb. 1/4 - 1/2 oz. 7’ This is one of our most popular actions. The parabolic action loads and cast lures with ease and the forgiving blank design makes landing fish a reality. Reds Spin MH MF 9 12-20 lb. 1/4 - 3/4 oz. 7’ This rod loads up just right for popping corks and shrimp tails, but has the backbone to fight 30-40 lb. redfish. “Flats Class” L M 10 8-17 lb. 3/16 to 1/2 oz. 7’ 6” C.A. Richardson loves the slower precise action of this LowRider. The parabolic action allows you to load the entire blank, giving greater casting distance which is huge advantage in clear water. “Flats Class” M MF 10 10-17 lb. 1/4 to 1/2 oz. 7’ 6” This medium provides more backbone but still has the slower parabolic action, making it a better fit for heavier baits like larger spoons. Reds Spin MH M 10 12-20 lb. 1/4 - 3/4 oz. 7’ 6” A quicker taper, this LowRider can turn the heads of snook or bull reds. Outtasight M M 10 10-20 lb. 1/4 - 3/4 oz. 8’ We designed this LowRider with the length and action to make the longests casts possible. Tarpon XH F 11 15-40 lb. 1-3 oz. 8’ We built this rod with the length and action to cast unwieldy rigs and the backbone to handle tarpon, the king of inshore sport fish.
