With the introduction of the LowRider® series twenty years ago, Falcon pioneered the use of low-profile single-footed guides to improve casting performance. The new BuCoo® SR is the latest continuation of LowRider® technology. Genuine Fuji guides are placed for the best possible casting performance. Sensitivity is further enhanced by the use of a Fuji exposed blank reel seat.

Blank technology takes another step forward. Each BuCoo SR uses multi-directional carbon fiber material with Falcon’s “Cobra-Cloth”™ reinforcement. The result is a rod that is stronger, lighter, and more sensitive.

FALCON CAR A S T G R APH I T E B L AN K | 1 0 0 % F U JI A LCO NI T E G U I D E S | F U JI E XP O S E D B LA NK R E E L S E AT
T h e Ca ra ST uses a s pecia l res in s yste m t h at m a kes t h e lig htest fastest b l a n k possi b l e.
Cara represent a major step forward, outfitted with streamlined, anti-grooving Fuji Alconite Concept guides. The sleeker, lighter, corrosionresistant S-4 stainless steel frames hold rings made with the latest 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 heart of the 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. The latest in guide technology, we use up to 13 Fuji micro guides with low friction, light weight, Alconite rings for increased casting distance and lighter weight. Combined with our Cara ST graphite blank, it makes for the lightest, most sensitive rod possible.

A Largemouth Times Ten. Peacock Bass
Peacock Bass fishing may be the ultimate test of a fishing rod - heavy braided line, thick underwater 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.

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’s amazing Peacock Bass adventures have prompted us to put the Amazon River on our list of special places that remind us of important things…like earning your trust year after year after year. That’s why we strenuosly flex test and inspect every rod. Every single Falcon rod gets the Falcon Trust Test , not just the ones designed for Peacock Bass fishing. Braza® Ripper, Jig

Flats Class has had a hand in working with Falcon Rods to incorporate the highly regarded LowRider blank into a true saltwater 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!
