2018
The weeknight jackpot, the skinny-water specialist hunting lonely flats, or top touring bass pros like Jason Christie and Mike McClelland-- we all look for the same attributes in our rods. Light weight. Crisp actions. Incredible sensitivity. Plenty of power. These magical qualities only result from a stout mixture of quality craftsmanship and industry-leading innovation. Here at Falcon Rods, we’ve been providing plenty of both for more than a quarter-century. Our Lowrider and Cara lines, built in the USA from our own “in-house” blanks and assembled right here, have raised the standard for quality and innovation in bass fishing season after season. Now, our new “Coastal Clear Water” series does the same for passionate inshore sportfishermen. Upgraded versions of our guidetested-and-designed Coastal series, these new rods feature the increased sensitivity and crisper actions we at Falcon pride ourselves on, coupled with the aluminum and stainless components necessary for chasing big redfish, snook, and specks year after year. Every time we pick one up, Cara ST • 2, 3 Cara T7 • 4 Cara Reaction • 5
we’re reminded that Falcon has always been about putting the best tool for every job in the hands of fishermen everywhere. We’ll never stop innovating for our customers.

Outfitted with Fuji Alconite Concept guides and the lightest most sensitive Falcon blank yet, Cara ST represents a major step forward. Combined with sleek corrosion-resistant S-4 stainless steel frames, Alconite is lighter and 80 percent stronger than aluminum oxide. Diamond polishing makes the inserts smoother, increasing casting distance and preventing grooving even with small-diameter braided line. But the heart of the series remains Falcon’s Americanmade Cara ST Graphite blank, the latest advance in high modulus graphite for the optimal balance of sensitivity and durability..

The latest in guide technology, we use up to 13 Fuji 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.

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. That’s why we strenuously 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

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 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. ®
Casting
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 COASTAL CW ( “Clear Water” ) NEW FOR 2018 Whether chasing bull reds in the canals and sloughs of Venice, LA, casting for trout and snook along the Florida coasts, or stalking shallow flats for spooky redfish, Coastal Clearwater has you covered. Our new Coastal Clear Water rod series aims to offer the same commitment to technology and precision to inshore fishermen that our Lowrider and Cara lines have for bass fishing. These rods feature the increased sensitivity, crisper actions, and greater torsion resistance provided by a proprietary multi-directional carbon fiber. The resulting crisper actions result in increased accuracy and casting distance. Coupled with the 100% Fuji chrome-finish stainless components necessary for the challenges of salt water, this upgraded version of our popular Coastal series will keep you chasing big fish year after year after year.

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!
