I've never owned a Falcon. I've heard good things about them though. I started perusing their site and see that they've changed the look of a couple of models (Expert, Cara), and added a new model - to compete with the Mojo, no doubt. May have to start giving this brand a try.
New model...
Bucoo
Their "Trade Up" program seems pretty cool. Seems like a nice deal for some folks that already have some older, aging rods they are looking to replace...
Trade Up Program
those new experts look awesome.
I've been on the edge of pulling the trigger on a LowRider Falcon rod. I might just have to now, because all of the stuff I have heard about Falcon rods has been good.
That Bucoo is one sexy rod. I've got two Falcons, a Cara and a Lowrider, and I really like them both, especially the Cara. Very sensitive.
that rod is sweet!! , i love split EVA grips ( i have a Carrotstick) . the swimbait rod im having made is designed after the Cara split- grip stick , but with EVA grips and Fuji ACS reel seat
That Bucco is one wicked looking stick. And if you're saying its around the price point of a mojo, I think its going to give it some pretty stiff competition.

Agreed!
does anyone know when the bucco's release date is?
texasbasstackle.com has them NOW.
they go for around a hundred bucks.....QuoteThat Bucco is one wicked looking stick. And if you're saying its around the price point of a mojo, I think its going to give it some pretty stiff competition.
I have 3 lowriders and a cara, these rods are great, made in the US, and are relatively low cost for the guys who can't afford loomis and high end st. croix's. And the bucoos look sexy. I'm already saving up for a couple.
Falcon makes a very good rod.
QuoteFalcon makes a very good rod.
I agree, if I wasn't fishing All STars I'd fish Falcons.
Falcon is also made in the USA!
QuoteHmmm, Falcon gets it. St Croix gets it. All-Star gets it. Shimano gets it. Daiwa gets it. Quantum gets it.So when the * is Loomis gonna emerge from the 17th century?
It ain't about looks but performance.
Yes they are!!! believe it or not a lot of rods are made in the U.S. I know of some companies that have china make some of the dept store rods(Allstar classic at academy) But Allstar makes some topnotch rods. Castaway does the same thing, only SOME are made in china.QuoteFalcon is also made in the USA!

The two are not independent.
In my opinion, the Falcon Cara's are a little under priced. They are definitely the best rods you can buy in that price range. If I had an itch to switch rods, I'd probably go all Cara's. Lots of bang for your buck.
I live in Broken Arrow where falcon is based. I went into their store and because of the discount i got from working at academy I ended getting a cara for 95 bucks and an original for 45. cant wait to try em out!
I just held one of these bucoo rods, the other day. And now Im looking to buy one. THESE THINGS ARE SWEEEEEEET!

got my bucoo 6'10" MH from tw today! sweet rod.. looks and feels awesome.. very light.. great quality
Good to hear... Anyone know if BPS, Dick's, or Gander will be carrying these? :-?
Just recieved my 7' H baitcasting Bucoo, and I must say this rod is sweet. Its very light. Now I just have to figure out what reel Im going to be placing on it. Cant wait to field test it.
IMO, the Cara T7 line is by far the best Falcon made yet! They are extremely light, extremely sensitive and i get them for $15o shipped! 8-)
