Question For Bill From Seminar

[Wayne SW/MO]

Bill my son was wondering what you thought of the Cuarado, 100D I belive, you had on the new Falcon? I was wondering what you thought of the Bou Coup (/ sp)? I'm a Falcon lover, so my question is really in comparison to the Low Rider or Original.

Wayne, I am a Falcon man. I have loved these rods for years. Here is the Skinny, you get what you pay for. Falcon is really trying hard with the BC to reach a price market. The Rod at the simenar was a $99.00 Rod.

It would not be as good as either the Origional or not even near the Lowrider. It and the Cara are worlds apart. The rod has a decent tip, but for me it is just a little to spongy in the mid-section. Probably a very good crankbait rod.

Probably one of the best Stickbait rods I have used is a Lowrider, floating worm special, it is a med 6footer that is very lively on the tip and being a medium action, handles fish without putting huge prussure on the treble hooks. The Cara Stickbait special at 6'6" is the best however.

For stickbaits, I would for sure if I could, fish the Cara. The BC by the way is a bit of a thicker heaver rod. Not a ton mind you, but for sure heaver and not as sensitive, as the Cara, or the Lowrider.

As far as the curado D100, love the size and weight. It is not a Chronarch MG50 or Core MG50 or Steeze 100, but it cost way less. I have a dozen and have never had a problem with any of them

Shock32 the Diiachi Death Trap in 6 is my favorite and the one lots of us are using. These hooks are very lite, and extremely thin. You can bend them, but I have never seen anything this sharp in my life. They are completly "Dangerious". Once a fish gets a face full, they are caught. The only problem with them is getting the fish loose without getting caught yourself. Phil noted I should have had them covered as I passed them around the other night, and he was right. They are not cheap, but they are chemically sharpened to a razor needle point. I have never seen a hook that you have to be this aware of when you are messing with it. They are just like a small hypodermic needle, and will stick you in a flat out second.

Good Luck

What was the website you get those at Bill?

[Bill Babler]

www.bubbajackstackle.com I don't believe you can find them for less anywhere.

Good Luck

I found the "death traps" on Lure Parts Online. Got 50 delivered for just over $20, and they shipped fast. Took 2 days from order to arrival.
