Travis Swift Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 I have a falcon cara Amistad that i use for mine and i love it. I also have 2 of the Falcon Bucco Microguide Amistads and LOVE them alot as well. In fact they are probably my favorite and a bit cheaper.
Bill Babler Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 Hey Bill, those Falcons are a bit dull for Denny and I ... we only use bright white or yellow rods. But we will probably stop by and pilfer thru your stuff anyway. Probably raid the fridge while we're at it. We are usually hungry. Don't have to tell you the fridge is always open and I know I don't have to tell Denny the Bar is also. Just Sayin. http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com
Champ188 Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 Yup, and Donna and I count ourselves blessed to call you and Becky friends.
Guest Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 You simply cannot do better than the Falcon Cara and Reaction series of rods. Along with the head turner, you may also want to view the Reaction Swim Jig Rod. It is a bit longer and I believe it handles that size bait. The Cara Amasted is also a great rod for what you are looking for. You are more than welcome to come to my house and put your hands on any of the fine bass fishing casting rods that Falcon makes. I usually have most models on hand for anyone to see. Tackle Warehouse would have been the deal up to yesterday with the big discount, but they are worth the full price everyday. Most of mine are equipped with Lews Tournament Pro's, or Diawa Steez so you will for sure have your hands on a good one. Bill, what was the name of that falcon spinning rod that's out of production? it was a medium heavy saltwater spinning rod.
Bill Babler Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Cenderi The absolute best rod of any type I have ever used. Came in Med. and Med HVY and HVY. I hold my breath every time I pull them from the box. But they are there to use and when they are gone I'll have more than fond memories. Saw them on the internet in Florida listed for $329.00 but all they had was the Heavy. This was a couple of years ago. have not looked since. They are now 5 yrs. out of date. I'll tell you another one that they had that was fantastic was the Expert. Again the 7 ft. Med spinning is a fantastic Head rod and will do just about anything. Was to pricy at over 3 bills and they discontinued it also. Might find these somewhere. Good Luck http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com
ozarkgunner Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 I use a 7 foot cara spinning rod to toss a grub. I noticed a better hook up ratio with the cars than my loomis gl3. Angler At Law
abkeenan Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 I have a 7' M Cara Spinning Rod and I use it for a lot. Grubs, Shakeyheads, Small Jigs, Ned Rigs, Dropshot....basically anything 3/8-5/16 oz and under and it does great. I don't think you could be disappointed in any Falcon Rod you choose. I love my BuCoo especially for the price.
Guest Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 They have a few 7'6" & 7' medium cenderi on this website. http://www.landbigfish.com/FalconRods/Falcon-Rods.cfm eBay has a 6'8' medium cenderi used for $90 + shipping What makes them perform so well?

They have the most extreme Tipflex of any rod I have ever used. Not only with this flex propel a bait out of sight, but it is extremely sensitive when used as a drop shot rod. The midsection is full but when fished correctly with a high rod attitude it keeps pressure off the fishing line and keeps the pressure on the fish thru the middle of the blank. The butt or lower section is more than strong enough to lift fish either with your hands on the full cork handle or slide them infront of the reel to swing a fish. I pair this with a Shimano Stradic 2500 or a Shimano Sustain and it can more than handle anything that Table Rock has to offer and propel a bait so far you can see the spool when using either 6 or 8 pound line filled to the max on the reel. Other than that, its not much of a rod. Good Luck http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com
Bill Babler Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Thanks for the info. I called about this rod. They don't have it. I think I called them 3 or 4 years ago on this same website and they didn't have it then. At the $269.00 figure I thought it would have been a great buy, as if I remember they were $329.00 when they came out. Way to dig however. the 6'8" on ebay is not the correct rod either. http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com
