Falcon bucoo rods series#

Anyway these rods are pretty good while they last. I am not sure what is the deal with these rods, because I have never broken a rod before other than casting too much weight on a few. Im not even going to send this one in, as I'll be exploring other brands.Ĭomments: I have had three of these rods and I have broken all three. Both on a fairly conservative hook set, literally just leaning into them.

Sensitivity and action isnt the worst, but I have snapped 2 of these in less than a year. Wish they were still made in the states like the original bucoo, thatâs what got me started with the Falcon family years ago, but I'm still a fan.Ĭomments: These rods are junk. Nice for throwing big 10 inch worms and 1/2 to 3/4 football jigs. For 100 dollars this is pretty pathetic.Ĭomments: Love em! The 7'3 mh is my favorite. I would buy them all day long.Ĭomments: I have owned a couple of these and a Jason Christine rod and well they are pretty sensitive, but the rods are as fragile as dry spaghetti noodle, one snapped on just reeling in weeds, another snapped on hook set, and the other rod just broke boat flipping a fish under 2 pounds. They might brake, I had three brake with me. One thing I do not like about them, you can't boat fish with them. Great rods if used appropriately!Ĭomments: They are good rods. including a tournament big bass and best bag for the day. I am not sure about the casting designation as I use mine for tossing both the weightless and weighted wacky along with other finesse presentations. I know it's a $100 rod but I expected better from Falcon.Ĭomments: I recently purchased my second 7 ft 'casting' version. I wasn't whipping it but I wasn't soft tossing it either. About 7-8 trips in the rod snapped on the cast with a 1/2 bait. just avoid these.Ĭomments: Got the rod with the intention of punching mats this summer, I've thrown an A rig on it and a hudd 68 so far and it handled both wonderfully.Ĭomments: I had the 7'4 Heavy Swimjig rod. Have broken them just casting a light bait or fighting a 12' fish. These Bucoos on the other hand tend to snap like twigs. Casting, paired with a Daiwa Fuego, has also been a pleasure.Ĭomments: Used to love the quality of Falcon rods and still have 20 year old Lowriders that I use to this day. Granted, the water temp has been in the high 40s to low 50s so the smallies are not yet fully energized, but, so far, I couldn't be happier with the way it handles fish. Maybe my time will come but as for now I love the sensitivity and feel of this model.Ĭomments: Have hooked and landed over 50 smallmouths so far this year with the 6'-6' med hvy model.

As you know when you feel the vibration of a bladed jig or spinnerbait stop, you set the hook and I do hard hooksets with this rod. I have caught many bass on this rod including a 9lber in Mexico but I admit I've never boat flipped a bass bigger than 3 lbs. I only throw bladed jigs and spinnerbaits on it. I've owned the 7'2' MH model since 2019 and I love it. Fuji exposed blank reel seat for direct contact with blankĬomments: Wrote my first review in February and now I have a little more experience in July, I got the 7'5 extra heavy, and this rod is great for almost everything I've done on it so far, flipping jigs in heavy cover, 6 inch soft baits, glides up to 2.5 ozs, and bull shads, I've pulled in 5 fish over 6 lbs so far and it handles big fish very wellĬomments: I'm not sure what fisherman are doing to break these rods.
