Falcon's New Ultra Budget Series, HD

Introduction: Falcon Rods has been around since 1990 providing anglers with solid product, sensibly priced, and built within the United States. Last year, they introduced the contemporary styled BuCoo rods, a series of rods featuring split rear grips of Eva, no foregrip, and all Fuji components for $99.

This year, Falcon does themselves one better with their new HD rods. These sticks feature 100% graphite blanks, full cork rear and foregrips, and once again, all Fuji components (aluminum oxide guide inserts) for the aggressive price range of $59 - $69. Naturally, at this price range and with these components, we can’t expect the Falcon HD rods to be made in their Oklahoma plant and they are not

Last year, Falcon introduced the budget minded BuCoo series.

This year, Falcon takes it a step further with the HD series.

The new HD rods represents Falcon’s only line of sticks built overseas and they are being offered to meet the demands of the current economic climate. The fact Falcon has held out this long and is only making the move to bring in a sub $70 rod says a lot about this relatively young company.

Made overseas, these sticks retail for under $70!

Speaking of answering today’s demanding market, Falcon is also making the move into micro guides with their new Cara Micro line of rods. In this lineup are four of their more popular models and each feature 13 Fuji micro guides with Alconite inserts, split rear cork grips, and Fuji ACS reel seats. Prices range from $199 - $219 depending on the model.

Falcon joins the micro-craze with the Micro Cara.
