Richardson (pg. 12), and Jason Christie (pg.17) A peacock bass is like a black bass. Times ten. Just ask our number one field tester, the guy who started this enterprise, John Beckwith. If a rod is going to fail, he says, a peacock bass will make it fail. John recently returned from a peacock bass expeditionX10 where he tested some new Falcon rods (new peacock bass rods for 2013, by the way…and they passed with flying colors). John reminded us that when you’re peacock bass fishing 2,000 miles from the nearest tackle shop you must trust your equipment. John’s amazing peacock bass adventures have prompted us to put the Amazon River on our list of special places that remind us of very-important things…like earning your trust year after year after year. That’s why we severely flex test and inspect every rod. Every single Falcon rod gets the Falcon Trust Test, not just the ones designed for peacock bass fishing. Falcon Lake in South Texas is another on our list of special places. That’s where, in 1990, we tested the first Falcon rods, graphite prototypes with specific actions for critical jobs like fishing thick grass or walking the dog. It was a big bass day for us and the new designs. We named the company for that lake to remember the day in company history and to remind us that our special assignment is helping you win. Since then Falcon special assignment rods have won fishing tournaments all over the USA, too many special places to mention. Just know that our roots are in professional bass tournaments. Pro bass anglers are always looking for a competitive edge. When our pros tell us they need a rod with a specific action for a specific technique, we design that rod, we give them that edge. We test it. Then we give you that edge. You’ll see what we mean when you check out the following pages and note tournament-ready rods like Lizard Dragger II, Cranker, Shaky Head Jig Special, Herm Spin. Be sure to check out the expanded line of very affordable BuCoo and BuCoo Micro models, superlight split-grips with names like Finesse Jig, Shoal Spin, Trap Caster, and Open Hook. LowRider Salts This year Falcon unveils a new line of rods on special saltwater assignment -- LowRider Salts -- designed for redfish-cobia- trout-snook-bonefish-tarpon anglers. LowRider Salts include signature rods designed and tested by Florida inshore fishing guru C.A. Richardson, host of Flats Class TV, as well as those new peacock bass rods that John trust-tested in the Amazon. Okay. You may not be headed to the Amazon, but know that your Falcon rod has been Falcon Trust Tested and is ready to catch fish, fresh or salt, 2,000 or 20 miles away. Now, go fishing. Take us with you. Inspired by bass tournament professionals, Cara rods are individually designed to solve the technical requirements of properly presenting lures in a variety of demanding situations.
