LOVE THEM. Here recently I've started making my own rods, but I'm using the same blanks as those. I also own 3 7'6" spinning rods and have had no issues. I wanna say the weight on those is around 4.3oz.

both casting and spinning. They are made of top quality components, and I have never had one fail. I seem to recall learning many years ago Falcon is the largest rod maker in the world, thus the quality for a good price.

I prefer to spend my money with the local businesses . I'm sure they are great , but So is my laguna. And I got to design it!

if you buy it from Academy (a local company) they have a no questions asked policy on return if broken.

I think they are pretty darn good rods for the money.

Tell me more about this no questions asked policy, do you need to have your receipt? I broke the tip off of one of my HD spinning rods last weekened and it was bought at Academy.

like you, when I broke my Falcon rod about three years ago I did not know about Academy's return policy, and a B-I-L told me about it. Sure enough, I had bought the broken rod (my fault) at Academy and took it back there. I did not have a receipt, as I recall and took it to the guy standing at the door. He took the rod in hand and said "go it what you want"! I got an upgrade and they charged me the difference between what my rod was worth new, and my new choice. Needless to say I was a little nervous about it, but that was their policy then, and can only guess it remains the same, since I've not heard differently. You might look on their website, which they did not have then. The original owners just sold the company , so please let us know what your experience is.

Looks as though I may be going back to Falcon, since I got some very disheartening news from a local rodbuilding company about their warranty. Should of never left them.
