I know they don't make them anymore. But they have a Lifetime warranty, so I would like to see about a replacement.

You might want to try to track down Brady Winans, I think he is the local Falcon rep.

I had an old cara that the rod seat broke from the blank. Called/emailed and they sent me one very quick. They did ask $40 to cover shipping.

They told me $80 for out of warranty since I have no receipt.

Good luck! I used to buy two or three Falcons every year. A couple of years ago I gave myself a Cara for Christmas. The first day I took it to the lake, on my second cast, I set the hook on a 14- incher and it broke about a foot above the handle. I sent it in expecting a replacement and was accused of stepping on it. I'll never buy another.

I have sent numerous rods back to Falcon for warranty exchange, I am rough on my rods. I push boat off rocks with the butt, I do a lot of power fishing. I have some that have lasted for 15 years.
I send them back if they break and let them make the determination if it was a bad rod or my fault, I would say overall they have been more than fair with me.

I had an original that was cracking toward the tip. Took it to Academy & they just told me to go get a new one and swapped it out. I am a big fan of Falcon rods & Academy, just through personal experience.
