LOL, I know I’m only a couple of years into this hobby but dang... my low rider 20 medium/fast action is what I consider my most sensitive baitcast rod and use it for square billing and love it. I can’t imagine how sensitive those Cara’s must be if they put the Lowrider 20 to shame.

I love my Falcons......Caras and Lowriders. I still have 13 Lowrider spinning rods with TN Handles still in the wrapper.......not including the other 10 in my boat. And that don't include the baitcasters. I will never have to buy another rod in my lifetime... banana

I have all Falcon rods. Mostly Lowriders with a couple of Cara's and 4 Coastal. The Coastal's are a great saltwater rod for $89 at Academy. I had a few other rods in the past. I just like the Falcons. I am a cork handle man. I like a rod that's pretty tough. I have broke a few Falcon's over the years. It's always been my fault so I just threw them in the trash and got another one.

I just made the switch to all Falcon this past December. I've had everything from Bucoo SR to the Expert. Unfortunately I have had some bad luck and broken quite a few on my boat, not the rods fault. I currently have three original bucoos, one Bucoo micro, a lowrider xg and a Cara ST. I plan to get a few more by next year, at least one Cara T7 and a lowrider 20 or two.

Can't go wrong with Falcon rods, the Cara is the rod of choice but a bit pricey. They hold up extremely well for all conditions and you can't beat the warranty. If you use them allot and break them the warranty will pay for them over and over.

Cara’s are great but I still have several old Lowriders that are some of my favorite rods. The Lizard Dragger 1 model Lowrider is one of the best “all around” rods made. C-rig,T-rig, cranks, chatterbaits.....

They also have a trade in program, you can trade in a rod and upgrade. I take a couple with me when I'm in the Tulsa area and get new rods.

Wish they made a 7'4" jig rod with full cork handle but no cork in front of the reel seat!

Imo...Buccoo is one the best bangs for the bucks on the market. I can't tell much difference between a Buccoo and Cara in the same rod.

Cara's and USA made Buccoo if you can find them. Looks like Buccoos are made in China now days. Cabela's usually has a good selection of Cara's. I really like the Lizard Dragger II and the Composite crankin rods. Weightless worm is another good one.
