Anyone here tried any of these? They look good for the money, especially the blue diamond series. What little I have found on them seems to point towards them being made by the same people as the original falcon caras with very similar actions and lengths. Made in the USA. Seems like a decent product.

I haven’t seen them yet but the blanks are probably rolled in the same factory in Arkansas that makes Hammer Rods and used to make Falcon before they moved production to China. These Virtus rods are probably very nice if coming out of that factory.

They are a great feeling rod. Literally the same rod as the old Cara T7’s.

I have about 6 of them and love them. I’m a diehard falcon guy and switched to the virtus rods. I can’t tell the difference. The rod says made in the USA on them so I would assume they are. They are like the cara t-7 rods in my opinion.
