Okay, there are tons of forums that go back years about rods. So with Springtime here, I'm looking for a Carolina Rod and Jig Rod. I've fished for 50 years and used everything from G.Loomis, Cameron and Falcon, not to mention All Star and Castaway. I'm ready to REPLACE the stuff that's over 2 years old now. Seems like Falcon LowRider and Temple Fork Rods have the best reviews with over 50 positive comments about Falcon. Lay it on me!

Falcon Cara CC-6-17 Lizzard Dragger this is a 7ft Heavy..great for Jigs and made for C-Rig..Light weight and strong with a full handle. Little more than 150 though. Or Lowrider LFC-6-17 Lizzard Dragger 149 new little heavier Strong 7 footer w/full handle..maybe find one on here or Tackle Warehouse sale (Easter?) 
In order to catch Big Fish..Sometimes you gotta Suffer.

You know the old saying
If it floats, flys, or f___s it is always cheaper to rent!
You have to decide which is more important.

Don't under estimate the Falcon Bucoo series.
 The world is changed by your example, not by your opinion.

The old stuff will go to my Grand Kids some day and thanks for asking. I kind of feel like I know you all and appreciate your continued comments.
