If you have a falcon rod can u tell me how the power is do they run heavy or lighter than what they are rated. No stores near me carry them so I have to order off of tw. Thanks

I really like the falco bucco rods, but would say they are on the lighter side. The mh has quite a bit of tip to it and makes a good all around rod, i use it for spinner baits, buzz baits, swim baits and trigged. I use a m action for shallow crankin/sq bills. I've had really good experience with them, reels seats great - never comes loose, no breakage, or any problems with guides.

Great thanks cuz I saw they have a lot of mf actions and I have a good reaction bait rod I'm looking for a mh power fast rod but tw only had mh mf. I did see a heavy fast but since I don't need a really heavy rod for my area I was hoping they ran lighter so I might get the heavy. thanks 

They seem lighter than the are rated....I use a 6'10" H Bucoo Micro and it's more like a MH in the Abu or St Croix line up. It's not a bad thing, I really like that rod.

Yeah I was actually hoping they run lighter

Their xf is actually a fast

Their fast is a moderate fast

And their mod fast us a moderate

What baits do you want to throw with the rod? I own one Falcon rod.It is a Falcon Bucoo Micro series Trap Caster. It does exactly what it says it will do. I throw cranks both shallow and mid depth, all sorts of traps up to 3/4 ounces for bass and stripers. I have also thrown spinnerbaits up to 5/8 and I think it can do much more.  The statement earlier that they run lighter than Abu is crazy since Abu's always run a step heavier than their rating.  Go on the Falcon website, pick a series and read the description of the rod and its suggested use. They are correct.  For example read the description of a Bucoo Micro Lizard Dragger. They will tell you exactly what that rod will do and it will. That rod has been well known as a great carolina rig rod as well as a great texas rigged plastics rod. As long as your bait fits in the 3/8 to 1 ounce range.

For what it's worth, I used to own a MH Falcon rod

that was very similar to a MH Diawa Light & Tough.

Well ww2farmer said its like a st croix mh and that's actually what I was going to buy but I saw this falcon bucoo instead

I have both a Falcon Buccoo and a St Croix Mojo Bass in MH and the Falcon is MUCH lighter than the St Croix.  Love em both but the Falcon is definitely lighter.

Also how is the spinnerbait 

jerkbait rod of the buccoo series
