Falcon is pretty much depleted of most of their stock.

I spoke to them yesterday and they are saying the new Cara will be out in December. Price point will be 249.99

It will be based on the same T7 format with all the same models and actions.

 

They do consider it an upgrade over the Experts ... however they confirmed that the Expert will still be the lighter rod and should be a bit more sensitive in certain applications.
The bottom line is all the Falcon pro’s still use all 3 lines Low Rider .. Expert and Cara.

Hallman in fact still uses the Low Rider rods more than all of them.

Considering that he has them all and is sponsored that speaks volumes in terms of the overall value of that Low Rider.

Seems like they are trying to manage the product offering clash between the Expert and the Cara.

 

The Cara is better, but not always. So still buy the Experts where they are better, but buy the Cara, because it's better too. 

 

 

The Expert is a really really nice rod. It’s super crisp and has a bit faster action than the Cara. It’s one of the most sensitive rods I’ve owned and just feels alive. That said I will definitely buy a new Cara too
