Would the falcon expert Headturner be a good light texas rig rod? I mainly pitch 3/16 - 3/8 oz soft plastic into light cover i was just wondering how this rod would do? Everything i see is they like the Headturner for moving single hook baits. I have the lowrider flippin stick which was a little too long for me to pitch and it was a little stout for my liking so i use it as my frog rod now. I love falcons so i was considering moving up to the expert line. Thank you!

Yes, it would be a great choice. The head turner was designed as a shorter pitching stick originally. I use mine for lots of jigs plus moving baits. I have other falcons that use for Texas rigs but the head turner will do just want you want if you are looking for a slightly shorter rod. 

Yes, it's a good choice. A great multipurpose rod. spinnerbaits, Chatterbaits and 3 hook walking baits as well. Mine are the Cara version but I'm sure the Expert is fine. 

I'll echo rangerjockey on the multipurpose aspect as well.  You've probably seen that in the other comments you've found on the rod.  Its a fantastic walking bait rod for the KVD sexy dawg jr (1/2 oz)- you can cast it a mile and even with mono plenty of power for a hookset at range.  I've really liked it as a buzzbait rod this year.  With a 3/8 BB it loads perfectly for those 20 yard going down the bank casts but can bomb out a big one of you want.  It fishes great for target casting them in particular.  Same for spinnerbaits.  Its been my swim and vibrating jig rod for a while when I'm throwing 1/2 oz sizes (my default weight for both).  Before I picked up some of my other falcons I used it for a pitching jig rod a lot.  I'll throw bigger squarebills on it in the summer when I'm not normally carrying a crankbait rod (we usually have too much grass).  I even used my bucoo version with braid for lighter duty frog work.  Overall a great rod for lots of things.  If I had to pick three falcon rods to outfit a boat (multiple copies of each) this would be one of my three.

 

From a product line perspective, Falcon offers the same taper in the Bucoo, lowerider, expert, and cara lines (maybe also in the other newer lines).  I have the bucoo SR (called the pitching stick) and the expert.  They have the same action. The expert is a higher modulus graphite and more responsive for bottom contact, but the bucoo is pretty darn good too.  For the moving bait side of things, the bucoo would be just fine.  I don't have the cara in the HT, but probably will end up with one eventually.  Both the cara and expert lineups are great (I have some of both).  I've been gravitating to the cara's lately because some of the tapers are only available in that line.

It will work okay. 3/16 is light for this rod.

depends on the plastic and the reel/line. A stiff line with a lighter plastic and I agree with you. A boar hogz would be a light one and would be tough with 3/16.  However a rage bug or 5” senko is enough to cast on its own so 3/16 on top of that is fine. If I was primarily fishing 3/16 and plastic then I’d pick a different rod (probably the Cara swim jig) but for 3/16 and up it’s a good choice.
