All input wecome but looking for people that have or have used Falcon Cara T7 Rods. I know no one that has one.

:-/

The premier series Croix isn't in the same class as the others at all. The other three are comparable at that point I think it is personla preference and how much you want to spend. I have had a cara and have a crucial and avid right now.  For the money I think the crucial is great.  You can find them on sale for around $120, But the cara is definitely a sweeeeet stick (just more money).

i have a falcon t7...6-6"  med heavy..i haven't used it too much yet,but since i have 5 other cara"s i'm sure i'll be very happy with it..i haven't used any of the other rods mentioned so i can't compare but i have been only buying falcon rods the last few yrs and am very happy with them.....

I fish both the Crucials and Cara's. They're both great rods at their price point but the new T7's seem to be just a bit more sensitive and lighter. Shimano's warranty can't be ignored though. Take a look at both, handle both if you can, and then make your decision. You can't really go wrong either way.
