vertigo Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Hi All, I'm looking at picking up some of the new Falcon Bucoo rods. I can only find them in the States in limited stores. Does anyone know much about them? I read things online, but they are so new to the market that simple info such as the taper is not out yet. I was also considering the MoJo's but the colour is really putting me off. Is anyone planning on ordering a Bucoo or have one and can give me a review on it or on Falcon rods in general. Is there a Falcon rod dealer in the GTA? Thanks. Nelson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vertigo Posted June 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 They came out about 3 days ago. I'm thinking of ordering them from Monster Tackle on the ast coast. Shipping rates are incredible! $10 for one pice 7 foot rods! They even combine shipping on rods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cudz Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Falcon are good rods but I have not seen them for sale in Canada. I am sure someone must sell them though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertigo Posted June 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Too bad. I wonder what the closest place to the border? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC1 Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 probably best to wait unless you're willing to gamble with your money. Wait until someone has a review of it somewhere and then you'll know whether you should get it or not. Your other option is the Mojo Bass rods from St. Croix right? If you're in a rush to get a rod, get the mojo then, or you can gamble 100 bucks for the new bucoo. To be honest with you though, the bucoo does look really nice from pictures. I don't know how long that clean/matte look will last because of the EVA foam, and my Damiki rod with EVA foam has turned slightly smooth and glossy after about 2 months of use...about 20 days of fishing or so.

Rodwrap Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 A little dish soap & scrub pad will bring the EVA back to new. Falcons have been around...possibly, like loomis, under several different owners...a little research is required here.. Loomis....once the Caddilac, & strongly supported by the custom builders, now will discontinue blank mfg. 12/31.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
