Tradition and Innovation Since 1990

This year we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the LowRider rod series. The first low profile guide system

transformed high performance bass fishing. More guides, closer to blank, increased casting performance and

sensitivity. Introduced in 1995, LowRider prototypes were used to win the Bass Master Classic that year. This

year we build on our tradition of innovation.

LowRiders receive a major update. Dubbed the LowRider 20, these rods have new weight saving, ergonomic

grips, a new even lighter guide system, and a crisp new look.

We are introducing a new aerospace grade carbon material and resin system in select Cara models, “Cara ST.”

The higher modulus, higher tensile material results in a blank that is lighter, stronger and more responsive.

Even with constant innovation, we remain true to our roots. Experienced American craftsmanship and the finest

components available—all backed by decades of first hand fishing know how. We appreciate the support of our

customers and friends. See you on the water.

Falcon LowRider-first released in 1995 and changed fishing with the LowRider guide system. LowRider 20 takes the next step in proven performance.

Lighter. Longer Casts. More Sensitive. More Accurate.

F A L C O N X G G R A P H I T E B L A N K | F U J I G U I D E S | F U J I E X P O S E D B L A N K R E E L S E A T

The year was 1995. Falcon introduced the “LowRider” series of rods and marked a major change in the design of

fishing rods. Founder John Beckwith recalls, “I had heard that competitive long-distance casters were using little,

tiny, single-foot guides instead of the big double-footed guides that were the industry standard at that time. This

made sense to me. The smaller guides tamed the line coming off the reel and really reduced line slap and friction

all the way up the length of the rod. So, longer casts.” Falcon Rods pioneered a new fishing rod design quite

different from what other companies had been doing year after year.

This new rod looked different. It had more guides than other rods of the same length. Also, the guides had only one

foot attached to the blank, not two, and they were only about half the size of guides on other rods. These guides

were much closer to the blank then their predecessors.

This was the first Falcon “LowRider” rod.

But Beckwith recognized another big advantage. Because the fishing line would ride closer to the blanks the

angler would have more “feel.” The angler would detect more fish strikes, feel the lure swimming through the water

column, feel it bumping against structure, touching the bottom, or moving through vegetation.

They were noticeably lighter, too. Tournament anglers gained a competitive edge. As the word spread, Falcon

introduced new, task-specific models and later introduced LowRider Salts so saltwater anglers also could have

more casting distance and sensitivity.

The new “LowRider 20” celebrates the 20 year anniversary of the first LowRider with new features and look.

The Cara T7s represent a major step forward, outfitted with streamlined, anti-grooving Fuji Alconite Concept guides. Sleeker, lighter, corrosion-resistant S-4 stainless steel frames hold

rings made with a new generation of Alconite ceramic that is lighter and 80 percent stronger than aluminum oxide. A diamond polishing process makes the guide inserts smoother,

increasing casting distance and preventing grooving with small-diameter, low-stretch braided line. Falcon applies a thicker flex coat to protect the guide wraps from damaging rays from

the sun.

The Cara T7 series supersede previous Cara casting, Cara spinning and Cara Reaction models, but the heart of the new series remains Falcon’s American-made Cara T7 Graphite blank, a

proprietary weave of high modulus graphite praised for its balance of sensitivity and durability.

Just ask our number one field tester, the guy who started

this enterprise, John Beckwith . If a rod is going to fail,

he says, a Peacock bass will make it fail. John’s amazing

peacock bass adventures have prompted us to put the

Amazon River on our list of special places that remind us of

very-important things…like earning your trust year after year

after year. That’s why we severely flex test and inspect every

rod. Every single Falcon rod gets the Falcon Trust Test , not

just the ones designed for Peacock Bass fishing.

Peacock bass fishing may be the ultimate test of a fishing rod - heavy braided line, thick

under water brush, and perhaps the meanest, strongest fish pound for pound. When you

are 2000 miles from the nearest tackle shop, equipment failure is not an option. Falcon

has developed a reputation as the only serious choice for Peacock bass. We bring this

expertise to the entire line.

The Falcon “Original” series, 25 tournament-tested American

heroes just keep getting better. This collection of 6 casting

and 14 spinning rods now features stronger, lighter, low-

to-the-blank Fuji guides for longer casts. Fuji ergonomic

graphite reel seats and 33 million modulus graphite

blanks that extend through the handle add up to the best

combination of strength, sensitivity, and durability of any rod

on the market.

We use 100% Fuji guides and reel seats on all Falcon rods. It costs

more but the difference in quality is worth it.

LSC-68M Flats M M 9 8-17 lb. 1/4 - 1/2 oz. 6’8” Input from Port O’Connor fisherman made this the go to rod for specks.

LSC-69L Topwater L F 9 8-15 lb. 3/16 - 1/2 oz. 6’9” Take this one the next time you fish a topwater or walk the dog.

LSC-7M Popper M M 10 8-17 lb. 1/4 - 1/2 oz. 7’ This is the favorite rod for shrimp tails and quarter ounce heads.

LSC-7MH Reds Caster MH MF 10 12-20 lb. 1/4 - 3/4 oz. 7’ Venice captains catch 30-40 lb. reds on this rod day in and day out.

LSC-76M Gulf Caster M M 10 10-20 lb. 1/4 - 3/4 oz. 7’6” This longer rod loads great for long casting spoons and the parabolic action is a real advan-tage when you are fighting fish.

LSS-7M Popper M M 9 10-17 lb. 1/4 - 1/2 oz. 7’ This is one of our most popular actions. The parabolic action loads and cast lures with ease and the forgiving blank design makes landing fish a reality.

LSS-7MH Reds Spin MH MF 9 12-20 lb. 1/4 - 3/4 oz. 7’ This rod loads up just right for popping corks and shrimp tails, but has the backbone to fight 30-40 lb. redfish.

LSS-7H Bull Red Spin H M 9 15-25 lb. 3/8 - 1 oz. 7’ Plenty of backbone, this LowRider also has a tip section soft enough to cast mirrolures.

LSS-76L “Flats Class” L M 10 8-17 lb. 3/16 to 1/2 oz. 7’ 6” C.A. Richardson loves the slower precise action of this LowRider. The parabolic action allows you to load the entire blank, giving greater casting distance which is huge advantage in clear water.

LSS-76M “Flats Class” M MF 10 10-17 lb. 1/4 to 1/2 oz. 7’ 6” This medium action rod provides more backbone but still has the slower parabolic action, making it a better fit for heavier baits like larger spoons.

LSS-76MH Reds Spin MH M 10 12-20 lb. 1/4 - 3/4 oz. 7’ 6” A quicker taper, this LowRider can turn the heads of snook or bull reds.

LSS-8M Outtasight M M 10 10-20 lb. 1/4 - 3/4 oz. 8’ We designed this LowRider with the length and action to make the longest casts possible.

LSS-8XH Tarpon XH F 11 15-40 lb. 1-3 oz. 8’ We built this rod with the length and action to cast unwieldy rigs and the backbone to handle tarpon, the king of inshore sport fish.

Flats Class has had a hand in working with the rod designers and ownership at Falcon Rods to incorporate the highly regarded LowRider blank into a true salt water angling tool. The

“LowRider Salt” has Fuji chrome finish stainless steel guides for improved corrosion resistance and the same LowRider guide concept that gives anglers increased casting distance

and sensitivity. The “LowRider Salt” will also have more true saltwater specific actions and natural cork handles that are preferred by discriminating inshore anglers... plus they are

all made right here in the USA! The entire “LowRider Salt” series has specific models that will cover every scenario and species for inshore enthusiasts, including a fantastic beach

tarpon spinning rod and the new “Flats Class”models designed to cast artificial baits to trout and redfish on the shallow flats!

With over twelve years of pro-level tour experience, Capt. C.A. Richardson of St. Petersburg, Florida, has a passion for teaching the finer points of inshore fishing. Richardson not only teaches anglers on a one-on-one basis, but also regularly shares tips on the Flats Class TV show and at speaking engagements throughout the Gulf Coast.

LowRider Concept: Gain longer casts for more strikes and increased bite sensitivity for more hook-sets.

In my opinion, Falcon has hit a home run with this series, and most inshore anglers will definitely agree the “LowRider Salt” is going to

be a must for serious artificial lure enthusiasts!” - Capt. C.A. Richardson
