Show and Tell-Rods and Reels

[Donald Garner]

Man some really nice collections of rod n reels you fellas have. I cant match them but this is what I fish with.

Not all my arsenal but this is my Lew's collection that I use. I have a new knob on the way for the BB1 reel that is missing the cap. I don't know how but the end of the knob is messed up where the cap wont stay. 

I know its nothing like some of you guys but these work for me.

Steve looks like your set    All them fit in your boat at the same time?

Actually I can get them all in there. I can pretty easily get a spinning reel or two in with them. Rod Gloves or similar are a must they make in and out so easy. My locker isn't really that big but it is pretty deep.

I dont usually have but about 10 rods in the boat when its just me. So many are left at the house.

Can you get all yours in your locker? You have a awesome collection of rods.

[D.W. Verts]

You can only fish with one rod at a time.

Beware the angler with one fishin' pole.

I was sponsored by Falcon in the late nineties, strictly second-tier, thru my rep. I did test some of the first "Lowrider" series rods. That's about it, except I had some GREAT sponsors over the years.

I didn't know that Falcon was an overseas product now. When I got mine they came \out of Oklahoma.

[FloridaFishinFool]

Falcon is now about half still American made and the other half are now Chinese made. The rods not mentioned below are still made in America.

I just found the email from Falcon explaining which series of rods are now made in China:

"We do have four model series that are made overseas, yes. The HD, Coastal, Bucoo SR, and our Slab series.

Thank you,

Tks, In my Stratos I can with no issues.  I have all my moving baits in one rod locker and all the soft plastic rigged stuff in the other rod locker.  In my G3 I only carry ( 8 ) rods with me.
