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.”

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. MoreSensitive. More Accurate.

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.

LowRider guide system
the system that changed fishing
Spinning
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.

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.

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!
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
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.
