COASTAL CLEARWATER

The Falcon Coastal Clearwater is a dedicated inshore saltwater rod series designed for anglers fishing the Gulf Coast, Atlantic, and Pacific inshore environments for species such as speckled trout, redfish, flounder, snook, tarpon, and striped bass. The series spans from light wading presentations to stout tarpon-class rods, covering the full inshore spectrum in both spinning and casting configurations. Blanks use Falcon's proprietary multi-directional carbon fiber, which the company describes as providing increased sensitivity, crisper actions, and greater torsion resistance versus conventional unidirectional layups.

This results in improved accuracy and casting distance. All models are fitted with 100% Fuji K-Frame tangle-free guides, upgraded in 2020. Blanks are identified by Falcon's in-house flex/power rating system. The series retails in the $149–$185 range. The 13 models include 4 casting and 9 spinning rods. Casting rods run 6'7"–7'6" in ML through MH, covering trout finesse, spoon/plug casting, and all-around cranking. Spinning rods span 7'–8' and hold the widest spread, from the 7' ML bucktail/light-jig stick (SWS-7ML) through the 8' XH tarpon special (SWS-8XH) rated 25–40 lb and 3/4–3 oz.

Each model carries a descriptive nickname from the manufacturer reflecting its primary application.
