The Falcon HD is a freshwater bass rod series based on 100% graphite HD blanks, sold as a high-value platform in the sub-$100 price range. The series fits bass anglers looking for a capable moving-bait and technique-specific rod that does not require premium pricing, and has drawn consistent comparisons to rods priced two to three times higher. It is used across a range of applications including crankbaits, jerkbaits, topwater, and soft plastics. Blanks are 100% graphite with Fuji guides and Fuji exposed-blank reel seats for improved blank contact on the reel foot.
Cork handles provide a natural feel at the price point. The series carries a 5-year limited warranty. Component quality has been noted as consistent with the price tier, though some recent production batches have reportedly included non-Fuji guide variants. The 13 models span 6'6" to 7'6" in both casting (8 models) and spinning (5 models), covering power classes from M through H. Actions are predominantly M (moderate) and MF (moderate fast), with two F (fast) models for heavier presentations.
The 6'8" M casting model is particularly associated with jerkbaits, topwater, and squarebill cranks. The 7' M and 7'6" M models extend reach for longer-distance presentations. Spinning models step from 6'6" M and H through 7' and 7'6" M and MH to cover finesse and mid-range spinning applications.
Deeper Dive
A closer look at notable models.
Heavy-power spinning rod, uncommon in the HD spinning range. Designed for anglers made for large bass or hybrid stripers on spinning gear with heavier braided line setups.
Considered the series' standout model by reviewers. MF taper is well-matched to jerkbaits, squarebills, walking baits, and poppers. Soft enough tip to keep trebles pinned during fights.
Fast action H-power model for heavier techniques, jig and pig, frogging, flipping to heavy cover. 7' length provides reach with the backbone to move big fish from vegetation and dock wood.
Moderate taper for lighter crankbaits and small topwater. Noted by users as a reliable crankbait rod across balsa and hard-plastic baits up to 3/4 oz, with a forgiving tip that loads smoothly.
Longest and heaviest casting model. Extra 3" over the 7' H version for additional casting distance and leverage on larger fish. Suited to heavy flipping, punching mats, and big swimbaits.
