Falcon fishing rods started out with a bang in the fishing industry, and today are seen as a ‘Great American Rod Builder’. Falcon rods began as plain and simple ‘originals’ designed for the die-hard fishing fanatic looking for a sturdy and reliable fishing outfit. Falcon’s approach to building only quality rods proved to be the backbone of one of the most stubbornly-creative and quality-driven fishing rod companies around.
The look of Falcon rods may have changed over the years but the great Falcon name has remained intact and unwavering. Currently the Falcon ‘Original’ series offers 25 tournament-tested American-Built rods with 14 casting rods and 11 spinners.
The name ‘Falcon’ comes from ‘Falcon Lake’ on the Texas and Mexico border. A fishing trip to this lake that the founders took many years ago is what they named the company for. One of the best things about the Falcon fishing rods are they are made right here in North America. With so many products in the fishing industry being made overseas, it is nice to have quality fishing equipment made right in our own backyard.
There are some very serious light-weight fresh-water fishing rods that are produced and sold by Falcon, that deserve showcasing. The FC 4 – 16 Treble Rod is an 8/ 15 pound test juggernaut of a fresh-water fishing rod. It is excellent as the trigger stick for lipless crank baits and shallow to medium running lure presentations. This model is also perfect for pitching plastic-grubs on 10 to 12 pound test, and has proved to be quite effective when matched against the walleye and pike population in Western Canada.
The goal of a fisherman is to land enough fish to have dinner or just have an exciting day on the water. Anything short of those two goals is disappointing for any angler. Falcon fishing rods have proven year in and year out as some of the most reliable fishing rods on the market. Listed below are two of the most popular Falcon ‘Original’ series fresh-water fishing rods, available today.
- Original 4 – 166 Crank or M. 7 foot 8 to 17 pound test fresh-water rod

These two original Falcon rods cover most of all of the fresh-water game species targeted by anglers all over North America. Of course there are those times that a different more specific rod is utilized. Falcon fishing rods have models with more power and speed designed to tackle giant Spoon-billed Catfish or Muskie. The above-mentioned rods are great for all types of trout fishing and walleye and pike fishing in Canada. Even the ice fishing-angler can find a use for one of these fantastic Original series fountain freshwater fishing rods.
