WPCfishing Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 I'm considering a 6'6" Herm or the Low Rider 20 6"8" AOY any thoughts? Quote
Basswhippa Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 My son has had a couple. One got broke in transit in a car wreck. He told me not to ever use his, because I would want one. I made that mistake, and fished a texas rig and caught a couple. It is an awesome $100 rod. Light, balanced, sensitive, Falcon build. That says enough. Just a work horse rod. Quote
d-camarena Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 I have 6, 3 casting and 3 spinning. I love them. Great quality and light. My favorite is a 7ft medium fast spinning Quote
k3bass Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 I have 6, 3 casting and 3 spinning. I love them. Great quality and light. My favorite is a 7ft medium fast spinning That would probably be my favorite spinning rod to if they actually made a bucoo 7' medium fast rod. Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted September 30, 2015 Super User Posted September 30, 2015 they're light and sensitive. i had one that had specs made for cranking, but it didn't have enough power for me really. ended up selling it off, but nice rod nonetheless. Quote
Jaw1 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Probably the 7' med moderate but they do have a med lt 7' fast Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted September 30, 2015 Super User Posted September 30, 2015 Decent rods for the money. Their power ratings are a bit generous though. The 6'10 pitchin' stick is labeled as a heavy, but it's a true mh with a softer tip due to the mod/fast action. Also owned the 7'0 med/mod and it was the same way. A bit too whimpy for my liking. I cut 1.5" off the rear of the 6'10 and installed a new but cap I got from Falcon. It makes a great rod for treble hooked baits. Great squarebill rod for sure. Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted September 30, 2015 Super User Posted September 30, 2015 I've heard a lot of good things about them lately. In hand they feel pretty good, they're about as light as a $100 rod can get. Quote
d-camarena Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 I just checked my rod, your right. My medium fast is a 6'6 and my 7ft is called the cranker spin and does not say if its moderate or fast. The 7ft is my favorite rod i own. It takes a beating. Quote
d-camarena Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 The 7ft is moderate, i didnt know that lol Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted September 30, 2015 Super User Posted September 30, 2015 Here's a list of all the actions. Quote
zachb34 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 The "trap caster" is one heck of a rod. Its light sensitive and obviously excels with lipless baits. My only issue with the bucoo's are the micro guides are way too fragile. I don't beat my gear, but the slightest bump from another rod and I need a new guide. It is 4 years old though. Quote
21farms Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 i had the 6'6" herm action with the micro guides...i thought it was great rod. mine only weighed 3.5 ounces and the sensitively was amazingly good for the price. Quote
k3bass Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Probably the 7' med moderate but they do have a med lt 7' fast Nope the 7' medium light is also moderate. I ordered one because tw has it listed as fast but it was moderate. Falcons site has it listed as moderate, guess I should have looked first. I love the bucoo casting rods, but don't understand why they don't make any medium power fast action spinning rods! I also really don't like how they leave all the threads on the seats of their spinning rods instead of trimming them. Quote

The 7ft is my favorite rod i own. It takes a beating. Yeah I have that rod to and it will LAUNCH a small crankbait! Just wish they would make a 7' fast action to. Quote
d-camarena Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 I never noticed they dont make a 7ft medium fast. Thats odd that they dont make one. That would be a near perfect rod considering my 7ft medium moderate bucoo Quote
Jaw1 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Well I guess they tricked me to. Oh well I have the cranknspin also,used it for light cranks before I set up a bfs combo. Quote
d-camarena Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Ive thrown frogs, jigs, texas rigs, cranks and spinnerbaits on the cranker spin lol works great for me. I love the rod. I imagine a medium fast would be even more perfect. I love the parabolic bend on a medium moderate rod. Seems like i can keep pressure on the fish a little better Quote
k3bass Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 I never noticed they dont make a 7ft medium fast. Thats odd that they dont make one. That would be a near perfect rod considering my 7ft medium moderate bucoo They don't make any bucoo medium or medium lt fast action spinning rods. It doesn't make sense! Quote
wnspain Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 They don't make any bucoo medium or medium lt fast action spinning rods. It doesn't make sense! Tackle Warehouse lists the BCS-3-17 Medium Light spinning rod w a fast action Quote
WPCfishing Posted October 1, 2015 Author Posted October 1, 2015 Good to hear all the positive feedback. I'll keep the action in mind if I decide to buy. I was thinking mh, I suppose I should get a hvy. Quote

That is a great rod! Very versatile. I agree about the micro guides not being very good, I only buy the regular version bucoo now, not the micro version. I'm up to 8 of them and plan on buying more.

d-camarena Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Yeah i agree about the guides. All of mine are regular guides Quote
zachb34 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Yeah i agree about the guides. All of mine are regular guidesI've said it earlier, but just to get an idea, I've had mine for 4 years. Sunday it's going to the shop to get a guide replaced for the 7th time. If this thing wasn't such a sweet rod other wise, it would be given away. To anyone looking at one, get the regular guides.
