ib_of_the_damned Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Im interested in getting one of the Falcon BuCoo rods for throwing cranks, and everything else I cant throw on a MH/XF Vendetta. Which power would best suit my needs? M or MH? Any and all help would be awesome! Thanks! Quote
OIFBasser Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Go up to the store and feel them out. I'd check out the 7 Med. I have the 6'10" MH and use it for traps every now and then, and it is servicable. Quote
wickyman Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 I prefer the 7'medium. They are really nice, with a fast tip. I don't own one, just tried one out. It felt comparable to other makers in the same range. Quote
luz2blaze Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 The 7'Med is a noodle compared to that abu. I would suggest you hold one first. why not another abu? Quote
fishntime Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Honestly, I own the 7ft heavy and love this rod. I use it for my Ika rod. The tip is very soft when compared to my other rods. I think the MH will suit you just fine. Quote
ib_of_the_damned Posted November 10, 2009 Author Posted November 10, 2009 Thanks for all the answers so far, I am actually looking for a rod that can handle cranks first, and the general purpose second. I checked out the Falcons at Bass Pro and the Medium feels good and not too whippy, and the Medium Heavy seems too stiff for cranks. I have read in a previous post that the Medium feels like a noodle, it didn't at the store. So basically if anyone has or used the 6"6" Med would you suggest it for cranks and general purpose? Quote
nUgZ Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Ideally for a crankbait rod you want one with moderate or moderate fast action. The power isn't really as important. You can get a M, MH, or H as long as they have a moderate or moderate fast action. *EDIT* The BCC-4-17 would be a great choice for an all around crankbait rod. It's 7", but I think you'd love it.
