Previous Feedback
Comments: prefer the grip was flipped in the manner the split grip Falcon Coastal XG are setup. Makes more sense and is far more comfortable to hold. I was very disappointed when I received it in the mail and found it has a slight bend to the left and is not perfectly straight. Not an issue I expect from Falcon or from a rod at this price level. All of my Coastal XG and Coastal Clearwater casting and spinning rods have perfectly straight blanks. One of the pitfalls of having to purchase via mail order and not handpick locally during these Covid inventory shortages

Comments: These are the best most comfortable reel seats going. Nice sensitive rod, well put together.

Comments: Love the rod but not a fan of the reel seat. Seems like a backwards design which isnt comfortable on the hand at all! Why put all that craftsmanship into a rod and screw it up by making design changes to the reel seat? These people who agreed to this design must not fish! Big disappointment in my book! Wouldve been one of my favorite finesse rods if it wasnt for that!

Comments: I'm a huge fan of Falcon rods, and as disappointed as I was to hear that they were shifting production to China I thought I would wait to see what the new rods would be like. I broke one of my favorites, a Bucoo, and bought an Expert 7' as a replacement. I've had it for only a week and have caught only one bass on it, but I must say that this is a VERY nice rod. It's very light, well balanced and super comfortable to fish with. Falcon's have a sort of minimal and simple feel to them, and this one is no exception. And according to that one fish I caught it is pretty sensitive.
