falcon rods hold up

yeah i know strange even for me but.
haveing listened to both "boss man" and his brother tell about catching a "really ugly, really really smelly. flat head i take it to be truth full. so the story goes like this.
they were working a section of high rock-they won't tell me where- bossman's brother throwing a shad rap up on the bank and reeling it slowly in to the boat. he hangs something "huge" after a long battle they wrestle this stinky thing to the boat. it bottoms out a 50 pound spring scale. they jam this beast into the live well. and run for the truck they weigh this flat head using a boat paddle and 100 pound scale the flat head weighs 68.5 pounds .
caught on a 7' falcon cara rod using "that 4600 c-4 you gave me" and 12 pound ande line. from what i have heard bossman's brother grabbed his rod by mistake. these guys are shoulder to shoulder fisherman.
but i an happy i have converted another "stren" user to ande. although i do not know much about these sticks . they have got to be a really well made rod to take this kind of punishment. -not that i am going to buy one in the future- i will give these rods a second look next time..

i know power i rather use fenwick rods my self but these guys swear by those falcon rods. besides that 68.5 pound flat head is bigger than my 58 pound flat head i caught in the same lake.

yeah. they are that good.And should one ever break, they have a fantastic return policy and customer service. I have used Fenwick, but personally dont think they are any better than the Falcon. this is just my oppinion however, as everyone has thier favorite rods.

im not denying that they hold up, but they tend to be a little more expensive then the Eagle GT series i like to use. Im saving up for an Hmg or Hmx,whichever one is cheaper, because im also in need of some lures.
