Guy at work said he's broke 3 Falcon's... I asked what pound braid and he said Fluorocarbon 
I have a Falcon Buco, St. Croix Mojo Bass, and 3 AG Vendettas... No Clue on the next one, but I really like my Abu's

I broke a falcon but it was because I stepped on it. No problems otherwise.

Damn. I have three Duckett rods-two micro magics and a ghost- and I've never had a problem with any of them. They're my favorite rods I've ever had.

For a low line rod with foam handle,the EG Vendetta is the way to go. A little bit pricier is the Duckett with the cork handle. I would use a AG Vendetta over the cheap Duckett TBH.

For some reason, I can't stand a foam handle. The Duckett I have has cork. Again, a matter of preference.

I had a duckett and liked it OK. Bought a 13 fishing envy and it's a badass rod.
That being said, the rod I'll be buying in the next couple weeks is a Megabass orochi XX

While we are talking rods, Dobyns just came out with a rod to compete in the $100 market. It is the Dobyns Fury series. I have no experience with them, but I know Dobyns is popular with the tournament bass fishermen around here.

I broke the Omen I bought last year on a fish this season.
Did you send it back into 13 Fishing for replacement?

Turned out to be a nice Loomis, but at 615$ I politely deferred.
Loomis is really proud of their rods, so you should pay an exorbitant price for one.
Not.

Well I took the Duckett back to Academy and left with another Ghost but in the 7 ft version instead of the 7'3" like I had.
Went down the road and popped into Cabelas.
Mistake. LOL
After checking the upper end Ducketts and many others I decided to pop for a G Loomis E6X, their entry level rod. Normally $190, but on sale for $159. Got to the checkout and it rang up $139. Then I remembered I had a Cabelas coupon I had (from the local coupon books you can pick up for $20/book) so out the door with the Loomis for $130 !
Bazinga!!!
Will be returning the Duckett replacement for a refund so I guess that bass did me a favor in the long run with a $30 upgrade to a Loomis.
Ain't life funny sometimes. LOL

I own 2 Duckett rods. A 7foot MH and a 7 foot MCrankin. Good rods

Probably had been hit in that area at some point in manufacturing or perhaps in the back of your truck. Had a tool box fall over on some of mine many years ago, all 3 ended up breaking in the area the box fell on them.

Exchange it for a falcon bucoo. You'll be very happy...
Eta-missed that you already got a Loomis. That should work lol.
