re: Looking at first Falcon Coastal, which should I get?

You can get a nice custom rod for that kind of $$$ I bought myself and my fishing buddy one for Christmas last year. LSU rod in color, 7ft med, action and UT for him, same set up. Got both for $300. Got them from Olivers Custom Rods in Lafayette. We love them, great backbone and very sensitive. I just ordered 2 more for myself, never thought that the difference between the $50 rods @ Academy and custom were worth it, til I got the custom rod. Only way I'll go now.
