I love my falcon rods... Super light and sensitive. They have a chaper line that is more budget friendly called the HD series that are about 60 bucks that are awesome as well. Great sensitivity and durability. I have the Bucoo rods under my nicer reels but have a few of the HD rods on my backups and love them. Check out the HD series if you ever need another rod, I wouldn't hesitate to by another and will prolly wind up with a few more before years end. One thing to consider though, Falcon rods are usually linhter actions than similarly marked rods of other brands. For exmple, a medium Falcon rod acts more like a medium light to medium and a heavy feels more like a stiffer than avg medium/heavy.
