I ended up with a falcon lowrider 20 and its a great rod but it just doesn't feel right i can return it and trade for a rod i was looking at an oakum shadow stalker because as soon as i picked it up my hands melted and it just felt right ill use the rest of the money for tackle i guess but just curious i know it is an inshore rod but I'm going to use it for bass fishing ? Would it be worth trading out is it good or are there any rods yall would suggest I want it with foam split grips

Pretty hard to beat the falcon, what model is it and what are planning on using it for ?
I have no idea what a oakum shadow stalker is.

I believe the 4-17 is the Mansfield special.. That a nice medium running crankbait rod, like wiggle warts, or RK crawlers..I do know some guys who throw a wobble head on it but it's too soft and slow for a T-rig or jig rod ,for me anyway.
If you want a great plastics rod look at the lfc 6-610 ,also called the head turner. I use it for 3/8oz jigs, T-rigs, and its a great rod to flip around cover or in dock stalls. You can also throw a spinnerbait on it.
I have the cara version but I'm sure the lowrider will work well for you.

Guys, Ron at Valley Sports had some nice rods on Closeout that just might be a good savings. Click on his add on the left side of the page and give him a call.

I didn't know he sold Falcon..

I am not sure if he does. However, he had some very nice Dobyns fury rods on his closeout list a few days ago.
