Medium-fast action, EVA and cork split handle, premium spigot ferrule. Available in five configurations across 1.98m, 2.1m and 2.4m lengths, covering Ultra Light through Heavy power in tip pairs from 1–8g to 15–60g. Reel sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDual-Tip System — Two Rods in One\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach Falcon II includes two tip sections matched to the same butt section. The two tips are different power ratings — a lighter tip and a heavier tip for each rod. The angler swaps the tip by pulling the current tip out of the spigot ferrule and inserting the other; the change takes seconds and requires no tools. The consequence: the angler can shift the rod’s effective lure weight range on the water without carrying a second rod.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe five variants and their tip pairs:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1.98m UL\/L\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ultra Light tip (1–5g) + Light tip (3–8g); combined range 1–8g; the lightest and most compact configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.1m M\/ML\u003c\/strong\u003e: Medium tip (7–21g) + Medium Light tip (4–12g); combined range 4–21g; the most versatile mid-range configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.4m M\/ML\u003c\/strong\u003e: same Medium and Medium Light tip pair as the 2.1m M\/ML but on the 2.4m blank for greater casting reach; range 4–21g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.4m M\/MH\u003c\/strong\u003e: Medium tip (7–21g) + Medium Heavy tip (10–28g); combined range 7–28g; suited to medium lure fishing where the MH tip covers larger hard bodies and surface lures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.4m MH\/H\u003c\/strong\u003e: Medium Heavy tip (10–28g) + Heavy tip (20–60g); combined range 15–60g; the heaviest configuration for offshore light fishing, large surface lures and heavy estuary applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003e30T+40T Dual-Modulus Carbon Blank\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Falcon II blank uses Toray 30T carbon in the butt section and 40T in the upper section and tip — the same dual-modulus approach used in premium lure rod construction. 30T provides the butt’s structural strength and toughness under the bending loads of the cast and fight; 40T in the upper section and tip increases stiffness and vibration transmission efficiency where the blank’s sensitivity determines bite detection and lure-feel performance. The combination achieves a lightweight, powerful and sensitive blank that neither full-30T (heavier, less sensitive tip) nor full-40T (stronger butt performance not needed in the butt zone) provides alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCeramic Guide Rings\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Falcon II is fitted with ceramic ring guides in stainless steel brackets. Ceramic ring inserts resist grooving from braided PE line passing through the ring at casting speed — the primary failure mode of softer metal guide rings under braid use. The guide bracket type is matched to the tip power: single-bracket guides on UL, L, ML and M tip sections where line tension is lower; double-bracket guides on MH and H tip sections where heavier line classes produce higher tension loads on the guide frame. Double-bracket guides provide more frame stability against lateral flex under load at heavier line classes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePremium Spigot Ferrule\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Falcon II uses a spigot ferrule — a male spigot section that inserts into the female section of the rod’s lower half. The key design detail: the spigot is designed with a small reserved gap at full insertion depth rather than seating completely flush. This means that when the rod is plugged together and unplugged repeatedly, the wear from the insertion and extraction cycle occurs in the reserved gap section rather than at the load-bearing contact zone of the ferrule. The wear zone is physically separated from the structural load-transfer zone, extending the ferrule’s working life. The same spigot connection is used for the interchangeable tip sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEVA and Cork Split Handle\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Falcon II uses a split handle design: a cork section forward of the reel seat (where the fingers contact the blank above the reel during the retrieve) and an EVA section at the rear grip below the reel seat. The split design reduces handle weight compared to a full-length single-material grip by removing material between the two contact zones where the hand does not actually rest. Cork provides precise feel and vibration transmission at the forward grip; EVA provides a secure, durable rear grip surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eVariant Application Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1.98m UL\/L (1–8g)\u003c\/strong\u003e: the most compact Falcon II; suited to bream, estuary perch and whiting on micro soft plastics, small blades and surface lures; pairs with a 2000–2500 spinning reel; PE #0.4–0.6 braid and 6–10lb fluorocarbon leader; estuary, rock walls and shallow flats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.1m M\/ML (4–21g)\u003c\/strong\u003e: the most versatile all-round configuration; covers flathead, bream and trevally on soft plastics and small hard body lures with the ML tip; upgrades to medium hard bodies and surface lures for larger trevally and light snapper with the M tip; pairs with a 2500–3000 spinning reel; PE #0.6–0.8 and 10–15lb leader\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.4m M\/ML (4–21g)\u003c\/strong\u003e: same application range as the 2.1m M\/ML but 40cm longer for bank, jetty and boat casting where additional reach is needed; the extra length improves casting distance and leverage when fighting fish from elevated positions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.4m M\/MH (7–28g)\u003c\/strong\u003e: flathead to 2kg, solid trevally and estuary snapper on medium hard bodies, swimbaits and surface poppers; the MH tip handles the larger lure weights common in targeted flathead and trevally fishing; pairs with a 3000–4000 spinning reel; PE #0.8–1.0 and 12–20lb leader\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.4m MH\/H (15–60g)\u003c\/strong\u003e: offshore light jigging and large surface lure fishing; snapper to 5kg, light kingfish and large estuary species; the H tip handles jigs to 60g and large bibless lures; pairs with a 4000–5000 spinning reel; PE #1.0–1.5 and 20–30lb leader\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: SeaKnight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Falcon II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlank: 30T+40T dual-modulus carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAction: Medium Fast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePieces: 2 (butt + interchangeable tip)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTips per rod: 2 (different power ratings per variant)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuides: Ceramic rings, stainless steel brackets (single bracket UL–M; double bracket MH–H)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFerrule: Premium spigot (reserved-gap wear design)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: EVA and cork split grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Spinning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLengths: 1.98m, 2.1m, 2.4m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLure weight range: 1–60g (variant dependent)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SeaKnight","offers":[{"title":"Spinning \/ 2.1m 4-21g M ML","offer_id":67601129144494,"sku":"14:29#Spinning;380:200007344#2.1m 4-21g M ML","price":164.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Spinning \/ 1.98m 1-8g UL L","offer_id":67601129177262,"sku":"14:29#Spinning;380:200007340#1.98m 1-8g UL L","price":164.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Spinning \/ 2.4m 7-28g M MH","offer_id":67601129210030,"sku":"14:29#Spinning;380:200007351#2.4m 7-28g M MH","price":164.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Spinning \/ 2.4m 4-21g M ML","offer_id":67601129242798,"sku":"14:29#Spinning;380:200007346#2.4m 4-21g M ML","price":164.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Spinning \/ 2.4m 15-60g MH H","offer_id":67601129275566,"sku":"14:29#Spinning;380:200007355#2.4m 15-60g MH H","price":164.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/5592\/2350\/files\/Se5cee866d25f46f7a0bcb59a7fb511f5Y.webp?v=1790706246","url":"https:\/\/castngo.com.au\/products\/seaknight-falcon-ii-dual-tip-lure-rod-30t-40t-carbon-ceramic-guides-two-power-tips-1-98-2-4m-spinning","provider":"Cast N Go","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
