Most Sensitive Fishing Rod - Kevlar Carbon-Laced Graphite

WILDERNESS SPIN ROD by Gapen
Most Sensitive Fishing Rod - Gapen Wilderness Series fishing rod is an unbelievable value. Don't be fooled by rod manufacturers who boast of 70 & 80 million modulus cloth in their rods! To be safe, ask them what percentage (%) of 70 or 80 million modulus their rods contain?? If they are honest, most will answer that their rods contain less than 20% of the claimed material.


Gapen's NEW Kevlar carbon laced graphite, along with the NEW hard wrap graphite cloth, has allowed these NEW Wilderness Fishing Rods to come to the angler at a much lower retail price.

Buying TIP: 2nd Rod Ships Free. It is best to have a back-up rod on trips that is the same as the other you are fishing. Nothing worse than losing a rig or rod with no back-up when the fishing is getting good!

Rod POWER.All gapen rods fish like two rods. You can fish light-biting ultra-light species and the rods all have power underneath. When you get into big fish, these rods are built to still have the power to play the big beasties. These are the lightest, most-sensitive yet powerful rod blanks you can fish. Use the same rod for small trout to medium pike without switching rods! Saves room in packing and allows you to use the same rod with heavier lines or a lighter touch. They all fish braid or mono with highest quality guides.

Most Sensitive Fishing Rod - Feel the Taps. Natural Cork Handles - Blank runs all the way through handle. Fuji Titanium guides are tough and will fish braid, firewire.

5 of 5 Quick efficient delivery December 27, 2024
Reviewer: Mark Reel from McCullom Lake, IL United States  
I have a few of your spinning rods. I like them. Really enjoyed talking to Mr. Gapen when I purchased them at a show several years ago. So I order this latest one for one of my daughter's. For her Christmas present. Arrived on time in great shape. Thank you.

1 of 5 Not Satisfied May 10, 2023
Reviewer: Matt from Michigan  
My rod broke the very first time I took it out. I’ve never broken a rod in my life so needless to say I am not satisfied. Now I’m out a rod unless I ship the broken one back and pay half the price of a new one? I will just put that money to use buying a quality product.
