I have purchased various fishing rods, for myself and as gifts, from Gapen in the past. Awesome fishing rods. Excellent service.
Rod was shipped with care to prevent damage, it did not seem to be a MH rod to me, It seemed like a Medium action rod. also it looked like there were two different type of line guides on the rod,with different ceramic coatings. And unfortunately the Sensitivity was not in my experience the best in the world as billed.
Awesome Rod
Great products
Very good company to do business with!

I fish the Intercoastal waters of Florida. This rod performed as advertised. I had a great day today and enjoyed your rod. Thank you
Well built and very sensitive rod at a great price. This rod performs as well and better in some cases than other more expensive casting rods I have. I also have a medium Gapen spinning rod that I'm very happy with. Both great "All Rounders". Thanks Gapen Co.!
I purchased my first Gapen rod to catch large catfish on the river. This rod is so sensitive you can feel everything and it will handle whatever gets on the end of it. It cast great and the only thing I don’t like is the single foot guides but that’s just me. This is my first rod but it won’t be my last. Try one you will love it.
After battling a 180# tarpon on one of your 7' Med spinning rods for over 2 hours the first rod I thought of to match up with a new baitcasting reel was one of the Dan Gapen Wilderness Rods. As always the rod is high quality. Also can't wait to use the new Spin Bees and Flick Flies I bought at the Schaumburg Fishing show this past January.
I bought 5 spinning rods for my charter business a few years ago, and liked them so much, not I bought some spin casting rods of the same materials. Good sensitive rods with some backbone!
The casting rod is exactly what I was looking for at a good price point and deserves 5 stars. However, I would have appreciated an email communication following the purchase notifying me that the product had shipped with tracking information. The lack of which cost Gapen a star.
I have used st. Croix rods in the past and the Gapen rod is now my favorite by far.
I have three of your rods. I bought my other two at the Cleveland Sports show. Both of these are spinning rods and made in the U.S.A. thank you for that. I have not had the chance to use the casting rod yet but if its like the other two i have know doubt i will love it. Great quality!!!
Thanks again
