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.

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.

5 of 5 Husband is THRILLED! November 2, 2022
Reviewer: Sarita Johnston from SODDY DAISY, TN United States  
I purchased both these rods for my husband and he is overwhelmed!  He has St Croix and Fenwick rods and says these are even more impressive, besides the cost, the customer service is great!  I ordered him a reel combo and reel did not come in with rods so next day in the mail, we received 2 reels!  We didn't expect that, but this is the type company they are, Family Owned, and it shows, as we own our own business as well!  Thank you

4 of 5 Wilderness rod - spinning June 3, 2022
Reviewer: Robert Annalora from Portland, OR United States  
I received the rods in a card board tube. The tube was crushed by the carrier and broke the longer rod but the shorter rod escaped breakage.    The freight damage was not Gapen’s fault and they said they would replace the broken rod. I sent picture of how I got the crushed case and broken in half rod.  They seem like a stand up company.     Now to the rod.  The rod, as all the rods in this series are touted to be the most sensitive spinning rods. That is why I bought them. Well, I took it fishing the first time and boy was it!!   I got 5 touches in the hour I was fishing, but due to how sensitive  it was, I hooked all five!!    Additionally, the eyelet wrappings were a beautiful green and coated perfect.  It is a very handsome rod.   For the money I recommend getting at least one.   I would however, suggest that I would be happy to pay a bit more to have them shipped in metal tubes like a fly rod to protect the rods.  At least offer the case as an add on.
