Johnny Wilkins of the USA Fishing team is so excited about this rod as it is one of the first, best float casting rods ever created! "If you float fish, you have to use this rod. It casts like a dream, picks up line quickly and when you play a fish, you will feel every move and turn - putting you in control. This rod is so accurate because of the kevlar wraps high up the rod blank. Stop with the whippy noodle rods and rods meant for crappie - this is a real float fishing rod! Thank you Dan & Bobber Anne!"

Gapen's NEW Wilderness 10' Rod is made of Boeing aircraft grade carbon and is the finest material component rod on the market. Fishes like a dream because it was designed and created by the most talented rod builder and hall of fame fisherman. 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.

This Gapen Wilderness Rod the Gapen 10 (and new 9 ft. models) use the highest-quality graphite carbon (Boeing) float fishing rod great for spin casting, steelhead, crappie, carp, trout, bluegill, suckers, or catfish rod this sensitive and strong kevlar reinforced carbon rod is used by Dan Gapen - it's his go-to fishing rod.

Select this great spinning rod and add the touch and hook-setting speed that a quality graphite rod puts in your hands. For casting spinners, bobbers, floats, jigging, and live bait rigs to feel the lightest tap of any finicky perch, shy-biting walleye or panfish, and to get the jump on lightning-quick trout bites, you will love the feel, speed and touch of this graphite spinning rod. Hook-setting power from the length and power of the rod base will put a hook into a steelhead's lip, or pump a hook point into a carp, catfish or sucker at long distance.

Great Carbon Spinning Rod for All Sizes of Fish

This rod is so versatile. I fish it for light-biting rainbow trout as well as beefy fish like 20 lb. Steelhead salmon, fat carp in the 20 lb. class as well as crappie and bluegill. Because the rod is light but infused by carbon and kevlar, this rod has power to play with the big boys. The rod is designed to take the place of two different rods. A light spin casting rod great for walleye and light tapping fish and a heavy rod used for brute-force fish. Great rod for travel for fishing structure, crappie fishing letdowns and fish cribs. Fantastic carbon steelhead and river rod for fishing bottom and the ultimate touch rod for jigging structure.

Best Float Fishing Rod blanks will improve your casting, speed up your hook set and give you sensitivity and feel like you have never experienced in a rod. Dan Gapen fishes this spinning rod to feel the lightest bite as kevlar carbon raps transfer touch from your fishing line and hook to your rod top and right to your fingers. Gapen rods are mostly designed one-piece for superior touch, feel and power - at an affordable cost.

Super Sensitive Long Spinning Rod

Dan Gapen demonstrated for me how even a 10' spinning rod could have a super sensitive touch. He also showed me that 2-piece rods can still transmit the bite and structure to a fisherman's fingers. This 10' (and 9' version) rod transmits the tiniest ticks from a jig touching a rod, fish crib branch or weed. I can jig fish this 10' rod on structure and work a jig around it. I loose less jigs but also hook way more fish. The touch is incredible on any of the Gapen Wilderness rods. I loose far fewer jigs because I can feel the difference between a light fish tap and a tiny branch. As a fisherman, having touch on a rod is important all the time. Don't let the big ones get away.

High quality construction at a great price, the Gapen Wilderness Rod series puts high performance in your hands for much less money and a replacement warranty to boot. So affordable, you can purchase two or three Gapen spinning rods for the price of one of the more commercial brands. No matter how you might break your rod, you are always covered by our warranty replacement service (see below). Many anglers pick two of the same rods to have extra spinning rod rigs, extra live bait set-ups ready and to have a back-up rod in case of a break. Although we thing you will love this spinning rod so much that you wouldn't think of breaking one, accidents happen. No need to stop fishing if you have a back-up rod, grab two Gapen Wilderness spinning rods and throw, throw, throw to score more fish, feel more bites and or set more hooks on your favorite waters.

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. - Hall of Fame Angler Dan Gapen Sr.

Don't let the Best Float Fishing Rod rod be the one that got away, try one and get to your walleye rod, perch stick or trout rod working your favorite water. Upgrade to a Gapen Wilderness rod and feel the great hook set touch and action only a kevlar carbon-laced wrap can offer. Fast action, powerful response and the rod backbone that Dan Gapen demands in his spin casting rod. Hook a rainbow trout, stop a perch from emptying your jig or rip a crappie off the top of structure with our spinning rod and see for yourself. These rods go quickly - if you have a friend, order two so you always have a spare nearby (if they will let you borrow it ever).

Similar in sensitivity and strength to the graphite blanks of the past, these NEW rods carry a friendly and fair lifetime replacement warranty. Your Gapen Rod will be replaced for HALF it's retail price due to "ANY" manufacturer defect or customer breakage.
