I caught my personal best muskie today. My Gunnison 8 weight was put to the test and passed with flying colors. Great Rod!!!

​

Outstanding product with even better customer service. I broke my 3 weight rod tip ( great policy of 2 rod tips ). San Juan was willing to ASAP out new tip if I needed it. I can’t say enough good about the incredible customer service I received after the sale. It is very reassuring to know that SanJuan backs their outstanding rods with such great customer support. I am now a lifetime customer and very enthusiastic supporter of San Juan rod works.

I’m a full time guide and have fished with several high end rods over the years. After fishing the Gunnison rod, made by San Juan Rod Works, I have put two of these rods, 6 weights, in my boat. They have been great rods for beginner fly fisherman and experienced fly fisherman alike. They throw line very well and are very forgiving. My clients have loved them. They have also become my go two rods for my own fishing. The staff at San Juan Rod Works have been quick to respond and very easy to work with. These rods are very high quality and I would compare them to any high end rods. San Juan Rod Works hit a home run with this rod. Highly recommended. If you are in the market for a new fishing rod give them a try. You won’t be disappointed.

I received my new SJRodworks Gunnison 9’ 5wt and put it though its paces on the San Juan this week. I was concerned that the Gunnison might be to fast a rod for me, since I was used to a medium action rod, and I fish mostly dry flies. But I have to say it was perfect! Just right for casting in windy and not so windy conditions, and perfect for working in the fat rainbows and browns on the Juan. It’s a great rod, beautifully made, casts like butter, and an excellent value proposition to boot.

I, and all my guides have made a remarkable discovery - San Juan Rods. Seriously, I put these rods up against some of the best and they come out on top. AND, you get a lifetime no hassle warranty, an extra rod tip, case, 30 day demo, I MEAN, COME ON NOW, WHAT ELSE COULD YOU ASK FOR. Buy one, put it up against your favorite rod and see what you think. My guess is you'll keep the San Juan and ditch the old one. What have you got to lose.

Fished SanJuan Rodworks “GUNNISON” 5 wt. rod on the upper Gunnison River (Almont, Colorado to the town of Gunnison, Colorado) June 13, 2021. Threw dries all evening from anchored/floating in my drift boat. Very happy with performance of new rod. Lifts line well; fast action shoots an accurate presentation where intended. Great workmanship. Can’t wait to try a 6 wt. “GUNNISON “ with dry/dropper rig.

I have been fishing the Gunnison 6wt on the Green River, throwing cicadas and other large dries. The weather on the Green can be tricky but this rod handled the elements like a pro. Quality rod and outstanding customer service.

I finally had the chance to use the fly rod I bought from your company, it is the frying pan 9 ft. 5 wt. and was able to land a 24in 5 lbs. brown. This rod has plenty of back bone. Keep up the good work!!!

Just recently bought the Gunnison 9’ 6wt. and out of the box felt great, Got to use it on Utah Green River this past week, 14 Sep 2021 and it performed beyond expectations. Even the Drift Boat guide was impressed and is looking to get some. Rod easily held up to the 20”+ Browns I was fortunate enough to land. Great rod. Thanks.

What great rods at a great price! I purchased 3 rods back in March. We have 8wt Gunnisen and Fryingpans for momma and I to fish Snook and Red Fish. The kids have a 6wt fryingpan to learn and enjoy the water with us. The price per rod allowed me to buy 3 for the family instead of 1 for me. I paired all 3 with Cheeky pre-spooled reels. Both have performed really well and taken our saltwater environment without issue. And let's just say the kids aren't as easy on them as my wife and I are..... (They've already used the extra tip that came with the rod...) Well worth the dollars spent.

I recently purchased a Gunnison 9' 6wt fly rod, and have used it on two trips to the San Juan River. I have been pleased with the quality of the rod, and the "feel" of the rod in my hand. The action of the rod is smooth and predictable and my casts seem more accurate than with other rods I own. So far, I am very pleased with my Gunnison!

   Timothy Williams - New Mexico

I got the Gunnison 9' 5 weight and boy is it nice. It's windy many days in New Mexico on the San Juan River but this rod shoots the line through the wind with minimal effort. If you are looking for a good quality rod at a great price then San Juan Rodworks is where you should be shopping. And thanks guys for the quick delivery.

I recently picked up a Gunnison 8 weight to throw streamers and large dries.  I was little worried that this rod would not throw like my high end rods, I am not worried anymore.  This is my new favorite rod.  It is stiff enough to throw long casts in the wind but it also has some feel.  Great work SJR

If the rods fish as well as the customer service, shipping, and rod appearance has been I am in for a great season.. Can't wait to get my line wet. Please continue, as a company, to under promise and over deliver. I will follow up after my first big fish. So far San Juan Rodworks has definitely over delivered.

Received my Gunnison 5 Wt about a month ago and have had it out on the water 3 times. The rod has performed flawlessly and casts as well as some of my other rods that cost significantly more. Great rod for the money.

Found this company online and was intrigued by what they have to offer. Spoke with Gary about what I was looking for and he took the time to explain what makes their company different from some of the others out there. Decided to give one a try and I'm glad I did. Having the opportunity to demo the rod for 30 days risk free made it a no brainer. Will be purchasing more products from them in the future.

I'm not a seasoned fly fisherman, but was taught by my best friend that passed about 10 years ago. He left me his Scott Rod and beautiful Ross Reel which he used to use off the Lake Fork of the Gunnison in both public and private waters. I finally made a trip to Taos NM to fish the headwaters of the Rio Grande this past year. I took my Scott Rod and my San Juan Rod Works Rod, after going through the suggested rod options. We were in about 2-3 feet of mid-moving water and casting dry flies and nymphs in about 4-6 feet of water. Perhaps it was my old friend in my head or just a beautiful day on the water. I landed 4 with my Scott and another 6 with my San Juan Rod. I found them both to be quality rods and very easy to cast in light breeze conditions with zero restriction in terms of space. Think I'll make the transition to fish with the my San Juan Rod Works Rod on the San Juan River this year. Thank you for taking the time to help me select the rod that was best suited to my needs. Bring on the Rainbows!!!

I would highly recommend buying your next rod from San Juan Rodworks. They are well made, they are a family owned company, and have phenomenal Customer Service. My rod came in faster than I expected! They also offer a lifetime warranty which you can’t find anywhere!

   Kyle Chamas - New Mexico

​

Quality rod at a great price! Service was excellent. Shipping was fast too. Can't wait for many more river outings with this set-up. Thanks!

   Christopher Heslin - New Mexico

​

Was looking for a rod in this price range. Found this company online and decided to give them a try since I could try the rod for 30 days and send it back if I didn't like it. The way they handle their warranty was also a factor in my decision. Ordered a Fryingpan 4 wt and have used it several times. I'll definitely be keeping it. Keep up the good work San Juan Rodworks. Appreciate what you're doing.

The rods and service I received have been awesome! Excellent quality and they arrived quickly, too!

   Brian Lyle - New Mexico

Received my first rod from San Juan Rodworks. Love the performance and quality, especially for the price! Absolutely comparable to other rods that cost twice as much. Can't say enough about the outstanding customer service as well! Highly recommended!
