Pocket Rocket

The original mini spod. Perfectly suited for use on any modern carp rod, the Pocket Rocket weighs between 2 and 3 ounces (60-85g) when filled with bait and water. The superb aerodynamic design ensures it can be accurately cast an amazing distance for its size. The super-bouyant nose cone means that the Pocket Rocket deposits the bait and floats 'nose up', so it can also be used as a marker float. Simply fill with bait and top up with lake water to reduce 'spod spill' and to keep the weight consistent and balanced, guaranteeing a true and accurate flight (a very useful feature when it comes to gaining a high degree of accuracy when baiting up). The solid design, with no holes, enables attractive liquid additives to be used. Colour: Yellow

Pocket Rocket XL

The larger payload of the XL Pocket Rocket means that this spod is better suited for baiting up with larger quantities of bait. The XL retains the same aerodynamic properties of the original Pocket Rocket, ensuring remarkable casting stability and balance. Its tapered body is designed to ensure consistent bait release every time. Due to its larger size, this spod is ideal for longer range tactics if coupled with a more powerful rod. All Gardner Pocket Rockets float as a marker and can be clearly seen despite strong ripples and all can be used with liquid additives. Colour: Yellow

Pocket Rocket XXL

The largest capacity Pocket Rocket of the range but without the bulk and weight associated with other big spods, the XXL is best suited for use with powerful carp and spod rods. These spods still cast like a dream with accuracy and stability in flight. Suited for quickly spodding large quantities of bait with the minimum fuss, the XXL Pocket Rocket is the ultimate spod for anglers that want to load up their swim with 'carp food'. All Gardner Pocket Rockets float as a marker and can be clearly seen despite strong ripples and all can be used with liquid additives. Also available in Mini and XL sizes. Colour: Yellow

Standard Suspender
A unique Gardner product, the Suspender is a hugely successful floater controller that catches the cagiest surface feeding carp thanks to its ingenious design. The Suspender allows the hooklink to be kept above the surface which means that fish do not see the silhouette of the hooklink drastically reducing the chances of fish turning away at the last moment.
The Suspender incorporates a counter weight at its base which means the controller is fished 'half cocked' and along with the hooklink swivel being tucked into the silicone sleeve at the top, bite indication is unmissable and takes are often highly explosive!Now even stronger with added tapered rubber sleeves to reinforce the stem.

XL Suspender
Based on the fantastic Suspender floater controller float, the XL is an extended version of the original but without the counter weight below the float body.
Designed to be used as an anchored floater set up, a running lead is placed on the mainline above the Suspender XL and when cast out, the line is tensioned so that the float is fished 'half cocked', keeping the hooklink well clear of the water at all times. As with the original Suspender, bait can be presented perfectly meaning fewer fish will turn away at the last second.
The rig also acts as an effective 'bolt rig' and bites are unmissable. Now even stronger with added tapered rubber sleeves to reinforce the stem. Beware - Crash Takes! Full Instructions included.

      

Super buoyant, close cell foam - ideal for balancing baits and rigs. Excellent when cut down and fished on a Zig Rig or other floater methods. The super buoyancy means Zig Rig hook baits can be kept smaller; a proven technique for catching out Carp that have been fished for with conventional baits on Zig Rigs in the past. Will absorb flavours for a steady leak rate. 12 x 28mm pieces per packet. Available in 4 colours: Red, Yellow, Black, White or Mixed Colours.

  

Braided Hair Needle

The Mugga offers unrivalled hooking potential when used with a variety of hooklink materials. This pattern has a proven track record for nailing wary feeding fish and then staying in them all the way to the angler's waiting net. The combination of an inturned eye, non-reversed bend, sweeping shank, strong forged wire and super sharp point has established the Mugga as a devastatingly reliable hook. The Size 12 has now become a firm favourite for use in Zig Rig fishing as an effective means of reducing the number of hook pulls commonly associated with this method.

Used and recommended by top anglers everywhere. Available in Sizes 6, 8, 10 and 12 in Barbed or Barbless.
10 hooks per pack.

 

Fishing with a Chod Rig is a supremely versatile method, ideal for presenting hook baits over a vast number of different lake and river beds. The Chod Rig has become massively popular in recent years but it can be tricky to tie so that it works effectively. Gardners professional rig tiers have been perfecting the art to ensure these ready tied Chod Rigs are spot on.

Features: D-Ceptor Hook - designed specifically for use with stiff and mono type hooklinks. 15lb Tripwire - the highly acclaimed stiff hook length material acts like a long curved rigid extension of the hook's shank which ensures that the hook turns and gains effective purchase. Anti Glare Flexi Ring Swivel is a small Size 12 and orientated the correct way so that the rig is free running on the leader and will sit straight. It is important to use baits that are buoyant enough to hold the hooklink up off the flexi ring swivel and when leadcore is not being used, simply balance with Critical Mass putty.

Tied in the UK to guarantee the highest standards. Always reliable and easy to use, our ready tied rigs are the convenient way to ensure ultimate presentation. Our rig tiers are real anglers who take great pride in their work, paying incredible attention to detail and taking the time and effort so you don't have to.

Available in Sizes 6 & 8 Barbed and Barbless.

As originally developed by Gardner's very own Lewis Read, the Weed Rake was born on the Car Park Lake at Yateley. Designed to be easily cast to clear small clear spots of weed and create clear channels to improve line lay to new and existing clear spots, the Weed Rake is invaluable and has lead to the capture of some of the largest Carp in the country.


All metal Brass and Steel construction will never break. Only 3 ounces (85g), it is a very comfortable weight to cast.
Supplied with a large split ring and swivel for attachment to main line. Green Anti Rust coating. Width = 15cm (6"), Body Length = 4cm (1.5").

Top Tip - use a strong braid such as 50lb Braid and begin clearing the channel to your chosen spot from the end nearest to your swim first. The weed rake picks up very large quantities of weed if cast behind a band of weed so be careful not to lose the rake and braid by being 'over ambitious' in trying to rake in too much heavy weed in one go.
