Another Gardner first - this dedicated casting glove has been specially designed for spod casting, braid users and long range casting with fixed spool reels. Available for both left and right hands.

Double skin leather index finger and padded anti-slip palm so that when spod mix is on the rod handle it won't slip your grip on the big chuck. These gloves have proven popular with beach anglers and top fixed spool tournament casters like Danny Moeskops.

One size fits most people. Colour: Black.

  

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

New and improved AND cheaper! We've improved the design to give a more secure attachment...a stronger, longer lasting float. 2 sizes available & Twin Pack. A high quality, slim bodied, flighted balsa marker float that offers the discerning angler the greatest buoyancy for its size of any float you can buy.

The design of the Pencil Marker Float will ensure that it remains the benchmark for years to come.

The Standard size is a great all round marker float for general use, or for ultra-long range where the slim aerodynamic design helps casting. The Large size is ideal for use at long range (because it is more visible) or in weed where extra buoyancy helps the marker rise to the surface.

Handmade in the E.U. Casts like a dream. Its lightweight 'darted' construction ensures pin point accuracy and tangle free long range casts. Extra long swivel attachment loop is deeply embedded into the balsa body to prevent the swivel from falling off (a common problem with alternative balsa floats). Dark green body and day-glo orange tip for optimum visibility in low light levels.
Standard - Length=20.5cm, Diameter(body)=1cm, (flights)=3.5cm. Large - Length=22.5cm, Diameter(body)=1.6cm, (flights)=3.5cm

   

The No.1 Big Water Marker. Formed from toughened, high visibility, fluorescent orange, moulded plastic. The H-Blok comes supplied with 70ft (22m) of strong line attached to a foldable lead strip. Simply drop the weight off the H-Blok and the line will automatically unwind off the float until the lead reaches the bottom, ensuring the marker is always fixed at the correct depth.

Always floats directly above the lead - the clever H shape design guarantees the marker will stay where it is put, despite strong currents and waves, enabling extremely accurate baiting time and time again. The ultra bright fluoro orange colour is highly visible even in poor light conditions, with strong ripples and at long range.

Length=12cm, Width=11cm, Depth=3.5cm.

 

A mini version of the popular H-Blok big water marker float ideal for smaller waters (as well as the larger inland seas), bait boats and rowing boats.

Formed from toughened, high visibility, fluorescent orange, moulded plastic. Lead drops to the bottom whilst the Mini H-Blok unwinds to the exact depth, every time. Always floats directly above the lead - the clever H shape design guarantees the marker will stay where it is put, despite strong currents and waves, enabling extremely accurate baiting time and time again.
Use a 3oz lead and sufficient mono or braid to reach the bottom. The ultra bright fluoro orange colour is highly visible even in
poor light conditions, with strong ripples and at long range. Can be camo painted, if required, to disguise the baited area.

Length=6cm, Width=5.5cm, Depth=1.75cm (exactly half the size of the normal H-Blok).

  

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 original 'braid friendly' ballpoint crochet type needle. The needle has been designed to retract through the bait into the handle leaving perfect sized hair loops every time. As used and recommended by Ian Russell of Heathrow Baits Services for use with their 'baby boilies' as the fine diameter means it will not split small and delicate hookbaits. Possibly the safest baiting needle to use, the Gardner Braided Hair Needle has become an iconic piece of carp angling hardware.

Available with either Green or Black handle. Rounded crochet point does not easily pierce skin. Retractable design for added safety and to prevent damage to needle. Ergonomic Easi Grip handle with Posi Pip Thumb button for use in the dark and lanyard hole for keyring attachment. Stainless Steel needle. Manufactured in the UK.

XL Braided Hair Needle

Extra Long version of 'old faithful', the Braided Hair Needle. Possibly the safest baiting needle to use, these needles have become an iconic piece of carp angling hardware. Extra long needle allows use with double baits or super sized single hookbaits and hard baits. Alignment Cup enables holes to be punched centrally each time, easily and effectively. 'Braid friendly' ballpoint crochet type needle retracts through the bait into the handle leaving perfect sized hair loops every time. Fine diameter needle means it will not split small and delicate hookbaits. Rounded crochet point does not easily pierce skin.

Retractable design for added safety and to prevent damage to 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.

 

Very strong, expanding bait bands - perfect for attaching all boilies, particles, floaters, etc. to the hook shank or D-Rig ring. Use the smaller bands on baits up to 14mm diameter.

Quick dissolving floating foam has a multitude of uses including protecting hook points in weed or snags, showing the position of a rig after casting, preventing tangles when casting long hairs, making Spitback rigs, etc. Also used to pack spods to prevent bait spillage during long casts. Large resealable slider bag can be reused time and time again. Biodegradable foam is environmentally friendly. Contains free 'session pot'. Net weight = approx 50g of foam.

The 'Big Daddy' of them all, the Rolaball Baitmaster will roll enough bait to start a business, which is why Gardner supply so many specialist bait firms with Baitmasters of every size.

With a little practice you can produce about 80 baits at a stroke, perfectly formed and exactly to your specification. The top section is fitted with Easi-Grip handles and the base can be fixed to a board or work surface. Length=51cm (20"), Width=38cm (15"). Available from 10mm to 24mm.

    

Developed from the original Rolaball, the Longbase allows a longer 'stroke' when forming the baits for a nice, smooth, round finish every time.

Made from high impact A.B.S. with rubber feet to resist wear and tear, the Longbase will produce good quantities of bait and pay for itself in no time. Be sure to use the correct size sausage made from either a Rolling Table or a Sausage Gun. Available in sizes from 12mm to 24mm. Length=30cm, Width=15cm, Height=4cm.

    

By popular demand from the Tench and Barbel guys Gardner created the Mini Boilie Rolaball 8mm and now it has become a favourite with Carp anglers, especially for stalking. Includes its own sausage rolling table moulded on the back. Length=13cm, Width=11cm, Height=2.5cm.

Comes complete with 8 different sized nozzles which can be trimmed if required. Suitable for all but the hardest mixes. Capacity 300ml.

This big, metal Sausage Gun is the way to go if you intend to make larger quantities of bait. Like the Baitmaster tables, The Deluxe Sausage Gun is used by a number of specialist bait firms all around the world.

The trigger mechanism, plunger and push cam are all 'beefed up' to cope with regular or professional use and the tough metal barrel has a much larger capacity than the standard Sausage Gun. Comes complete with 8 different sized nozzles which can be trimmed if required. Capacity 600ml.

The same basic internals as the Deluxe Sausage Gun but with a different cam to provide lower gearing on the compression stroke makes the XT Gun much easier on the wrists - especially with those harder mixes.


A word of caution here; there is a practical limit to how hard a mix can be extruded through a gun, even a tough metal one. If you are having to squeeze the trigger too hard then the mix is too stiff and will be difficult to roll anyway. Capacity 600ml.

Spare parts for all guns are sold separately:

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.
