Gardner Tackle

These clear-bodied controllers are attachable on top or bottom, and are red tipped for visibility.

The Flatliner controller floats have been designed to lie flat on the surface and as such are far less obtrusive to surface feeding fish than traditional cocked floater controllers, whilst still giving the option of either presentation. Available in packs of 3 - small, medium and large - and coloured dark green so as not to stand out as a suspicious object by Mr Carp, the Flatliners cast extremely straight and accurately and have proven to be more effective, catching more Carp than other controllers currently available.

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.

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!

A high visibility line marker/stop knot braid, Knot It has been designed to be used specifically as a distance marker. Using a sliding stop knot, tie it to your mainline at the correct place to 'mark' the range of a 'hot spot' so your end tackle can be accurately recast, time and time again. Available on 10m spools. Colours: Neon Yellow or Neon Orange.

Superb, easy to fit, luminous marker float adaptors perfect for feature finding after dark. There are 2 types available: Screw-on or Glue-on. Essential when trying to recast or position your hookbait accurately in low light conditions. Simply charge for a few moments with the Gardner UV Torch or a camera flash to give you 10-15 minutes glow time.
Screw-On Glo Worms include a self-tapping screw enabling them to be mounted on to any moulded plastic, balsa or polystyrene marker floats. Using a 1.5mm drill (eg. Gardner Nut Drill), score a hole in the desired position and screw in, securing the Glo Worm in place. You can add glue if necessary.
Glue-On Glo Worms are designed to fit easily onto flighted markers and vein floats. Simply slot on to the flights and glue on securely.
Sold in pairs with or without the UV Torch.
Length= 35mm, Diameter=8mm

Keyring size UV Torch perfect for charging up luminous products such as the Glo Worms and Fluoro Rocket. A Very handy little gadget!

Apart from sunlight the UV Torch is the best way to charge luminous items like Glo Worms, Nite Glow Baits and the Fluoro Spod. Hold the Torch close to the object to be 'charged' (about 3-5cm away is best) for 15-30 seconds, rotating the object if necessary for best coverage. With large objects such as the Fluoro Rocket simply direct the beam onto the nose which will shop up best on the surface after dropping your bait. Caution: Do not shine directly into eyes.

Dart shaped, self cocking pair of Marker Floats made from extra tough material for lasting performance. The aerodynamic design flies smoothly for great casting enhances the float's buoyancy ensuring it will pop up when necessary. 2 floats per pack - one day-glo orange, one matt black - giving the angler the best possible options for any given light conditions. Each marker comes supplied with one link swivel. Length=14cm, Width/Depth=3cm at widest point.

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.
