Carp

Quickdraw Unhooking Mats The ESP Quickdraw mats can be transformed in literally seconds from a flat mat to a cradle by simply tightening the drawcord at each end which raises the sides around the central padded base, providing extra protection to lively carp. No zips, no Velcro, no assembly job!

An excellent needle, retracts into its own handle to prevent injury.

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.

These high grade, precision ground stainless steel blades have been manufactured to work superbly on both braided and monofilament fishing lines. They cut through any coated hooklink, copolymer line, Fluorocarbon or Dyneema braid cleanly and easily.These blades have been thoroughly tested by Gardner Tackle’s in house team of rig tiers and work brilliantly even after prolonged use.

This floating recovery sling is designed for retaining the fish for a few minutes while prepping the camera equipment and allowing the fish time to recover before release. The large side vents enable fresh water to flow through the sling freely.

Goo Phase One This was the phase that launched the Goo onto an eager carp world. It contains some Goos that have become absolute classic bait enhancers already! Here's a rundown! PINEAPPLE SUPREME This is one of the most popular and effective Goos. It's perfect as a hook bait glaze - especially when dried on and reapplied. Keep rolling, coating, rolling, coating and drying. Each layer will give you increased leakage time. Use the Supreme version to cut into the core of the bait and the Power Smoke to coat the outside of the bait, to give you that bonbon effect. PINEAPPLE POWER SMOKE The Pineapple Power Smoke is brilliant when applied directly to PVA sticks. If you’re fishing a runs water and you want to get some attraction into the water quickly then coating sticks works well. You can use it on zigs. The South Africans actually dry this stuff onto their zig foam. TUTTI POWER SMOKE Much of the things that apply to the Pineapple Power Smoke also apply to the Tutti one will do too. The major differences would be things like pH. The Pineapple Power is acidic and has a real impact on various waters. It's PVA friendly most of the year, but always remember to shake the bottle well to distribute the ingredients evenly. It's best during the warmer months, when the weather gets up to 15 or 16 degrees, so spring and summer really. CO TWIST This is an extremely natural, extremely sweet, yet subtle Goo. It’s classified as a Bait Smoke but doesn’t have the intensity of colour of some of the others. It’s not just restricted to use with hook baits, you can add it to ground baits, watered down, roll mixers in it or even glaze freebies with it. It lends itself brilliantly to zig spod mixes, it can be used in combinations on hook baits but I really do like to use it on my loose feed. Don't put a whole bottle in, add a little bit and make a nice soupy syrup with some water in a bucket and add that to your particle mixture, or glaze your boilies with it, really enhancing what you’re doing, compared to the guy next door. PERFECT PEACH This one first burst onto the scene when Pete Holehouse used it to win the UK Carp Champs. He used it solely in his spod mix when spodding over zigs and he found that he actually spodded less and kept the fish there for longer than he ever had when spodding over zigs. He was fishing face-to-face with another angler and was putting out half the amount of spods and catching more fish. You can add it to water to get it into the spod mix, or add it straight onto your particles. RASPBERRY PLUME This thick Goo has become famed for its use with floaters. All you need to do is dilute a small amount of Plume in a bucket and coat your floating pellets or mixers. When they soak it up, you'll be left with a super-attractive bait. Add it to your hemp or your chopped boilies and you’re adding another dimension of taste. If you’re struggling to get fish feeding, then try the Raspberry Plume.

Size 8 Swivel The humble swivel completes the whole rig set up and since it is almost the last connection between you and the carp it needs to be reliable. We always bought swivels from the same source, until our suppliers’ supplier merged with a new company. The stocks were mixed and some were not as good quality so we immediately set about sourcing an alternative.

Mainline Clones Barrel Wafters can be used in any fishing situation, although they are primarily designed to complement particle baits and spod mix feeds to offer a 'match the hatch' presentation with enhanced flavour and attraction.

A landing net is an essential tool for the safe handling and care of your prized catch. Adding a landing net to your gear is one of the most responsible things you can do as an angler. Using a landing net may look easy and it is, but there's a skill to safely scooping and minimising any stress to your fish. The golden rule is to guide the fish to the waiting net, and not the other way around. This net is perfect to use when travelling light and will easily handle species of up to and around 8 to 10lbs in weight.

Fish Sauce Bait Soak This totally natural liquid packs a punch with fermented anchovy extract, salt and sugar, giving it a pungent, salty-sweet kick that fish seem to find difficult to resist. Our version is human-grade (it’s used in Thai cooking), which means it’s the very best available, and is extremely effective when mixed in with particles during preparation. As well as a particle soak, Fish Sauce makes a great glaze for boilies and pellets, giving them a unique boost. It’s a thin liquid that is extremely soluble, meaning that it releases its attractor payload very soon after your bait enters the water.

We all know some days one colour of hookbait gets you all your bites and the on another day it’s a different colour. Have you ever wondered why that is?  Each pot of Tones contains a washed-out version and a more ‘solid’ coloured version of each hookbait giving the angler two different tones of the same hookbait. This enables them to subtly change only the visibility of their hookbait as light levels vary and affect how sight-feeding fish respond to colours & tones in your swim.

Ester Cream Tones Wafters We all know some days one colour of hookbait gets you all your bites and the on another day it’s a different colour. Have you ever wondered why that is?  Each pot of Tones contains a washed-out version and a more ‘solid’ coloured version of each hookbait giving the angler two different tones of the same hookbait. This enables them to subtly change only the visibility of their hookbait as light levels vary and affect how sight-feeding fish respond to colours & tones in your swim.  Each hookbait in the Tones range contains a complex blend of highly soluble fish-attracting esters, additives and essential oils which together trigger an instant investigatory response from fish through intensively stimulating their chemical, taste and aroma ‘receptors’.

Chod Rigs are one of the best methods of presenting Pop-ups over weedy, silty lake beds with lots of detritus (chod) on the bottom. For optimum efficiency the rig uses ultra sharp Stiff Rigger hooks, Stiff Bristle Filament and a smoothly rotating Japanese Uni Link Swivel. The whipping knot on ESP Chod Rigs grips the hook very tightly ensuring the Bristle Filament comes off the hook dead in line with the shank. The combination of a high quality smoothly rotating Uni Link Swivel and a subtle curved ‘set’ to the Bristle Filament means that whichever way carp approach the hookbait the rig will spin round resulting in a secure hook hold in the bottom lip virtually every time.
