Carp Fishing – Specialist Sharpened Hooks -Video
Since their introduction in January 2018, our amazing ‘Specialist Sharpened’ hook range has literally flown off the shelves.

Each and every hook is honed personally by the maestro, Jason Hayward, and individually capped to keep that perfect razor sharp point in absolutely pristine condition. We are pleased to announce that after a gargantuan effort by Jason, we have built up stocks of these exquisitely hand sharpened hooks so we can keep up with demand.

Here's a sneaky preview detailing the forth coming Tungsten Ultra Sink skinned hooklink material, in which our Product Development Manager Lewis summarises the main details and benefits of this super heavy, fast sinking hooklink material.

Carp Fishing – Pro-Pela XL Throwing Stick – Video
Lewis Read introduces our new Pro-Pela XL Throwing Stick. Available now from all good Gardner Tackle stockists.
After three harsh frosts and sightings dwindling to a minimum, I’d decided that my autumn campaign in search of the Coconut Common had come to an end. Having fished the lake before with no cold-water bite, I felt like my chances were realistically slim to none...
My plan worked and I had another very good fish in the net. I took some shots, did a bit more filming, got him back in the water and then let him go. Once more I was feeling great with an amazing experience with a very old friend. Man, I love carp fishing all on my own. These are memories that will last a life-time.
The carp we all fish for are often under constant pressure so I personally choose to take every possible opportunity to disguise my trap, all the way from the rod tip to the hook bait. However, to what level I go is also dependent on several key factors that change from swim to swim.
By the age of 5, I was bugging my dad every weekend to go fishing. Rain or shine, snow or hail, it didn’t matter to me I just wanted to be outside next to the water. I still remember what he used to say to me “when you can swim, then I’ll take you” so I learnt to swim pretty sharpish...
We are all guilty of setting up in a swim and hoping it will happen at some point in the day, but sometimes it doesn't. Therefore, it is not always best to put all your eggs in one basket. One key technique for maximising opportunities is to bait a few margin spots around the lake, on the off chance an extra opportunity appears.
The fish took a bit of line on solid runs that I wasn’t going to even try and stop, even if I could. I gained a bit of ground before it took off again. As the fight drew nearer to the bank, I lowered my other two rods to get them out of the way and after one final burst I slid the net under the fish before taking a look inside.
