Product Information
Full details
The Gardner GTN Landing Net is designed for dedicated carp anglers who require a reliable, lightweight, and durable tool for securing large catches. It features a robust 6ft two-piece carbon handle and a spacious 42-inch olive green mesh, offering a perfect balance of strength and portability. While the two-piece design allows for easier transport, it requires careful assembly at the bank to ensure the joints are fully seated for maximum integrity during high-pressure netting.

FAQs
Is the handle compatible with other net heads?
The Gardner GTN handle uses a standard thread size, but it is optimized for use with the included Gardner net head.
How do I store the mesh to avoid smells?
Always hang the mesh to dry in a ventilated area away from direct sunlight before placing it back into the carry bag.
Can the handle be used as a single section?
The GTN handle is designed as a two-piece unit and is intended to be used at its full 6ft length for proper balance.
Is the mesh safe for fish?
Yes, the nylon mesh is designed to be soft and fish-friendly, minimizing stress during the landing process.
What should I do if the spreader block gets jammed?
Rinse the block in clean water to clear out any sand or grit; do not force it if you feel resistance.
Troubleshooting
Handle sections are stuck together
Clean the joint area with a damp cloth to remove grit and apply a tiny amount of dry lubricant if necessary.
Spreader block feels loose
Check that the net arms are inserted fully and that no silt is obstructing the connection point.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the Gardner GTN, firmly slot the two handle sections together, ensuring they are pushed home securely. Slide the net arms into the heavy-duty spreader block until they click or lock into place. To care for the net, always rinse the mesh with clean water after each session to remove silt, algae, and fish slime, which can degrade the nylon fibers over time. Store the net in the provided carry bag only after it has been allowed to air dry completely to prevent mold or odors. Periodically check the spreader block for any debris and inspect the carbon handle joints for grit, as small particles can cause wear to the connection points.
