Product Information
Full details
The Gardner GTN Landing Net is designed specifically for carp anglers who require a robust, reliable tool for landing large fish safely. Featuring a 50-inch wide olive green mesh and a durable 6ft 2-piece carbon handle, this net offers the perfect balance of strength and maneuverability. While the lightweight construction makes it easy to handle on the bank, the large 50-inch span requires extra awareness when fishing in tightly snagged or highly vegetated swims.

Troubleshooting
Difficulty inserting net arms into spreader block
Ensure no grit or debris is inside the spreader block sockets and check that the arms are pushed in straight.

Mesh snagging on spreader block
Check that the mesh is properly routed around the arms and not twisted before submerging.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-strength carbon handle for reliable performance
- Large 50-inch reach is ideal for specimen carp
- Shrink grip provides excellent handling in wet conditions
- Easy to assemble and breakdown for storage
- Neutral olive green color helps keep fish calm
Cons
- Large 50-inch head may be cumbersome in very small, tight swims
- 2-piece handle design is slightly longer when packed than a 3-piece option
- Requires proper drying to prevent odors, typical of all mesh nets
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To assemble the net, align the two sections of the carbon handle until the joint is fully seated. Slide the net arms into the heavy-duty spreader block until they are secure. When finished, rinse the mesh with freshwater to remove any silt or pond weed, and allow the net to air dry completely before placing it inside the provided carry bag to prevent fabric degradation and odor buildup. Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the carbon fiber handle.
