Product Information
Full details
The Gardner GTN Carbon Compact Landing Net is an ideal choice for the roving angler who requires a balance of portability and reach. Its 3-piece carbon construction offers significant weight savings, making it easy to carry between swims, though users should be mindful that the multi-section handle requires careful assembly to ensure it remains rigid under the weight of a large catch.

FAQs
What is the maximum reach of the handle?
The handle extends from 76cm up to a maximum of 1.8 meters.
Is the mesh fish-friendly?
Yes, the olive green mesh is designed to be soft and safe for fish, minimizing the risk of scale damage.
Can I replace the mesh if it tears?
Yes, the 42-inch frame is compatible with most standard 42-inch replacement landing net meshes.
Is the handle stiff enough for large carp?
The carbon construction is designed for strength, though always lift the fish by the spreader block rather than the handle alone when possible.
How do I clean the net after a session?
Rinse with fresh water and allow to air dry completely before storing in a dark, dry environment.
Troubleshooting
Handle sections slipping while extended
Ensure the locking mechanism is clean and tightened firmly by twisting the section securely.
Mesh snagging on spreader block
Ensure the mesh is folded neatly around the arms before beginning the landing process.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the net, slide the telescopic arms into the spreader block until they click into position. When extending the handle, ensure each section is twisted firmly to lock it into place, preventing the pole from collapsing under pressure. After use, rinse the mesh with clean water to remove pond debris and algae, which can degrade the material over time. Store the net in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Check the carbon handle periodically for any hairline fractures or grit build-up in the joints to ensure longevity.
