If you're a serious specimen hunter you need the tackle at the business end of your setup to be strong, reliable and well thought out and thats exactly what Gardner has come up with here. With its Target Specimen range of rig bits and pieces.
From hooks and hook-link materials to swivels and lead clips, the range has all the pieces of the jigsaw that will allow you to tie strong, high-performance reliable rigs.
On a recent Bream session in Norfolk I used the Gardner Specimen hooks in size 14 and the companies fluorocarbon in 8lb breaking strain. I managed to catch Bream up to 12lb 14ozs as well as landing three large Carp, which tested the tackle to its limit.
Whats great about the Target range is that you can search for the products on Gardners website and you'll receive detailed explanations, leaving you in no doubt about the rigs that can be tied with each product.
If, like me, you enjoy chasing big fish then you won't go too far wrong with Gardner Target products, thats for sure.
What's in the range…
Fluorocarbon
Available on 25m spools in a variety of breaking strains. Fluoro is a great material for hooklengths because it's abrasion resistant and almost invisible underwater. I found this fluoro to be nice and supple, meaning it won't sit up off the bottom when fishing over weed and chod.
Specimen Hooks
Solid, strong and reliable hooks that won't let you down. They really so stand up to punishment from hard-fighting fish.
Speciskin
Available in Silt, Weed, Gravel and Camou colours in 10lb breaking strain. Great for Barbel, Carp, Tench and Bream.
