Gardner Barbel/Specialist Pan Net

If you’re an angler who likes to target the very biggest barbel and carp from the nation’s most demanding waters then you need a landing net that is up to the job.

What’s more, this net is also easier to carry than traditional round pan nets, making it ideal for the angler who likes to keep mobile. The unique shape is complemented by its rigid frame, too. Not only exceptionally strong, this frame ensures that you’re never let down even in weedy situations. In fact, unlike most modern nets which use a carbon composite in their arms, this Gardner Barbel/Specialist Pan Net is manufactured from high grade aluminium. This ensures that you can use this landing net with confidence in a huge variety of scenarios.

The Gardner Barbel/Specialist Pan Net boasts a flat and knot free weave. This ensures that this mesh is completely fish friendly. Some modern landing nets boast ultra-deep mesh, with the idea that this makes retaining fish easier. However, more often than not, a larger mesh is cumbersome and unnecessary. The mesh on the Gardner Barbel/Specialist Pan Net is 60cm deep, which is ideal for scooping and retaining huge carp. The net is 88cm in length and at its widest point it stretches to 65cm. This means that you never have to worry that your net isn’t large enough and it can comfortably house the nations hardest fighting barbel and carp. This is the ideal net for the angler who enjoys carp and specialist fishing.
