The ‘S’ Range specialist and Barbel rods have been around for some time now and still remain very popular. Made from the 36t low resin Japanese carbon that has served so well for the actions needed for species like Tench, Bream, Chub and Barbel and fitted with full cork handles, stainless steel fittings, Clone reel seat with isotope slot and ‘S’-Lite guides.
The Big River Barbel was again developed with the help and advice from Steve Pope. Following the success of the Barbel Seekers he felt we needed an additional rod with more power in the butt to middle to cope with the flows when rivers like the Trent, Wye and Severn are in spate conditions, at around 2.25lb TC it will cope with pretty much anything you need it to.
The Seeker Specialist is 12’ and designed for specimen fishing for Bream, Tench, Chub and smaller Barbel. With a somewhat progressive action that makes it easier to fish weedy waters where harsher rods can lead to hook-pulls or line breakage.

Gardner GT-HD Reduced Stretch
All new GT-HD is manufactured exclusively for Gardner Tackle with a unique high grade copolymer formula using cutting edge manufacturing processes to give the line reduced stretch and a crisp feel without compromising the other key characteristics.
After all, why develop a line that offers exceptional feel if it doesn't retain the high knot strength, great abrasion resistance, fast sinking and a lovely smooth supple feel that anglers want. By developing a main line that brings together all of these features 'GT-HD' sets a new benchmark in performance copolymer main lines. Finally, by manufacturing GT-HD in a awesome low-viz colour we've created a line that simply outperforms other low stretch lines in every way.
Reduced stretch offers excellent feedback to the rod tip when feeling the lead down and gives improved/enhanced bite indication at long range.
Smooth finish and supple feel offers superior casting performance.
GT-HD is formulated to sink quickly and settle flush to the lake bed.
This line has exceptionally high knot strength and high abrasion resistance.
Low-Viz Green colour gives superb camouflage whether you are fishing slack or tight lines.
For optimum performance we recommend a Palomar knot with GT-HD (though Grinner and Fig.8 loops will still exceed stated breaking strain).
*We recommend spooling up GT-Hd with the label facing upwards (line coming off anti-clockwise) and periodically checking for line twist for the best possible results.
GT-HD is supplied on 1/4lb bulk spools and is available in the following breaking strains:
Breaking Strain 12lb (5.4kg), Diameter 0.33mm, Meterage 1150m
Breaking Strain 15lb (6.8kg), Diameter 0.35mm, Meterage 1030m
Breaking Strain 18lb (8.1kg), Diameter 0.39mm, Meterage 830m
