SPONSORED ANGLER TEAM
Gardner has built up quite a team of sponsored top anglers to include some of the best in the business – experts in both Carp and Specimen Coarse fishing who play a vital role during all stages of product development, field testing and promotion of the Gardner range. Their knowledge and experience is invaluable to us in what we do and the feedback we get from these past masters is quite literally gold dust. So this page is dedicated to the team. We would like to take this opportunity to thank and praise them for the good work they have done and for their loyalty to Gardner.
None of these anglers are paid consultants and as such have chosen to use and promote our tackle simply because it is the best available. Some are already extremely well known faces, whilst others have generally remained a bit ‘underground’, until now…
