Gardner Tackle Covert Tungsten Range

Gardner have launched a new range of tungsten-impregnated rig elements to help you use weight to your advantage

When it comes to terminal tackle, Gardner have it covered. From swivels to shrink tube, and from beads to bait stops, their range has got it all. Sitting at the top of the tree are the hooks, which have an incredible reputation among carp anglers for precision and strength. The hooks’ Covert covering is also highly thought of, and now that Covert range has extended into a tungsten range. With development and designs unique to Gardner, these sinking rig bits have been manufactured using the heaviest tungsten polymer compound available.

1. Covert Tungsten Anti-Tangle Sleeves

Developed to secure hooklinks onto size 8 and size 12 Kwik Lok Swivels, these streamlined sleeves keep your rigs neat and prevent tangles. They also help kick hooklinks away from the lead for a perfect presentation. There are two sizes available (for size 8 and 12 swivels) and they come in packs of eight.
£4.50

2. Covert Tungsten Chod Beads

Featuring a tapered bore for ease of threading and better rig safety, these Chod Beads measure 7mm by 4mm and act as a counterbalance to your buoyant Chod Rigs. The beads grip your line and, like the Link-Sinkers, are available in two bores for ‘Naked’ Chod Rigs or use on leaders.

3. Covert Tungsten Link-Sinkers

Available in packs of 12, these thread-on sinkers are designed to pin down your hooklink. They are available in two bores - one for monofilament and one, handily, for use with coated braids without stripping off the coating. As well as hooklinks, these Link-Sinkers can also be used on leaders to really pin down the line around your rig.

4. Covert Tungsten XL Kickers

Adding weight to your hook can really help flip the point into the fish’s mouth and get you that bite, and there’s no simpler way of doing so than with a weighted kicker. These XL versions are ideal for most hook sizes between 2 and 6, and provide a long sweep that keeps the gape of the hook open.
