Troubleshooting
Spoon does not attach to landing net handle
Ensure you are using a standard landing net handle thread. Check for any debris in the thread of both the spoon and the handle.
Spoon feels loose after attachment
Tighten the spoon onto the handle by screwing it in further. If the handle's thread is worn, consider a handle with a more robust fitting.
Difficulty loading certain baits
For sticky or oily baits, a quick rinse of the spoon can sometimes help. Ensure baits like groundbait are mixed to a suitable consistency.
Plastic shows signs of wear after extended use
While designed for durability, extreme stress or UV exposure over many years can impact plastic. Ensure proper cleaning and storage to maximize lifespan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Gardner Baiting Spoon is designed for simple integration. Locate the threaded end of the spoon and screw it firmly into the standard thread fitting found at the end of most landing net handles. Ensure it is securely attached before loading with bait.
Compatibility: This baiting spoon features a standard thread, making it compatible with the vast majority of landing net handles available on the market. It is also designed to work with a wide array of bait types, from fine groundbait to larger boilies.
Care: To maintain the longevity of your baiting spoon, rinse it with fresh water after each use to remove any residual bait or debris. Allow it to air dry completely before storing.
