Product Information
Full details
The Gardner ATTs Snag Back Kit is designed for dedicated carp anglers using ATTs or ATTsiw alarm heads who need enhanced rod stability when fishing near heavy snags or thick weeds. By replacing the standard back plate with a model featuring 28mm parallel ears, this kit prevents rod drag and provides a secure lock-in during aggressive bites, though users should note that installation requires a small amount of manual effort to swap out the existing hardware.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install your Snag Back Kit, follow these steps:
- Ensure your alarm head is turned off and disconnected from any external sensors.
- Use a precision screwdriver to remove the existing screws from the rear of the ATTs or ATTsiw alarm head.
- Carefully remove the original back plate, taking care not to disturb the internal circuitry.
- Position the new Snag Back plate against the rear of the head, ensuring the included gasket seal is correctly aligned to maintain the unit's water resistance.
- Reinstall the four provided screws, tightening them firmly but not excessively to avoid stripping the threads.
Compatibility is limited exclusively to original ATTs and ATTsiw alarm heads. To maintain the kit, wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth periodically and ensure the magnetic case remains free of metallic debris that might interfere with its auto-switch function.
