Product Information
Full details
The Gardner Modular Tackle System (MTS) is designed for serious anglers who demand organized and secure transportation for a wide variety of fishing gear. This versatile system offers the key benefit of extreme modularity, allowing you to combine or separate three padded units based on your session requirements. While its robust design offers excellent protection for delicate items like buzzer bars and banksticks, the structured nature of the pouches means it is best suited for organized storage rather than stuffing with large, bulky clothing items.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the system, align the heavy-duty zips of the pouches with the base unit and secure the integrated clips for additional reinforcement. The system is designed to fit inside most standard-sized angling rucksacks or carryalls.
For maintenance, it is recommended to keep the zips clean from sand and grit to ensure smooth operation. To clean the unit, simply wipe the PVC base with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the bags in water; if the interior gets wet, leave the pouches open in a well-ventilated area until completely dry to prevent odors or material degradation.
