Garbolino Keepnet G-Pro Series Rectangular – 3.5m

Garbolino Keepnet G-Pro Series Rectangular (3.5m)

The Long-Reach Specialist for Extreme Venues

The Garbolino G-Pro Series Rectangular 3.5m is the longest and most versatile model in the G-Pro range. This specialist 3.5-metre keepnet is engineered for anglers who frequently face challenging bankside conditions, such as high river banks, steep commercial margins, or thick belts of near-bank weeds. The extra length ensures that the majority of the net remains submerged in deeper, cooler, and more oxygenated water, providing the ultimate environment for fish welfare.

The rectangular 50 x 40cm profile provides exceptional stability on the bed, ensuring the net doesn’t roll or “bounce” in flowing water or during heavy winds. Combined with the signature G-Pro black hydrophobic mesh, this net is as high-performing as it is durable.

Why the G-Pro Rectangular 3.5m is the Ultimate Choice

• Extended 3.5m Reach: The additional length is a lifesaver on venues with high towpaths or deep marginal shelves, allowing the fish to stay well away from the surface and any potential bankside disturbance.

• Hydrophobic “Zero-Absorb” Mesh: The high-tech black mesh is designed to repel water molecules. This prevents the fabric from becoming heavy and ensures that the net dries almost instantly after a quick shake.

• Low-Profile Stability: The rectangular shape offers a lower center of gravity than round nets, making it the superior choice for rivers or large, windswept lakes where current and wave action are factors.

• Reinforced Seam Integrity: Every seam is bound with reinforced blue piping, protecting the mesh from abrasion against rocks, concrete, or wooden platforms.

• High-Contrast Blue Edging: The bright blue trim at the mouth of the net acts as a visual target, helping you guide fish into the net quickly during the heat of a match.

Ideal Applications & Scenarios

• River Match Fishing: Essential for rivers with high banks or heavy flow, where the 3.5m length ensures the base of the net reaches the deeper water where fish are most comfortable.

• Specimen Silverfish Hauls: The massive internal volume is perfect for holding large catches of bream, tench, and hybrids in peak condition for the weigh-in.

• Venues with Broad Marginal Weeds: The extra length allows you to push the net out past lily pads or reeds that would snag a standard 2.5m or 3m net.

• Professional Match Circuits: For the angler who wants the maximum legal length to ensure the best possible fish care and compliance with all international fishery regulations.

Gerry’s Pro Tip

If you’re fishing a venue like the River Trent or the Wye, the 3.5m G-Pro is the only way to go. Standard nets often end up “hanging” in mid-air if the bank is high, which is no good for the fish. This 3.5m reach ensures your catch is always in the water. Pro Tip: Because this net is quite long, I recommend using a heavy-duty keepnet weight at the bottom ring. This keeps the net fully extended in the current, preventing it from “telescoping” back on itself and giving the fish the full 3.5m of swimming space
