Garbolino Landing Net Head Express Match – D40
The Efficient Choice for Fast-Paced Match Sessions
The Garbolino Express Match D40 is designed for the angler who needs a reliable, no-nonsense “speed” net for high-frequency fishing. Built with a classic 40cm round frame, it provides a consistent and predictable landing area that match anglers have trusted for decades. The frame is finished in a sleek matte black, reducing underwater glare and providing a professional look that matches any high-end landing net handle.
This net features a 6mm black textile mesh, which is the perfect middle ground for match fishing. It is wide enough to allow water to flow through freely—preventing the net from feeling “heavy” as you scoop—yet fine enough to be completely fish-friendly and durable for multiple seasons of hard use.
Why the Express Match is a Reliable Performer
-
High-Flow Textile Mesh: The 6mm mesh size is specifically chosen to reduce drag. This allows you to move the net through the water with precision and speed, which is essential when a fish makes a sudden move near the bank.
-
Shallow Speed Depth: With a depth of 28cm, this net is optimized for “unhooking in the air” or at the surface. It prevents the fish from diving into a deep bag of mesh, keeping your hook easily accessible for a faster turnaround.
-
Striking Blue Edging: The blue trim isn’t just for aesthetics; it provides a high-contrast visual guide for the angler, making the “mouth” of the net easier to track in peripheral vision while you focus on playing the fish.
-
Durable Round Frame: The black aluminum frame is built to withstand the rigors of commercial and natural venue match fishing, providing a rigid structure that won’t flex under the weight of a bonus fish.
Ideal Applications & Scenarios
-
Silverfish Bagging: The 40cm size is the ultimate “silverfish” diameter, perfect for roach, dace, and perch where speed is the primary goal.
-
F1 & Small Carp Tactics: Ideally suited for the 1lb–3lb fish common on commercial venues, allowing you to scoop and transfer fish to the keepnet instantly.
-
All-Round Versatility: This is the perfect “first-choice” net head for an angler’s bag, performing equally well on canals, rivers, and stillwaters.
-
Long-Reach Pole Work: Its lightweight construction ensures it won’t unbalance your landing net handle when extended to 3 or 4 metres.

Gerry’s Pro Tip
The “Express” in the name refers to how fast you can get a fish out of it. Because the mesh is a textile material rather than rubber, it is incredibly light. When you’re fishing a 5-hour match and catching 100+ fish, that reduced weight saves a lot of strain on your wrists. Pro Tip: Keep the blue edging clean! That bright blue line acts as a “target” in murky water, helping you guide the fish into the center of the net every single time without having to look directly at the hoop
