Product Details and Uses

Garbolino Olivette Competition Tungsten – Inline

The Compact Revolution in Rig Presentation

Take your pole fishing to the next level with the Garbolino Olivette Competition Tungsten. Engineered for the serious match angler, these next-generation olivettes utilize high-density tungsten to provide a 30% smaller profile than traditional lead. This reduction in bulk means your rig encounters less resistance, allowing for a stealthy, pinpoint presentation that wary fish simply won’t spot.

By choosing tungsten, you aren’t just opting for a “smaller weight”—you’re gaining superior water penetration. These olivettes cut through the surface tension and mid-water layers faster than lead, ensuring your rig settles instantly and stays stable even in turbulent conditions or deep-water swims.

Why Tungsten Makes the Difference

Ultra-Slim Profile: Being 30% denser than lead, these are significantly less bulky for the same weight, providing a much more discreet bulk shotting pattern.
Precision Control: The increased density offers improved rig control and faster settling, allowing you to get your hook bait into the “kill zone” quicker.
Line Protection: The high-quality inner silicone sleeve acts as a buffer, preventing the tungsten body from damaging your line while ensuring the olivette hangs perfectly straight to eliminate tangles.
Perfect Finish: Each olivette is manufactured with a smooth, professional finish to prevent snagging and maintain the integrity of your terminal tackle.

Ideal Applications & Scenarios

Deep Lake Swims: Use the heavier 1.50g to 2.50g sizes to get through small “nuisance” fish quickly and reach the larger specimens on the deck.
Fast-Flowing Rivers: The streamlined shape and high density are perfect for keeping your bulk shot stable in moving water without creating excessive drag.
Clear Water Conditions: The reduced size makes these olivettes much harder for fish to see, making them the go-to choice for gin-clear canals or pressured commercial venues.
Precision Pole Rigs: Ideal for creating neat, tangle-free bulk shotting arrangements when targeting skimmers, bream, or carp.

Gerry’s Pro Tip

To get the most out of your inline tungsten olivettes, try pinning them in place with a small No.8 or No.10 shot directly underneath. This allows you to “bulk up” your weight exactly where you want it while giving you the flexibility to move the olivette up the line if the fish start to take the bait on the drop. Because these are so dense, they are also fantastic for “tiling” your rig in windy conditions to prevent the tow from pulling your bait out of position
