Garbolino Pole Pots Octapot Feed Hybrid

Garbolino Pole Pots Octapot Feed Hybrid

The Garbolino Octapot Feed Hybrid is a precision feeding system designed for the modern match and pleasure pole angler. These pots are engineered to be “pole-friendly,” providing a lightweight and stable way to deliver bait exactly where your rig is positioned. Whether you need to dump a large amount of bait quickly or “trickle” feed to keep fish searching, the hybrid lid system provides total control over your feeding strategy.

Each pack contains two pots and two interchangeable lid options, allowing you to adapt to the fish’s feeding behavior throughout the session. The “Hybrid” design refers to the combination of a rigid, lightweight cup and a soft, non-damaging attachment system that grips the carbon without the need for glue or permanent modifications.

Technical Specifications

Key Performance Features

• Dual-Lid Versatility: Every pack includes two lid styles. The Single Hole lid is perfect for “dumping” a localized pile of micro pellets or groundbait, while the Trickle lid allows you to slowly release maggots or pellets one by one to keep fish competing in the water column.

• Super Lightweight Design: Made from a rigid but ultra-thin polymer, these pots minimize “tip bounce.” This is critical when fishing at long lengths (13m–16m) where added weight at the tip can make the pole difficult to hold steady.

   

• Soft “Safe-Fix” Attachment: The attachment point is made from a soft material that grips the carbon securely without scratching or crushing the delicate tip section. It allows you to move the pot up or down the section to find the perfect balance point.

   

• Regulated Feeding: Available in three sizes (S, M, L), allowing you to regulate exactly how much bait you introduce. Use the Small for winter “finesse” feeding and the Large for aggressive summer “bagging” sessions.

   

• Universal Fitment: With two diameter options provided, these pots are designed to fit everything from slim “Match” kits to thick “Power” kits, ensuring they sit level and secure during shipping.

   

Ideal Usage Scenarios

• Precision Margin Fishing: Perfect for “dropping” a pot of corn or heavy pellets right over your float in the margins for large carp.

• F1 “Slapping” & Feeding: The lightweight nature makes these ideal for the repetitive “ship-in, ship-out” style of F1 fishing where you need to feed small amounts of 2mm pellets constantly.

• Deep Water Bream Fishing: Use the Large pot with the single-hole lid to deliver a concentrated “ball” of groundbait and dead reds to the bottom in one go.

Gerry’s Tip: The “Octapot” design is great because it doesn’t spin on the tip. I recommend fitting the pot about 10–15cm back from the PTFE bush. This keeps the weight off the very end of the tip, making the pole feel much more responsive. If you’re using the “trickle” lid with maggots, give the pole a tiny “tap” every 30 seconds to encourage one or two baits to fall out—it’s a killer tactic for drawing fish up into the mid-water layers
