Garbolino Proxima Jetspin Tele MH Rod 9′ – 15-40g 6sec

Garbolino Proxima Jetspin Tele MH Rod 9′ (15-40g)

The Garbolino Proxima Jetspin Tele MH 9′ is the heavy-hitter of the telescopic Proxima range. At 2.70m, it is designed for the roving predator angler who refuses to compromise on power. Built with High Resistance (HR) Carbon, this rod manages to provide a robust Medium-Heavy (MH) action in a 6-section telescopic format, making it ideal for targeting larger pike and zander while remaining compact enough for easy transport.

Unlike traditional telescopic rods that can feel “soft,” the Proxima Tele MH maintains a crisp tip action, ensuring you can cast lures up to 40g with confidence and have enough backbone to set the hook at distance.

Technical Specifications

Key Performance Features

• High-Power Portability: Collapsing down to just 80cm, this 9ft rod offers the reach of a full-sized shore rod in a travel-friendly size. It is perfect for keeping in the boot of a car or strapping to a hiking pack.

• Specimen Grade Blank: The use of HR Carbon provides the necessary structural integrity for the 6 telescopic joints to handle the torque of 15g to 40g lures without losing the rod’s fast recovery speed.

   

• Ergonomic Hybrid Handle: Features a professional EVA and cork handle, providing a secure and comfortable grip for two-handed casting, which is essential when launching heavier lures into the wind.

   

• Sensory Reel Seat: The tubular screw-up reel seat with its colored carbon insert is designed to maximize vibration transfer, allowing you to feel the movement of your lure even through a multi-section telescopic blank.

   

• Ready-to-Fish Design: Equipped with a fixed lure hook keeper, so you can move between spots without needing to dismantle your rig or risk snagging your lure on bankside vegetation.

   

Ideal Usage Scenarios

• Large River Pike & Zander: The 9ft length is perfect for clearing marginal reeds and controlling heavy lures in strong currents.

• Shore-Based Reservoir Casting: Ideal for anglers who walk miles of bankside and need to reach distant drop-offs with spoons, spinners, and large soft plastics.

• Heavy-Duty Travel Fishing: The best option for holidays where you expect to encounter larger predators and need a rod that can handle 30g+ lures but still fits in your luggage.

• Light Saltwater Spinning: A strong contender for targeting Bass and Pollack from rock marks or piers with metal jigs and shore jigs.

Gerry’s Tip: For the 9ft Tele MH, I recommend a 3000 or 4000 size reel to provide the right balance. Because this rod has a 15-40g rating, it’s built to handle some pressure, but always remember to extend the telescopic sections firmly and check them occasionally during a long session. To maximize the 40g casting potential, a smooth 0.15mm to 0.18mm braid will give you the best distance and sensitivity
