Garbolino Combo Practis Keepnet 2.0m + Net Bag + Bankstick

Get bank-ready in an instant with the Garbolino Combo Practis Keepnet Set. At Gerry’s Fishing, we understand that sometimes you just want a simple, high-quality solution that works straight out of the box. This “Practis” combo is the ultimate starter or travel kit, providing everything you need to safely house your catch: a 2.0m keepnet, a dedicated waterproof net bag, and a sturdy bankstick.

The Practis Keepnet itself is 2.0 meters long, making it exceptionally lightweight and easy to handle. It features a soft, fish-friendly mesh that ensures the safety of your catch by protecting scales and fins while allowing for maximum water oxygenation. The 2.0m length is perfectly suited for silverfish sessions, canal fishing, or shorter pleasure stints where a massive 3m match net would be overkill.

To solve the age-old problem of “wet car smell,” the set includes a waterproof net bag. This durable carrier keeps the moisture and muck contained during your journey home. Completing the set is a matching bankstick, featuring a universal thread that allows you to secure your net to the bank perfectly, regardless of the terrain.

Detailed Specifications

Where to Use

• Canal Fishing: The 2.0m length is ideal for narrow towpaths. It doesn’t stick out too far into the channel, keeping it safe from passing boat traffic while providing plenty of room for roach, perch, and skimmers.

• Pleasure Sessions: If you aren’t competing in a high-stakes match and just want to keep a few fish for a photo at the end of the day, this compact set is much easier to transport than a full match station.

• Junior Anglers: Its lightweight nature and “all-in-one” design make it the perfect gift or starter kit for a young angler beginning their journey into silverfish fishing.

• Short Evening Sessions: When you want to travel light and fast, this combo fits easily into a small carryall or the side of a rod holdall, saving you weight and bulk.

Pro Tip

Gerry’s Pro Tip: To keep your net bag smelling fresh for longer, never leave your wet net zipped up in the bag for more than 24 hours. When you get home, take the net out and let it air-dry completely in the garden or garage. Also, when using the bankstick in hard-packed ground, always push it into the earth before you screw the net on—this prevents you from putting unnecessary stress on the net’s locking block.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2.0m length match legal?

In many club matches and on most canal venues, a 2.0m net is perfectly acceptable for silverfish. However, some commercial fisheries have a “minimum 2.5m or 3m” rule for carp. We always recommend checking the specific fishery rules before you start your session.

Does the net bag have a shoulder strap?

The bag is designed as a compact “stink bag” with sturdy carry handles, making it easy to lift in and out of the car or carry down to your peg alongside your other luggage.

Is the bankstick adjustable?

The bankstick provided in the Practis combo is a standard-length aluminum stick. If you find yourself on a very high bank, you can easily swap it for a longer telescopic bankstick, as the keepnet uses a universal thread that fits almost all sticks on the market.

Can this net hold large carp?

While the mesh is strong enough to hold fish, a 2.0m net is primarily designed for silverfish (roach, rudd, bream, etc.). If you are targeting double-figure carp, we recommend stepping up to the Garbolino “Strike” or “Squadron” ranges which offer more volume and reinforced rings for heavier weights.
