Garbolino Deluxe Match Double Pole Roller

Garbolino Deluxe Match Double Pole Roller

Take your pole shipping to the next level of stability and smoothness with the Garbolino Deluxe Match Double Pole Roller. When you are fishing at lengths of 13m, 14.5m, or even 16m, the sheer weight and leverage of the carbon can make shipping a nerve-wracking experience. This deluxe roller is engineered to remove that stress, providing two dedicated shipping “lanes” that allow you to manage multiple top kits or a single long pole with absolute precision.

What sets the “Deluxe” model apart is its incredible height range and rock-solid stability. With legs that can extend to a staggering 1.7 metres, this roller is one of the tallest on the market, making it the premier choice for steep, high banks where standard rollers simply can’t reach. Featuring high-grade ball bearings and high-density EVA foam, it ensures your pole glides back and forth with zero friction, protecting your expensive sections from the abrasive wear and tear of a busy match.

Key Features & Performance

• Dual Shipping Zones: Divided by three upright EVA rollers, this setup allows you to ship two separate pole sections or top kits simultaneously without them tangling or knocking together.

• Ball-Bearing Smoothness: The horizontal rollers are mounted on high-quality internal bearings, providing a “silk-smooth” retrieval that is essential for delicate shipping.

• Extreme Height Adjustment: The telescopic legs offer a huge range, from 77cm up to 170cm, ensuring you can get your pole level on even the most daunting river banks.

• Integrated Spirit Level: Built directly into the frame, allowing you to ensure your roller is perfectly horizontal in seconds—preventing your pole from “creeping” or rolling off to one side.

• Wind-Proof Stability: Features a central under-hook for hanging a groundbait bucket or weight to anchor the roller in high-wind conditions.

Detailed Specifications

Examples of Where to Use

• High River Banks: The 1.7m extension is a lifesaver on venues with steep grass or concrete banks where you need to lift the pole clear of the towpath or vegetation.

• Double-Kit Bagging: Perfect for sessions where you are switching between two lines (e.g., a long pole line and a margin line). Keep both top kits ready and safe in their own lane.

• Exposed Reservoirs: On windy days, use the central hook to anchor the roller. The high-sided uprights and heavy-duty frame ensure your pole stays put even in gusty crosswinds.

• Uneven Terrain: The four independently adjustable legs allow you to compensate for “dog-leg” banks, ensuring the roller stays level regardless of the ground profile.

💡 Gerry’s Pro Tip

When fishing on particularly high banks, many anglers forget that they can fold the legs away entirely and use the integrated mini-feet on the leg blocks. This allows you to sit the roller directly on top of a high bank behind you, providing a “low-profile” setup that is incredibly stable. Also, if you’re fishing at 16m, always place this Deluxe roller at the furthest point back. Its extra height and width provide a much larger “target” when you’re shipping back at speed!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Is this roller too big for standard canal fishing? A: Not at all. While it can go to 1.7m, it is equally stable at its lowest setting. The benefit of the double roller is the extra lane for your spare top kit, which is useful on any venue.

Q: Will the ball bearings rust? A: Garbolino uses high-quality components, but like any metalware, they benefit from a quick wipe-down. If you’ve been fishing in the rain, dry the rollers off before packing them in the bag to keep the bearings spinning like new.

Q: Does it fit into a standard carryall? A: It is a large unit, which is why Garbolino supplies it with its own deluxe carry bag. We recommend keeping it in the bag to protect the EVA foam from being punctured by other tackle items.

Q: Can I buy replacement legs? A: The legs on the Deluxe Match are very robust, but should you ever lose a locking nut or damage a leg, we can usually source genuine Garbolino spares here at the shop.
