Garbolino Keepnet G-Pro Series Rectangular – 2.5m

Garbolino Keepnet G-Pro Series Rectangular (2.5m)

The Perfect Balance of Volume and Maneuverability

The Garbolino G-Pro Series Rectangular 2.5m is designed for the modern match angler who needs a versatile, mid-length keepnet that performs equally well on commercials and natural venues. At 2.5 metres, it offers enough volume to comfortably hold a significant catch of silverfish or F1s, while remaining compact enough to stay out of the way on tighter pegs.

The rectangular 50 x 40cm profile ensures the net remains rock-solid on the lake bed. Unlike round nets that can roll in the wind or current, the flat-bottomed G-Pro design “grips” the bottom, providing a stable environment that keeps fish calm and well-oxygenated.

Why the G-Pro Rectangular 2.5m is a Match-Winner

• Hydrophobic “Zero-Weight” Mesh: The black mesh is treated to repel water at the surface. This means the net doesn’t gain weight throughout the session, making it easier to pull through the water at the weigh-in and significantly reducing drying time.

• Stable Rectangular Profile: The 50 x 40cm rings create a low-profile shape that is far less affected by surface tow or wave action than traditional round nets.

• Reinforced Seam Durability: Every seam is bound with high-tensile blue piping. This reinforcement is critical for protecting the mesh from the friction of lifting heavy nets over wooden platforms or concrete toe-boards.

• Pro-Target Entry Ring: The 50 x 40cm starting ring is wide enough to accommodate the largest match landing net heads, allowing for a seamless transition from “hook to net” without snagging.

• Anti-Odour Mesh: Because the hydrophobic fibers shed water and slime so effectively, the net stays cleaner for longer, preventing the buildup of bacteria and the associated smells.

Ideal Applications & Scenarios

• Commercial F1 & Silverfish Sessions: The 2.5m length is perfect for sessions where you expect 30lb–60lb of fish, providing ample room without taking up too much space in your swim.

• Natural Lake Fishing: Ideal for bream and skimmer sessions on stillwaters where you need a stable net that won’t move in the wind.

• Multi-Net Regulations: An excellent primary net for silverfish or a secondary “limit” net for carp when fishing under strict fishery weight-limit rules.

• Shallow Margin Work: Its 2.5m length is easier to fully submerge in shallower margins compared to longer 3m or 3.5m models.

Gerry’s Pro Tip

The G-Pro 2.5m Rectangular is the “Goldilocks” of the range—it’s just right for about 80% of UK match fishing scenarios. Pro Tip: If you are fishing a venue with a very steep marginal drop-off, try mounting the net so the first two rings are above the water level. This ensures the rest of the 2.5m length hangs vertically into the deeper, cooler water, which is much better for the fish’s health on hot summer days
