Garbolino Landing Net Handle Take Apart Express Put Over Handle

Garbolino Express Take-Apart Put-Over Landing Net Handle

For the angler who demands rigidity and strength without breaking the bank, the Garbolino Express Put-Over Handle is the ultimate workhorse. At Gerry’s Fishing, we often see anglers struggling with telescopic handles that flex and “bounce” when trying to net a fast-moving fish. The Express range solves this by utilizing a high-quality take-apart (put-over) construction, providing the stiffness needed to steer your net with total precision.

Built from High-Resistance (HR) Carbon, this handle is designed to survive the “rough and tumble” of match fishing. Whether you are lifting a bonus tench on a canal or bagging up on F1s at a commercial, the Express handle offers a secure, solid feel. The put-over joints are reinforced to handle the torque of lifting fish, ensuring that your handle remains a reliable part of your kit for seasons to come.

Key Features & Performance

• Superior Rigidity: The take-apart design is significantly stiffer than telescopic models, allowing you to “push” the net through the water much faster.

• HR Carbon Construction: High-Resistance carbon provides the perfect balance between a lightweight feel and the “grunt” needed for commercial carp fishing.

• Riveted Brass Thread: Features a heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant brass thread that is riveted into the carbon for maximum security—no more net heads spinning or falling off!

• Satin Finish Sections: The sections are finished with a smooth coating that makes shipping the handle through your hands effortless, even when wet.

Detailed Specifications

Where to Use the Express Put-Over Handle

• Commercial Bagging: The 3.0m version is the “gold standard” for commercial carp fishing, giving you enough reach for the margins and the near-track.

• River Match Fishing: Use the 4.0m version on rivers with high banks or when fishing over near-side weeds to ensure you can reach the fish safely.

• Silverfish Matches: Its lightweight nature means you won’t get “aching arms” after a day of netting hundreds of roach and dace.

• Deep Venues: The extra stiffness of the put-over joints is a massive advantage when netting fish in deep water where water resistance is at its highest.

💡 Gerry’s Pro Tip

When using a take-apart handle, always net your fish with the handle in-line with your body. Many anglers make the mistake of “lifting” the fish horizontally out of the water like a crane. Even with a strong HR Carbon handle like the Express, this puts immense pressure on the joints. Instead, once the fish is in the net, “draw” the handle back through your hands, unshipping the sections if necessary, and lift the net head by the frame. This will make your handle last a lifetime!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Is “Put-Over” better than “Telescopic”?

A: For match fishing, yes. Put-over handles are stiffer, which gives you more control. They also allow you to use the handle at different lengths (e.g., using only 2 sections of a 3-section handle) for close-in work.

Q: Will my current net head fit this handle?

A: Absolutely. The Express handle uses a standard universal thread that is compatible with all major brands, including Preston, Guru, Daiwa, and Matrix.

Q: Is it strong enough for double-figure carp?

A: Yes, the HR Carbon construction is specifically designed to handle the weight of “match-sized” carp (up to 15lb+). However, always remember to use the correct lifting technique!

Q: How do I maintain the joints?

A: Keep the joints clean of grit and mud. A quick wipe with a damp cloth after each session will prevent the sections from “binding” or scratching, keeping the take-apart action smooth.
