Garbolino Landing Net Handle Take Apart Express Put-Over carp Handle

Garbolino Express Put-Over Net Carp Handle – 2.9m

When the pressure is on and you’re netting hard-fighting commercial carp, you need a handle that won’t let you down. The Garbolino Express Put-Over Net Carp Handle is a purpose-built “take-apart” tool designed for strength, rigidity, and rapid response. Positioned in the “Express” range, it offers high-end performance and durability at a price point that makes it an essential addition to any match or club angler’s armory.

Constructed from High-Resistance (HR) Carbon, this 2.9-metre handle is significantly tougher than pure carbon alternatives, making it resistant to the knocks and scrapes inherent to busy commercial platforms. The “put-over” design ensures maximum stiffness, allowing you to steer a large landing net head through the water with precision—crucial for those last-second lunges from a double-figure carp.

Key Features & Performance

• 3-Piece Versatility: Featuring a unique “2 sections + 1 short top” configuration, this handle offers multiple length options to suit your peg.

• HR Carbon Construction: Built for power and longevity, the High-Resistance carbon provides the “backbone” needed for lifting “unit” sized carp.

• Riveted Brass Thread: Unlike glued alternatives, the heavy-duty brass thread is securely riveted, ensuring your net head stays attached even under immense pressure.

   

• Slim & Stiff: The put-over joints maintain a slim profile and incredible rigidity, preventing the “bouncing” or flexing often seen in cheaper telescopic handles.

Detailed Specifications

Where to Use the Express Put-Over Net Handle

• Commercial Margins: The 2.9m length is perfect for netting fish “down the edge” or right against the pallet.

• F1 Speed Fishing: Use the handle in its shorter configuration by removing a section for ultra-fast “scoop and tip” tactics during a bagging session.

• Mixed Fisheries: Strong enough for “lumps” but light enough for silverfish, making it a great “one-handle-does-it-all” option for club matches.

• River Fishing: Its rigid nature and HR carbon build make it a reliable choice for roving for chub or barbel on smaller river systems.

💡 Gerry’s Pro Tip

The short top section is your secret weapon for speed. If you are catching high volumes of F1s or small “stockie” carp, use the handle at its shorter length. This allows you to bring the net closer to your body, making the transition from netting the fish to unhooking it over your side tray much faster. It also reduces the leverage on your wrist, which makes a massive difference over a five-hour match!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What is the benefit of a “take-apart” handle over a telescopic one?

A: Take-apart (or put-over) handles are generally much stiffer and stronger than telescopic versions. They also allow you to use the handle at different lengths by simply adding or removing sections, providing more versatility on the bank.

Q: Will this fit any landing net head?

A: Yes. The riveted brass thread is a standard universal size that will fit any landing net head from Garbolino, Preston, Guru, Daiwa, or any other major brand.

Q: Is it easy to transport?

A: Absolutely. With a closed length of 1.35m, it fits perfectly into standard rod holdalls and net bags without taking up excessive space.

Q: Can I use this for specimen carp over 20lb?

A: While it is exceptionally strong for match and commercial carp fishing, for dedicated specimen hunting (20lb to 40lb+), we would recommend a specialized specimen handle with a larger diameter. However, for “match sized” carp up to 15lb, this handle is more than capable.
