Garbolino Landing Net Head Latex Hair Rig – 50×40

Garbolino Landing Net Head Latex Hair Rig (50x40cm)

The Specialist Solution for Banded and Hair-Rigged Baits

The Garbolino Latex Hair Rig 50×40 is purpose-built to solve the biggest frustration in modern commercial fishing: hooks and hair rigs getting tangled in the mesh. While standard nets often “trap” bait bands, rapid-stops, and pellets, this head utilizes a specialized 3mm latex micro-mesh across the entire body. The smooth, rubberized surface ensures that your terminal tackle cannot “thread” through the mesh, allowing for instant unhooking and zero downtime.

The 50x40cm oval shape provides a generous landing area for larger commercial carp and bream, while the open blue hoop design shields the mesh from wear and tear against the bank or platform, significantly increasing the lifespan of your net.

Why the Latex Hair Rig Net is a Game-Changer

• Zero-Tangle Micro-Mesh: The 3mm blue latex micro-mesh is specifically designed so that hair-rigged accessories—like bait bands and bayonets—slide right over the surface. This is an essential advantage for “bagging” sessions where speed is critical.

• Protective Open Hoop: The blue aluminum frame is designed with an “open” profile that tucks the mesh away from the edge. This protects the delicate fibers from abrasion when netting fish from steep banks or wooden platforms.

• Superior Fish Welfare: The soft-touch latex is non-abrasive, protecting the fish’s scales and mucus layer. As a “rubberized” net, it also prevents the fish from becoming “spun up” in the mesh during the unhooking process.

• Hygienic and Quick-Drying: Latex does not absorb water, slime, or odors. A quick shake after your session removes almost all moisture, ensuring your vehicle stays dry and smell-free.

• Optimal 30cm Depth: The 30cm depth is perfectly balanced—deep enough to secure a hard-fighting double-figure carp, but shallow enough to keep the fish at the surface for rapid unhooking.

Ideal Applications & Scenarios

• Commercial Carp & F1 Matches: Specifically designed for anglers using the Method feeder, pellet feeder, or banded-pellet pole tactics where hair rigs are the primary choice.

• Method Feeder Fishing: The micro-mesh is perfect for Method fishing as it prevents the flat-bed feeder from getting snagged in the net alongside the fish.

• High-Pace Bagging: The high-contrast blue mesh makes it incredibly easy to see your hook and bait in all water conditions, speeding up the unhooking process.

• “Hair Rig” Finesse: Ideal for thin-diameter hair rigs and small hooks that would typically be a nightmare to remove from a standard hexagonal mesh net.

Gerry’s Pro Tip

If you’ve ever lost five minutes of a match trying to cut a bait band out of your net, this is the head you need. The 3mm micro-mesh is so tight that it acts like a solid surface for your terminal tackle but still drains water beautifully. The 50x40cm size is my “all-rounder” recommendation—it’s small enough to use on the pole for F1s, but has the frame strength to scoop a bonus 12lb mirror carp without the hoop flexing
