Garbolino Landing Net Head Latex Match (45x35cm)
The Ultimate “Speed & Finesse” Hybrid
The Garbolino Latex Match 45×35 is the compact specialist in the Latex Match family. Built for the high-intensity world of match fishing, this size is specifically favored by anglers who prioritize agility and rapid-fire netting of silverfish, F1s, and medium-sized commercial carp. The open blue hoop design isn’t just for style; it is engineered to shield the mesh from abrasion, ensuring that the net stays in top condition even when you’re frequently netting fish against steep banks or concrete platforms.
Combining a 6mm black latex side mesh for low water resistance with a 3mm blue latex base for fish safety, this net offers the perfect balance of speed and protection.
Why the 45x35cm Latex Match is a Competition Favorite
-
Maneuverability in the Water: The compact 45x35cm oval frame cuts through the water with ease. The 6mm side mesh allows water to flow through the net rather than pushing against it, preventing the “bow wave” effect that can spook fish at the critical netting point.
-
Snag-Resistant Latex: The rubberized coating is the ultimate solution for speed. Hooks—especially those with micro-barbs or hair-rigged bands—will not get “knitted” into the mesh. This allows for near-instant unhooking and keeps you in the water longer.
-
Superior Fish Care: The 3mm blue base provides a soft, secure cradle. The latex material is non-abrasive to scales and the fish’s protective slime coat, meeting the highest standards for modern fishery regulations.
-
Hygienic and Quick-Drying: Latex does not absorb water or odors. After your session, a quick shake removes most of the moisture, preventing that “wet net” smell from lingering in your vehicle.
Ideal Applications & Scenarios
-
High-Speed Silverfish Matches: The perfect size for “bagging” roach, rudd, and skimmers where the smaller head allows for faster, more accurate scooping.
-
Commercial F1 Fishing: Ideally sized for the typical 1lb–4lb F1s found on most commercial venues. It provides plenty of space for safety without the unnecessary drag of a larger carp net.
-
Narrow Canal & Drain Pegs: The compact footprint is a major advantage when space is limited or when you need to net fish quickly between marginal vegetation.
-
Banded Pellet Tactics: The smooth 3mm base ensures that bait bands don’t get trapped in the mesh, allowing you to unhook and ship your pole back out in seconds.

Gerry’s Pro Tip
This 45x35cm model is my go-to for “fishing the drop” on the pole or waggler. Because the head is so light and compact, you can hold your landing net handle in one hand while shipping the pole with the other without any strain. The blue 3mm base is a stroke of genius—it makes it incredibly easy to see exactly where your hook is, even when you’re netting fish in the shadows of a far-bank bush or in murky water
