Garbolino Multigrip Open Support In-Line

Garbolino Multigrip Open Support In-Line

Efficiency on the bank is what separates the winners from the “also-rans,” and the Garbolino Multigrip Open Support In-Line is designed specifically to shave seconds off your routine. This clever accessory provides a rock-solid, in-line support for your pole, landing net handle, or feeder rod, keeping it perfectly aligned and within easy reach.

The “In-Line” design is particularly useful for anglers who like a tidy, streamlined setup. By holding your gear parallel to your seatbox or in a direct line with your leg, it minimizes the “clutter” that often leads to tangled rigs or tripped-over handles. Like all items in the Multigrip range, it features the revolutionary Open System, allowing you to snap it onto any seatbox leg without having to disturb the rest of your meticulously placed trays and arms.

Key Features & Performance

• Streamlined In-Line Design: Positions your gear in a straight line with your seatbox leg, saving space and preventing snagging on busy platforms.

• Multigrip Open System: The hinge-action clamp opens fully, meaning you can add, move, or remove the support in seconds without stripping your seatbox down.

• Protective EVA Lining: The support is finished with high-density, soft-touch EVA foam to protect your expensive carbon sections from vibrations and scratches.

• Ultra-Stable Attachment: Once locked, the Multigrip clamp provides a “zero-slip” grip, even when supporting the weight of a long landing net handle or a heavy feeder rod.

Detailed Specifications

Where to Use the Multigrip Open Support In-Line

• Speed Fishing for F1s: Use it to support your landing net handle in-line with your seatbox. This ensures the net head is always in the exact same spot every time you reach for it, creating a faster “net-and-reset” rhythm.

• Narrow Canal Platforms: When space is at a premium and you can’t have arms sticking out at 90 degrees, the in-line support keeps your setup compact and “within the footprint” of the platform.

• River Feeder Fishing: It serves as an excellent secondary support for the butt of your rod when using a long feeder arm, ensuring total stability when the rod tip is positioned high to keep line out of the current.

• Baiting Up: Use it as a steady “third hand” to hold your pole section while you are re-baiting or threading a new rig, keeping both hands free to work.

💡 Gerry’s Pro Tip

I see a lot of lads struggle with their landing net handles blowing around in the wind or sliding into the water. Mount this In-Line Support on your front leg (the one closest to your netting hand). By keeping the handle in-line with the box, you can tuck it right against your side. It’s out of the way of your pole shipping, but the second you hook a fish, your hand drops naturally onto the handle. It’s all about creating that “blind” muscle memory—never take your eyes off the fish!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Does it come with inserts for different leg sizes?

A: Yes, the Garbolino Multigrip system is designed to be universal. It typically comes with the necessary inserts to ensure a perfect fit on 25mm and 30mm legs, while fitting 36mm legs natively.

Q: Can I use this to hold a spare pole section?

A: Absolutely. It’s perfect for resting your “top 4” or “top 5” sections in-line while you fish the margins, keeping them safe from being sat on or kicked.

Q: Is the clamp made of plastic or metal?

A: The main body of the clamp is made from a high-impact, reinforced polymer designed to withstand the stresses of match fishing, while the internal hinge and tightening bolts are high-grade alloy for maximum longevity.

Q: Will it mark my seatbox legs?

A: No. The Multigrip system is designed to apply even pressure around the circumference of the leg. Unlike “screw-in” types that can dent or scratch the metal, this clamp-on system keeps your box looking brand new.
