Garbolino Netsy Golden Power

Garbolino Netsy Golden Power Landing Net Handle

When you’re in the middle of a “bagging” session on a commercial fishery, the last thing you want to worry about is a landing net handle that flexes like a noodle or fails at the thread. At Gerry’s Fishing, we know that speed and reliability are the keys to winning matches. That’s why we highly recommend the Garbolino Netsy Golden Power. This isn’t just another handle; it’s a dedicated “power” tool designed specifically for the rigours of modern commercial carp and F1 fishing.

Built using High-Resistance (HR) Carbon with an added Spiral Carbon Wrap, the Netsy Golden Power offers an incredible strength-to-weight ratio. The spiral wrap isn’t just for looks—it provides the structural integrity needed to lift “unit” sized carp while maintaining a slim, manageable diameter that cuts through the water with ease. The take-apart design ensures maximum rigidity, giving you total control when steering a fast-moving F1 toward the mesh.

Key Features & Performance

• Spiral Carbon Technology: The additional spiral wrap reinforces the blank against crushing and bending, making it one of the toughest handles in its class.

   

• Short Top Section: Many models in the range feature a “2+1” configuration, where a short 0.5m top section can be removed. This makes tipping fish into your keepnet much faster and less cumbersome.

   

• Riveted Brass Thread: Unlike glued threads that can pull out under pressure, these are securely riveted, ensuring your net head stays exactly where it should be.

   

• Slim Profile: Despite its power, the handle remains slim and easy to grip, even with wet or groundbait-covered hands.

   

Detailed Specifications

Where to Use the Netsy Golden Power

• Commercial Carp Venues: Perfect for “hit and hold” situations where you need to net a fish quickly to get back among the shoal.

   

• F1 Bagging Sessions: The 3.1m length is the “Goldilocks” zone for F1 fishing, offering enough reach for long-pole work but enough speed for short-line “slapping.”

• High-Bank Rivers: Use the 4.4m version for fishing high-banked rivers or canals where a standard 2m handle simply won’t reach the water.

• Speed Fishing: The short tip section is a game-changer when you need to “scoop and tip” small fish into the keepnet in one fluid motion.

   

💡 Gerry’s Pro Tip

If you find yourself in a heavy bagging session where you’re netting fish every few minutes, remove the short tip section if you’re fishing close-in. This shortens the handle significantly, turning it into a “short-reach” power tool that is much easier to manage over a keepnet. Also, always give your brass thread a quick spray of silicone or a wipe of PTFE every few sessions to keep the net heads spinning on and off smoothly!

 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Is this handle too heavy for one-handed use?

A: No. Despite the “Power” branding, the HR carbon keeps the weight down. It is perfectly balanced for one-handed netting while you hold your pole or rod in the other.

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

A: While it is exceptionally strong, it is designed as a match/commercial handle. For specimen carp in the 20lb+ bracket, we would recommend a dedicated specimen handle, but for anything up to mid-doubles, the Netsy Golden Power is more than capable.

Q: Will it fit all standard landing net heads?

A: Yes, the riveted brass thread is a standard universal size that will fit net heads from Garbolino, Preston, Daiwa, Guru, and almost any other major manufacturer.

Q: Why choose the take-apart design over a telescopic one?

A: Take-apart handles are significantly stiffer and allow you to use them at different lengths by removing sections. Telescopic handles often trap water and grit inside the sections, which can cause wear over time.
