Garbolino Netsy Silver Power 340 Twin Scoop Handle | 4.00m
The Perfect Balance of Reach and Raw Power
If you’re looking for a landing net handle that can handle the frantic pace of a silverfish match but won’t buckle when a “clunker” of a bonus carp decides to show up, the Garbolino Netsy Silver Power 340 is your new go-to. Here at Gerry’s Fishing, we’ve found the 4m version to be the “sweet spot” for most UK anglers—long enough for high banks, yet light enough to be used all day without your arms feeling like lead.
What makes the “Silver Power” series stand out is its structural integrity. While it’s designed for the silverfish circuit, it has significantly more “backbone” than a pure competition handle. Weighing in at just 370g, it is a precision carbon tool that feels balanced even at its full 4.00m length. The Twin Scoop system gives you two separate brass screw threads, allowing you to use all three sections for maximum reach or drop the butt section to create a shorter, ultra-stiff handle for speed fishing in the margins.

Where to Use the Netsy Silver Power 340 (4m)
This 4m handle is arguably the most versatile length for the modern match angler:
-
Natural Rivers & Canals: Perfect for the Weaver, the Dee, or the Trent where you need that extra meter of reach to clear marginal weeds or reeds.
-
Commercial “Silverfish” Matches: Designed to handle big nets of Skimmers, F1s, and Hybrids where speed and stiffness are essential.
-
High-Bank Venues: If your local club water has steep banks or high wooden platforms, the 4m length ensures you aren’t over-stretching and risking a fall.
-
Large Stillwaters: Ideal for “skimming” Bream across the surface at distance, keeping them moving toward you before they have a chance to dive.
💡 Gerry’s Pro Tip
“The ‘Twin Scoop’ thread on the second section is a game-changer for speed. If you find yourself catching a fish every cast on the ‘short line’ or in the margins, take the butt section off. Using the handle at roughly 2.8m via the second thread makes it incredibly stiff. You can literally ‘flick’ the net under a fish much faster than you can with a full-length handle. It’s those small efficiency gains that win sections!”
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this handle strong enough for carp?
Yes! While it’s part of the “Silver” range, the “Power 340” designation means it has thicker carbon walls than the pure competition models. It’s perfect for the “all-rounder” who might hook a 10lb carp while fishing for skimmers.
What is the benefit of the 1.50m closed length?
It makes the handle incredibly easy to transport. It will fit into almost any standard pole or rod holdall without taking up unnecessary space.
Are the brass threads pinned?
Garbolino uses high-quality brass threads that are both glued and pinned for maximum security. They are designed to stay put, even when you’re lifting heavy nets of fish.
Does it feel ‘floppy’ at 4 meters?
Not at all. Because of the high-resistance carbon composite, the Netsy Silver Power 340 remains remarkably stiff. It doesn’t have the “droop” often associated with cheaper, heavier fiberglass or low-grade carbon handles.
