Product Details and Uses

Garbolino Olivette Match – Inline

The Garbolino Olivette Match Inline is a premium weight system designed for the discerning pole angler who demands perfect presentation. Unlike standard split shot, which can damage the line and cause tangles, these pear-shaped olivettes provide a streamlined and stable alternative for bulk-loading your rigs. Being an inline model, the line passes directly through the center of the weight, making it “captive” and ensuring it stays perfectly aligned with the float.

Each olivette features an impeccable turned finish and is painted in a stealthy black color to eliminate underwater glare. To ensure maximum line safety, they are designed to be mounted on a silicone sleeve, providing a protective buffer that prevents the metal from coming into direct contact with your delicate rig mono.

Key Performance Features

Pear-Shaped Stability: The tapered pear design is engineered for optimal stability. It cuts through the water cleanly on the drop and remains rock-steady in the swim, which is essential for “holding back” in a flow or keeping a bait still on the bottom.
Inline Captive System: Because the line passes through the olivette, it cannot fall off the rig. This design also ensures the weight is perfectly centered, resulting in a more vertical and accurate presentation of the hookbait.
Silicone Protection: These olivettes are intended to be used with a small piece of silicone tubing. The tubing acts as a shock absorber, protecting your nylon from the weight’s edges and allowing you to slide the bulk up or down without causing “line burn” or curls.
Stealth Finish: The black painted finish is a significant upgrade over raw lead. It prevents the “flash” that can spook wary fish in clear water and protects the material from the elements.
Clearly Marked Weights: Each olivette is individually marked with its weight, allowing for lightning-fast rig building and ensuring your float is perfectly balanced every time.

Ideal Usage Scenarios

Deep Water Pole Fishing: The most efficient way to get a bait down quickly to the bottom on deep lakes or slow-moving rivers.
River Trotting/Holding Back: Excellent for river rigs where you need a concentrated “bulk” to counteract the current and keep the float under control.
Specimen Silverfish Rigs: Ideal for targeting skimmers and bream where a stable, stationary bait is often required to induce a take.
“On the Drop” Finesse: While heavy, the pear shape allows for a smooth, controlled descent through the water column when using light olivettes.

Gerry’s Tip: When building an inline olivette rig, I always place two or three small “dropper” shots below the olivette. This prevents the weight from sliding right down to the hook and allows you to adjust the “telltale” distance to suit how the fish are feeding. By using the silicone mounting, you can change your bulk position instantly to adapt to the depth without having to rebuild the entire rig
