Garbolino Roller Match Series 60cm

Garbolino Roller Match Series 60cm: The “All-Terrain” Solution

The Garbolino Roller Match Series 60cm is one of the most versatile pole rollers on the market, specifically engineered for match anglers who encounter varying bank conditions. The standout feature of this model is the dual interchangeable leg system, allowing you to adapt the height and stability of the roller to any terrain—from flat concrete platforms to steep, uneven natural banks.

At 60cm wide, the roller is split into two 30cm sections, enabling you to ship back two separate poles or top kits simultaneously without them tangling. Every moving part is fitted with ultra-smooth roller bearings, ensuring your pole glides effortlessly during high-speed shipping.

Technical Specifications

Key Performance Features

• Dual-Interchangeable Leg System: This roller comes with two distinct sets of four legs. Use the Short Set to position the roller flush to the ground (ideal for high banks or flat fields) or the Long Set to reach over tall grass and obstacles.

• Beveled Vertical Rollers: The new vertical uprights are beveled inward. This “V-shape” design funnels the pole toward the center, preventing it from jumping out of the roller during violent gusts of wind or rapid unshipping.

• Zero-Grip Bearings: The internal bearings are optimized for lightning-fast retraction. This is critical in “bagging” scenarios where speed translates directly to a higher match weight.

• Extreme Ground Stability: For ultra-low work, the roller can be used with the feet completely folded, sitting directly on the frame. Combined with the Anti-Wind Stabilization Hook, you can hang a water bucket or sandbag to ensure the roller never moves.

• Spirit Level Precision: Two integrated spirit levels allow you to ensure the roller is perfectly horizontal. This prevents the pole from “sliding” to one side, which can cause wear on the carbon and affect your rhythm.

Ideal Usage Scenarios

• Steep Natural Banks: Use the long, extendable legs to level the roller on a 45-degree slope, keeping your pole high enough to clear the bankside.

• Double Shipping: Perfect for matches where you are alternating between a long line and a short line; keep your second top kit safely on one 30cm half while you fish with the other.

• High-Wind Conditions: The beveled uprights and stabilization hook make this one of the most “blow-proof” rollers available for open, exposed venues.

• Professional Match Circuits: The modular design means you only need to carry one roller to cover every possible bank scenario you might encounter during a festival.

Gerry’s Tip: When you’re fishing on a very windy day, don’t just extend the legs—keep the roller as low as possible and use the central hook to hang your groundbait bucket. By lowering the center of gravity and using the weight, you create a “rock-solid” anchor. Also, always keep the spare set of legs in the provided carry bag; you’ll be amazed how often you need to switch them mid-match when the terrain changes
