Garbolino Set Of 2 Pole Pots

Garbolino Set of 2 Pole Pots

The Garbolino Set of 2 Pole Pots is a high-efficiency feeding system designed for match and competition anglers who need to deliver large volumes of bait with pinpoint accuracy. Unlike smaller “drip” pots, these high-capacity cups are engineered for “dumping” or “sprinkling” significant quantities of groundbait and loose feed directly over your pole tip.

The set includes two distinct sizes (130 ml and 260 ml), providing the versatility to switch between “priming” a swim at the start of a session and “topping up” as the fish begin to feed. Their lightweight yet robust construction ensures they won’t overbalance your top kit, even when fully loaded.

Technical Specifications

Key Performance Features

• Dual-Bait Delivery: These pots are designed to “hold your balls in place”—specifically groundbait or leam balls. However, the depth of the cup also allows you to fill the voids around the balls with loose particles like hemp, corn, or pellets, allowing for a multifaceted feeding approach in a single drop.

• Tapered Internal Connectors: The set comes with specific attachments designed to fit onto the end of your “cupping kit.” These provide a secure, wobble-free fit, ensuring the bait drops exactly where the float is positioned.

• Impact-Resistant Polymer: Made from a durable plastic that can withstand the occasional knock against a side tray or the ground, yet remains light enough to maintain the balance and recovery speed of your pole.

• Strategic Perforations: Small holes in the base of the cups prevent a vacuum from forming when the cup hits the water, ensuring that “sticky” groundbait or wet pellets release cleanly and immediately.

• Visual Accuracy: The neutral grey/translucent finish of the cups is designed to be low-visibility from sub-surface view, reducing the risk of “spooking” fish in shallow water or when cupping in the margins.

Ideal Usage Scenarios

• Initial Baiting: Use the 260 ml cup at the start of a match to quickly deposit 5–10 large balls of groundbait to build a solid “base” in your swim.

• Margin “Slop” Fishing: Perfect for delivering “soupy” groundbait and micros in the margins for carp, where a large volume of bait is needed to keep fish on the bottom.

• River & Deep Water: Ideal for cupping in heavy leam or clay balls combined with chopped worm and casters when precision is more effective than catapulting.

• Winter Specimen Work: Use the 130 ml cup for a more conservative “little and often” approach with pellets or corn when fish are less active.

Gerry’s Tip: When using the large 260 ml pot, always make sure your cupping kit is strong enough to handle the weight. A full pot of wet groundbait can be surprisingly heavy! I like to use the Garbolino Sky Top Kits—the stiffness of the carbon ensures that when you “tip” the pot, there is zero bounce, meaning your bait lands in a tight 6-inch circle rather than spreading out
