Garbolino Special Silvers Hooks To Nylon – Barbless: The Speed Master
The Garbolino Special Silvers Hooks To Nylon (Barbless) is a high-performance, ready-tied rig specifically designed for speed fishing for silverfish. When targeting roach, dace, and bleak, especially on natural venues or canals, every second counts. These rigs eliminate the downtime of tying delicate, fine-wire hooks on the bank, allowing you to stay in the zone and maintain a high catch rate.
Featuring a distinctive crystal blue finish, the hooks are forged with a long shank and a fine wire gauge. This design is optimized for delicate bait presentations, such as pinkies, bloodworms, or small pieces of bread punch, ensuring the bait remains lively and attractive without being damaged by the hook.

Key Performance Features
-
Speed-Focused Design: The long shank is not just for bait presentation—it makes unhooking incredibly fast. This is a critical advantage when “swinging” fish to hand and aiming for maximum weight in a short session.
-
Crystal Blue Finish: The blue coating provides a subtle, low-visibility profile in clear water while resisting corrosion. It also adds a slight “slickness” to the hook, aiding in faster penetration.
-
Fine Wire Gauge: The ultra-thin wire ensures that small, fragile baits like bloodworms or squats aren’t burst during baiting, preserving their natural movement and scent trail.
-
30 cm Leader Versatility: The 30 cm length provides a natural, soft fall for the bait. For pole fishing, many anglers prefer to use them at full length, but they can be easily trimmed down for shorter-range work or specialized canal rigs.
-
Professional Knot Strength: Every hook is machine-tied to exacting standards, ensuring that the spade-end knot is perfectly aligned and that the line exits the front of the spade for the most aggressive hooking angle.
Ideal Usage Scenarios
-
Speed Fishing for Bleak: When the fish are “on it,” the barbless long shank allows you to pop the hook out instantly with a disgorger (or even by hand), getting your rig back in the water within seconds.
-
Natural Venue Matches: Perfect for river and canal festivals where small roach and dace are the primary targets and finesse is required to fool wary fish in clear water.
-
Winter League Silvers: Excellent for scratching out a weight when fish are lethargic and require the thinnest possible line and finest hooks to register a bite.
-
Beginner-Friendly: A reliable, high-quality option for anglers who aren’t yet comfortable tying Size 20 hooks to 0.10 mm line by hand.
Gerry’s Tip: If you find you are getting “bumped” fish while speed fishing, try checking the hook point frequently. Fine-wire hooks are incredibly sharp but can occasionally turn if they hit the bottom or a hard part of the fish’s mouth. At 10 per pack, don’t be afraid to change your hooklength the moment you feel the point isn’t 100% “sticky” sharp
