Garbolino Latex Light Match Landing Net D40

Description

The Garbolino Latex Light Match D40 is a landing net head built for match anglers who want the hook-safe properties of latex without the usual weight penalty. It is the lightest head in the Garbolino LATEX series, and its ultra-light black D-shape hoop keeps the net manoeuvrable in the water, so you can make split-second adjustments when a fish makes a final bolt for freedom. The 5mm latex mesh is fish-friendly and highly resistant to hook snags. Whether you are fishing barbed hooks or hair-rigged bands, the smooth latex coating stops the mesh from trapping your tackle, so you spend your time catching fish rather than untangling nets. - Featherweight handling: as the lightest latex head in the range, it minimises strain on your landing net handle, making it easier to use at long lengths (4m and above) during a long match session. - Hook-safe latex mesh: the 5mm black latex coating is durable and snag-resistant, making it a strong choice for barbed hooks or rapid-stop hair rigs that often get threaded in traditional nylon nets. - Protective mesh: the soft-touch latex is designed to protect the fish's vital mucus layer and scales, helping your catch stay in peak condition, which matters for high-standard competition and fish welfare. - Reinforced D-shape hoop: the black D-section aluminium frame provides structural strength while staying slimline to cut through the water with minimal resistance. Ideal uses include bagging F1s and match-sized carp, where the 40cm diameter and 30cm depth give enough security without unnecessary bulk. On venues that allow barbed hooks, the latex mesh helps prevent time-consuming tangles. Its ultra-light nature suits rapid scooping of large roach, skimmers and perch when you need to keep a high rhythm, and the stealthy black frame and mesh reduce the shadow cast by the net, helping prevent wary fish from spooking at the netting stage. - Diameter: 40cm - Net Depth: 30cm - Mesh Size: 5mm - Material: High-Grade Black Latex Coating - Hoop Design: Lightweight Black D-Shape Aluminum - Series: Lightest in the LATEX Series One practical advantage of a latex net beyond snag resistance is hygiene and drying time. Unlike traditional fabric nets that soak up water and odours, this latex mesh can be shaken almost dry instantly, so a quick swirl in the water and a good shake at the end of a match means you are not left with a damp, smelly net in your car or van. Pairing it with a lightweight carbon handle helps keep the total setup as balanced as possible.
