Garbolino Xslim Anniversary 80 Competition Twin Scoop Landing Net Handle

Description

The Garbolino Xslim Anniversary 80 Competition Twin Scoop 1000 is a landing net handle built to mark 80 years of Garbolino angling innovation, and sits at the top of the brand's range. It uses High Modulus (HM) carbon to keep the profile incredibly thin while staying exceptionally rigid, even at its full 5.4m length. The Twin Scoop design places two reinforced, riveted brass threads on different sections, effectively giving you two handles in one: a long, ultra-stiff reach for high banks and technical silverfish work, or a shorter, more powerful configuration for commercial carp bagging. Key design points: - Parallel Section Technology: a parallel extension piece keeps the handle ultra-slim without losing rigidity, improving handling in high winds and reducing the bounce common in long handles. - Versatile Length Options: at full four-section length with the parallel section fitted it reaches 5.4m; removing the parallel section leaves a 4.5m high-end competition handle. - Twin Scoop Dual Thread System: riveted brass threads on both the first and second sections let you remove the fine tip section to create a shorter, ultra-rigid power handle for landing large carp or fishing tight swims. - HM Carbon Construction: premium High Modulus carbon gives a featherweight feel, so the handle can be held at full extension for hours with minimal arm fatigue. - Exceptional Rigidity: engineered to stay dead straight under the weight of large match nets, for the precision needed to scoop fish as they surface. Where it suits the angler: - International Championship Fishing: built for demanding venues at home and abroad where long reach and precision matter. - High Bank Rivers and Canals: the 5.4m reach helps net fish safely on steep-banked rivers such as the Trent or the Wye, where a standard 4m handle will not reach. - Mixed Commercial Matches: use the full length for technical F1 fishing, or switch to the second thread configuration for maximum power when targeting double-figure bonus carp. - Wading Tactics: the ultra-slim diameter moves through the water easily while wading, reducing drag and improving netting speed. Specifications: - Full Length: 5.40m - Standard Length: 4.50m (without parallel section) - Sections: 4 - Material: High Modulus (HM) Carbon - Threads: 2 x Riveted Brass (Twin Scoop System) - Finish: Ultra-Slim Xslim Anniversary Design - SKU: GOMNP6267540-4 The parallel section is the standout feature: because it does not taper, it adds stiffness exactly where most handles begin to flex, which helps when fishing venues with a lot of flow or wind. A 1.4m extension is available separately, taking the handle to 6.8m for extreme natural venues.
