Garbolino Gwhip One Telefloat – 6m

Garbolino Gwhip One Telefloat (6m)

The Versatile Giant for Deep Water and Long-Range Control

The Garbolino Gwhip One Telefloat 6m is the flagship length of the Telefloat series, offering an impressive reach that bridges the gap between a standard rod and a full-sized pole. While smaller lengths excel in tight swims, the 6m version is designed for wide rivers, deep lakes, and technical venues where keeping your line off the water is the difference between a natural presentation and a spooked fish.

Constructed from a high-modulus carbon composite, this rod is surprisingly lightweight for its length, weighing in at approximately 370g510g (depending on the specific configuration). Despite its fine and precise feel, it retains a powerful 40g max float lift, making it a robust tool for launching bombettes or heavy sliders with total confidence.

Why the 6m Gwhip One Telefloat is a Technical Masterpiece

• Extended Reach & Line Control: The 6m length provides incredible leverage, allowing you to mend your line over surface currents or reach past marginal lily pads and reed beds that shorter rods simply cannot clear.

• Tied SIC Rings: Professional-grade ligatured (tied) SIC guides ensure that even under the stress of a long-distance cast with a 30g40g load, the line flows smoothly with minimal friction and heat buildup.

• Non-Slip Grip & Ergonomics: Features a dedicated non-slip handle and a metal plate reel seat that locks your reel securely in place, providing a balanced feel that is essential for long sessions.

• Ultra-Portable Telescopic Design: Despite extending to 6 metres, it collapses down to a manageable 120cm transport length, making it easy to store in a standard rod holdall.

• Carbon Sensitivity: The carbon blank translates every vibration directly to your hand, allowing you to feel the most delicate of silverfish bites even when fishing at full extension.

Ideal Applications & Scenarios

• Big River Bolognese: The ultimate tool for trotting a float down large rivers like the Trent or the Wye, where the 6m length keeps your line out of the near-bank slack water.

• Deep Stillwater Bombette Fishing: Perfect for casting weighted bombettes to surface-feeding trout or predators in the middle of large reservoirs.

• High Bank Scenarios: Ideal for fishing from high canal towpaths or steep river banks where a shorter rod wouldnt be able to reach the waters surface comfortably.

• Coastal Pier Fishing: A fantastic choice for light-float fishing from high piers for mackerel, garfish, or wrasse, providing the length needed to steer fish away from barnacle-covered pilings.

Gerrys Pro Tip

The 6m Telefloat is a serious piece of kit for the money. If youve never used a rod this long, the biggest advantage is the pickup. Because of the length, when you strike, you move a massive amount of line instantly, which is perfect for hooking fish at long range or in deep water. Pro Tip: Balance is key at 6m. I recommend pairing this with a slightly larger 3000 or 4000-sized reel. The extra weight at the handle end will actually make the rod feel tip-light and much more comfortable to hold for a 5-hour match
