My Top Five Picks!

Far too many new Matrix tackle items to go through them all (what a huge launch!), so here’s my top five picks!

XR Duralite Platform

A one-piece platform in anodised black and just perfect for getting in the water, which I’m doing a lot lately. I never actually packed-down my old original MK1 Duralite platform away, so this being one-piece makes it so much more convenient. Four 36mm legs for super stability, drainage holes, spirit levels. Just perfect.

Freeflow Pro Roller

The best rollers on the market just got even better!

Maggot Feeders

I do loads of block-end feeder fishing every year and these are ideal for so many situations, and not just for maggots on commercials. Nice big slotted eyes for a fast release of bait.

Horizon Pro 4 Rod Holdall

I’ve been using a 4-rod holdall loads the past two years and actually cram in 8 rods more often than not, so long as I carefully stagger them. These rigid-style holdalls are absolutely ideal for me and this newer model just looks amazing.

Commercial Carp Rigs

Save the best to last as these new pre-tied hooks are the best I’ve seen AND with the best hooks on them! Available in both 4in and 6in makes things so much more convenient and the non-kinking packaging is the best concept out there. I just hope Matrix have enough in stock to supply the demand!
