<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s a really comprehensive family with wire, carbon and glass stem models with just the right tip diameters. I used carbon-stemmed F1 SLIMS all winter at Tunnel Barn Farm and also on a lot of commercial silverfish waters as the 1.5mm tip is spot on. The 0.2g size was ideal for that golden 3ft to 4ft catching depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My DIBBER SHALLOWS are tied up ready for some shallow bagging. The 0.1g is a lovely dinky little pattern when they\u2019re swirling for the bait, the 0.2g is my general \u2018carp plopper\u2019 and the 0.3g size is perfect for big pellets, slapping and mugging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For general carping I\u2019ve used the SLIM CARBON no end already and have a full tray tied up. On my last few outings the SLIM WIRE has been vital for extra stability. You\u2019ll hopefully see them working their magic on a recent film I shot with Matrix, as it was rather windy that day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The final pattern I must mention is the MUD LINE. Now that Spring has finally arrived the 0.4g and 0.5g are designed for island and margin work when a heavy bulked-down float is ideal. However, I\u2019ve also been using the 0.2g all winter for dobbing bread. This float has also been great for shallow carping when I\u2019ve needed a bit of stealth and finesse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So there\u2019s just a few of the new patterns to whet your appetites! It\u2019s not just new floats that Matrix has launched; Pole Float Silicone, Soft Shot, Cube Shot, Super Short Dacrons and Super Soft Bait Bands are all hitting the tackle shop shelves very very soon, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Check out the Fish Matrix website<\/a> to see all the new goodies! A new film covering all the latest gear is also on the Matrix YouTube Channel<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Did somebody say NEW FLOATS? I\u2019m like a kid in a sweetshop when that happens! With all the other Matrix consultants I’ve been helping to field test and perfect the new Matrix pole floats...<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5359,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5352","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rigs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5352","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5352"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5352\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5360,"href":"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5352\/revisions\/5360"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5359"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5352"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5352"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
