Far too many new Matrix tackle items<\/a> to go through them all (what a huge launch!), so here\u2019s my top five picks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

XR Duralite Platform<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A one-piece platform in anodised black and just perfect for getting in the water, which I\u2019m 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freeflow Pro Roller<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best rollers on the market just got even better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maggot Feeders<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Horizon Pro 4 Rod Holdall<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Commercial Carp Rigs<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Save the best to last as these new pre-tied hooks are the best I\u2019ve 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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
