FRESH:::THINKING

Welcome to Matrix, the new British tackle brand for match and feeder anglers of all abilities and pleasure anglers who use match styles and methods.The ethos behind Matrix is simple. To design and produce tackle which helps you catch more � sh. Tackle which meets your needs and how you � sh, using the latest methods, offers innovative solutions and provides excellent value.

As you will see when looking at the new Matrix product range, there are some outstanding products which offer a superior alternative to what is already available. We call it fresh thinking. Highlights include items from many different product groups ranging from rods and luggage through to feeders and small baiting accessories.

The Carpmaster rod range, designed for the largest section of modern match � shing (commercial waters), includes a revolutionary feeder rod design and made-up transport solution. Since their launch last year these rods have received fantastic reviews by the angling press and anglers are now � nding out just how good they are.

Horizon rods, developed for maximum distance casting, and designed in conjunction with top feeder anglers who often � sh at 90m plus, offer anglers � shing large waters stunning casting performance combined with sensible � sh-playing actions.

Seatboxes are now an important part of modern angling, which is why we have developed the new Matrix Superbox. Based on popular 25mm legs, the minimalist black chassis oozes class and the drawer and tray units are some of the best engineered

examples you’ll ever see. To complement the seatbox is a range of hardware called Snag-free. These products

feature a revolutionary snag-free knuckle design which greatly reduces the chance of line getting snagged

in the mechanism. There is also a new pole roller which comes with a new feature called a ground spike. This enables you to use the roller directly at ground level, perfect for � sheries where there is a small bank behind the peg.

As a company that looks at providing new solutions, we pay special attention to the smaller things too, things that can really

make a difference to your catch rate. The new Evolution Method feeders are a classic example

of our ethos. Available in two models these new feeders let you use larger hookbaits like large pellets

and boilies more effectively and the new ‘Squeeze and Feed’ mould, which can be used with almost all Method feeders, is quite simple the most effective

way to load a Method feeder we have ever seen.

Nearly all of the products in the Matrix range are unique. Designed and tested by us, for speci� c uses, they offer an

alternative to what’s already available and in many instances a better � sh-catching solution. Matrix - it’s fresh thinking.

The new Matrix rod range has received excellent reviews by all who have seen them. The range covers a wide range of match and general � shing styles and has been developed for both UK and European anglers.There are currently four ranges. The Carpmaster has been designed for the latest match carp � shing methods and covers everything from short range feeder work to long range Method feeder � shing and also all � oat methods.

The Horizon range is designed for long range feeder � shing, primarily on large European waters where distance casting is essential.

The Ultron range covers a broad spectrum of � oat and feeder methods and offers excellent value for money, whilst the Re� ex � oat rods have superbly re� ned actions more suitable for traditional stick � oat and waggler � shing.

Finally there are two poles. The Finesse is a � agship 13m match anglers pole designed for international competition � shing throughout Europe where length limits are imposed. The Power X offers outstanding power and value making it suitable for carp � shing in the UK and harbour (line to hand) � shing in Europe.

SEATBOX INTRODUCTION

With its understated matt black ‘stealth-like’ looks, Snag-Free �ttings and brilliant drawer units, the new Matrix Superbox 1 not only looks visually stunning, it performs superbly too.To complement the Superbox 1 there is also a range of additional drawer and storage units plus a fantastic Matrix Trolley which has a revolutionary twin wheel pivot system. This enables you to steer the trolley making it easier to manoeuvre and also ensures the tackle loading base remains horizontal when pushing over sloping ground.

QUICKBITE

Finding a Daiwa Tournament Pro 12ft/13ft Feeder was hard enough even before Steve Ringer won silver in the Feeder World Champs, but Banbury Gunsmiths has half-a-dozen currently in stock. Ring Dan on 01295 265819.

BY MARK SAWYER [email protected] is the first look at what I strongly believe could be the best range of short-to-medium-distance commercial feeder rods ever to have been produced.The 10ft Matrix Carpmaster Feeder is the longest blank in the four-rod set, which has been built using a unique method that eliminates the need for a mid-blank joint. Obviously there are joints – two of them in fact, otherwise we would be looking at a one-piece 10ft rod – a great idea, but highly inconvenient.However, both joints are placed on the blank in such a way that they have very little in�uence over the rod’s actual performance…and boy does it perform!Firstly, let’s look at the handle segment. This has been built with a 34cm length of carbon section, which is �nished with a male spigot, which in turn �ts into the single mid-section. Basically, it’s an elongated dolly-butt, but the length is crucial to the rod’s ease of storage, as well as adding to its casting potential.The second joint is straightforward enough, and has been formed to accommodate special Carpmaster quivertips (there are four available in the range from 0.75oz through to 2oz).These bespoke quivers are slightly shorter and slimmer in diameter than most standard

ones, but blend into the Carpmaster blank’s playing curvature so e�ortlessly that the jointed area is virtually undetectable.The positive consequences of having such a long single section in front of you are, at �rst, pretty much unnoticeable. The rod feels crisp and light, and maybe even a bit too tippy for a feeder rod. A quick pull-round on the tip reveals a very impressive semi-parabolic action, with a seamless �sh-playing hoop that shows no sign of �at spotting. But all this is secondary when it comes to what happens when you actually start �shing with this innovative little rod. Let’s start with casting. The tip speed the 10ft blank is capable of generating is nonsense for such a short rod and really does belie its diminutive stature. My guess would be that, at a push, the rod would be capable of casting a 30g-plus gram feeder 50 metres with ease.Bite registration on the shortened quivertips really does have to be seen to be believed. For those that have experienced savage takes when using braided mainlines with feeder rods – the Matrix Carpmaster delivers the same rod-wrenching bite indication – only with mono�lament on the reel!Next comes the blank’s playing action – it’s sweeter than dipping a sherbet-coated lolly into a jar of syrup before covering it with sugar, and will leave you drooling for more. Forget about non-lock-up parabolic actions, this rod re-writes the playing action book, and has the capacity to handle anything from a small F1, right through to a 20lb lump with equal aplomb.

It’s di�cult to write enough eulogies about this rod, it really is that good. Take my advice; be it a case of beg, steal or borrow, you need to have a few hours on the bank with this dreamy little wand – I’m positive you’ll be just as impressed as I was. RRP £134.99 SSP £119.99

under-gunned, and didn’t have enough casting power. But once I had gotten used to it, I was surprised at just how pokey it was, and I found myself being able to launch a feeder a fair old way.What really surprised me though, was just how positive the bite indication seemed to be, with every fish seeming to rattle the tip right round, it was very impressive indeed. The rod’s playing action was completely flawless, and perfect for carp. And

although I have never been a big fan of short rods, it felt as though it would handle anything from the smallest to the biggest of fish with no danger of a hook-pull.Would I buy one? Well, although I thought that the rod was well worth the money, personally I would have preferred it with a much longer handle (18 inches), so maybe I wouldn’t invest, unless I could get it fitted with an extention piece.”

UP CLOSE

Matrix is the all-new brand with

all-new ideas, and was shown

to me in its entirety by the man

responsible for it… Mr Ricky Teale.

Most of you will know or know of

Ricky, but for those who don’t he’s been

a formidable name in the trade for many,

many years. And, he’s

responsible for a great deal

of the developments that

present themselves before

your very eyes when you

visit your local tackle

shop. So, what’s new

about these rods and what

makes them different

from those sitting in your

holdall already? I wanted

to � nd out.I joined Ricky on the

banks of the famous

The Glebe complex, in

Leicestershire, with the

primary focus of the day being to shoot

a Matrix DVD. However, this gave Ricky

and me the chance to have a proper

chinwag about the brand and each of the

new products that’ll be hitting the shops

soon.The Carpmaster range of rods is

mightily impressive and with three

versions available, at eight, nine and

10 feet in length, it was immediately

apparent these are tools designed

to cater perfectly for the modern

commercial-water angler.

Our � shing on these venues has

changed considerably in recent times,

with tactics like the Method feeder

becoming more and more dominant.

These three rods cover all the tip � shing

al

you could think of, from the shorter

version of the three for little lobs and

‘underarming’ on the pole line to the 10ft

model that’ll chuck a loaded feeder 35 to

40 metres with ease. In brief, this range

precisely covers the vast majority of

commercial-water tip � shing that we do.

Anyway, I’d watched

Ricky catch a few � sh on

the rods while we were

� lming, but I was itching

to have a go myself.

Eventually I managed to

get him off his box so I

could have a chuck and

catch a couple.It’s often hard to describe

a rod until you’ve had a go

with it yourself; it’s more a

‘feel’ thing than something

you can effectively

describe.As soon as I cast Ricky’s

feeder out I could tell the difference. I

could punch it perfectly straight, down

exactly the same ‘hole’ every cast with

no fuss, thanks to the power in the butt

section.Don’t think that these are tools solely

for carp, though; they’re soft enough for

skimmers and other silver � sh that can

play an oh-so-vital part in your catches

during winter.However, I’ve saved one of my

favourite points till last. As soon as I

clapped eyes on these rods I noticed the

extended distance between the butt ring

and reel seat. “What’s the thinking behind that?”

I asked Ricky, who then proceeded to

dismantle the rod to pack it away and

it all became clear. While the rings have

been placed in the optimum position to

get the best from the blank, the position

of the butt ring is placed to align with

your reel’s spool for transportation –

very neat, and one of those brilliant ideas

that proved to me that Ricky has thought

about little other than setting this brand

up to be a very serious contender.

There’s also a very clever little

component referred to at the moment

as ‘the plug’. This basically does away

with any bands to secure your made-up

rods together. All you do is push the

designated sections into the recesses and

twist to lock in place.

There are many other products

available in the Matrix range, from other

rods, feeders and moulds to luggage,

a seatbox and accessories. As you read

this the gear will be hitting your local

stockist.

A net of � sh

caught by Ricky Teale and me

while � lming the Matrix DVD.

Very well thought out rods!

The ‘plug’ does away

with rod bands for

transportation.Carrying your rods ready-made

is a doddle with Matrix.

DEVELOPMENT & REVIEWS

To enable Matrix to produce tackle suited to the speci� c requirements of anglers throughout Europe, we have a very active in-house design and development department. This is the direct link between our ideas and our manufacturers and gives us excellent control of both the design and � nal quality of all Matrix products.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENTAlmost all of the products in the Matrix range has been designed from scratch, using our ‘Fresh Thinking’ philosophy. The design process starts with an idea for a new product that will enable you to � sh more effectively, often as a result of discussions with top anglers. This idea is then visualised by our design team and speci� ed to deliver maximum performance. Initial prototypes are then produced for testing, adjusted and tested again until we are totally satis� ed with their performance before going into production.

The result is a range of products which offer you a forward thinking solution. Rods which not only have

superb casting and � sh-playing actions, but are also easy to transport. Feeders designed for use with bigger hookbaits, because that’s what anglers need as � sh in match waters get larger. A Method Mould that automatically ejects a loaded Method with a simple squeeze rather than having to be pulled out. A brolly which offers more usable space than a standard brolly design.

These products are all a result of the having our own design team working closely with anglers to produce the very best solutions for match and feeder anglers.

BY MARK SAWYER [email protected] is the first look at what I strongly believe could be the best range of short-to-medium-distance commercial feeder rods ever to have been produced.The 10ft Matrix Carpmaster Feeder is the longest blank in the four-rod set, which has been built using a unique method that eliminates the need for a mid-blank joint. Obviously there are joints – two of them in fact, otherwise we would be looking at a one-piece 10ft rod – a great idea, but highly inconvenient.However, both joints are placed on the blank in such a way that they have very little in�uence over the rod’s actual performance…and boy does it perform!Firstly, let’s look at the handle segment. This has been built with a 34cm length of carbon section, which is �nished with a male spigot, which in turn �ts into the single mid-section. Basically, it’s an elongated dolly-butt, but the length is crucial to the rod’s ease of storage, as well as adding to its casting potential.The second joint is straightforward enough, and has been formed to accommodate special Carpmaster quivertips (there are four available in the range from 0.75oz through to 2oz).These bespoke quivers are slightly shorter and slimmer in diameter than most standard

ones, but blend into the Carpmaster blank’s playing curvature so e�ortlessly that the jointed area is virtually undetectable.The positive consequences of having such a long single section in front of you are, at �rst, pretty much unnoticeable. The rod feels crisp and light, and maybe even a bit too tippy for a feeder rod. A quick pull-round on the tip reveals a very impressive semi-parabolic action, with a seamless �sh-playing hoop that shows no sign of �at spotting. But all this is secondary when it comes to what happens when you actually start �shing with this innovative little rod. Let’s start with casting. The tip speed the 10ft blank is capable of generating is nonsense for such a short rod and really does belie its diminutive stature. My guess would be that, at a push, the rod would be capable of casting a 30g-plus gram feeder 50 metres with ease.Bite registration on the shortened quivertips really does have to be seen to be believed. For those that have experienced savage takes when using braided mainlines with feeder rods – the Matrix Carpmaster delivers the same rod-wrenching bite indication – only with mono�lament on the reel!Next comes the blank’s playing action – it’s sweeter than dipping a sherbet-coated lolly into a jar of syrup before covering it with sugar, and will leave you drooling for more. Forget about non-lock-up parabolic actions, this rod re-writes the playing action book, and has the capacity to handle anything from a small F1, right through to a 20lb lump with equal aplomb.


under-gunned, and didn’t have enough casting power. But once I had gotten used to it, I was surprised at just how pokey it was, and I found myself being able to launch a feeder a fair old way.What really surprised me though, was just how positive the bite indication seemed to be, with every fish seeming to rattle the tip right round, it was very impressive indeed. The rod’s playing action was completely flawless, and perfect for carp. And

although I have never been a big fan of short rods, it felt as though it would handle anything from the smallest to the biggest of fish with no danger of a hook-pull.Would I buy one? Well, although I thought that the rod was well worth the money, personally I would have preferred it with a much longer handle (18 inches), so maybe I wouldn’t invest, unless I could get it fitted with an extention piece.”

TESTING THE MATRIX CARPMASTER 1OFT FEEDER

72 • IYCF Issue 255

IYCF January 25 – February 22, 2012 • 73

The 9ft Carpmaster Feeder from new British tackle

company Matrix mixes finesse with power to beat

shy bites and land surprisingly large match carp

CARPMASTER 9FT FEEDER (SSP £124.99)

MATRIX is a new British name

in coarse angling that we’re

going to hear a lot more about

in coming years.

Aimed at match and pleasure anglers on

commercial pools, rivers and canals, Matrix

boasts a comprehensive range of kit running

from a sophisticated seatbox to swivels.

Three rod ranges are on o�er – Carpmaster

for commercial venues (RRPs from £134.99

to £159.99), Horizon long-range feeder rods

(£189.99-£225) and general-purpose float and

feeder Ultron rods (£119.99-£134.99).

With air and water temperatures diving and

bites on the commercials becoming scarce, I

liked the sound of the lightweight, compact,

Carpmaster 9ft Feeder to test, and this

unusual rod turned out to be a winter winner.

An unusual configuration means you get a

short, 65cm (2ft 1in) butt section, the main

1.62m (5ft 4in) fish-playing rod blank and

two, long, very fine push-in glass quivertips

rated at 0.5g and 0.75g. Plug these together

for a sensitive 2.7m (9ft) quiver rod capable of

showing the smallest bite and fish reel lines

from 3lb to 8lb on the commercial carp pools.

The main advantage of this configuration is

that the whole of the rod’s lovely fish-playing

action comes from a single section that plugs

directly into the short butt. Because there’s no

joint in this piece, technicians can engineer

the perfect playing action with a balance

between shock-absorbing upper ‘bend’ to

protect fragile hooklinks and power lower

down the blank to stop big match carp.

The main disadvantage is that it’s not as

easy to transport the rod ready ‘made-up’ in

a sleeve, as it would be with a rod of two equal

length sections. The rod is supplied with a unique EVA

Transport Holder Block which the short butt

and long main section plug into for transport

but I’m not a fan of this set-up. I’ll continue to

use the red elastic bands the postmen insist on

slinging on my drive every morning.

Fishing a 5lb reel line and 0.13mm diameter

(4lb 12oz) hooklink with breadflake on a size

12 hook I caught carp to 6lb in a thoroughly

enjoyable session on a tough, bitterly cold day.

The ultra fine glass quivertips show every

movement but even with the ‘heavier’ 0.75oz

tip in place the strong undertow on the long,

oblong-shaped test pool kept pulling them

right round, even though I normally like to

fish a fairly slack tip in winter (pics below).

For fishing small bombs and micro feeders

weighing up to 1oz at up to 25m range, when

you really need to pick out the bites, it’s a good

’un! Contrary to it’s fragile appearance, it will

also happily land carp into double figures.

There are also 8ft and 10ft versions.

Strangely, both cost an identical £119.99,

compared to the £124.99 for the 9ft model.

Dave’s verdict Smashing, sensitive commercial rod that

more advanced anglers will get results from.

EXCITING NEW CONCEPTAngling Times asked the man behind the new

Matrix brand, Ricky Teale, to tell us what makes

the new Carpmaster feeder rods special.

“Traditional short rods of up to 10ft have a

single joint in the middle of the blank. The new

Matrix rods have the joint just above the handle,

enabling the blank to achieve as near a perfect

action as is possible with a short rod.

“We have always followed tradition with the

construction of short rods, but when you think

about how the blank flexes, the centre joint is

positioned in totally the wrong place with

regard to casting power and fish-playing

action. The one problem with odd jointed rods

is that they are di�cult to transport.

“However, our unique adaptor block now

makes it possible to carry the rods around

ready made-up. Each section is held straight

and firm, without rod bands, and the parallel

section configuration even prevents the

quivertips from bending over,” added Ricky.

This week Angling Times can at last exclusively reveal one of

the best-kept secrets in the tackle trade, the amazing new

carbon concepts that are…Matrix Carpmaster Rods.

This all-new six-rod float and feeder series has been

designed by former Preston Innovations front man Ricky

Teale for modern match methods on commercial waters.

The 8ft, 9ft and 10ft feeder rods reveal a contemporary

build pattern never before seen on any modern-day rod.

The unique design of the blank eliminates the need for a

traditional central joint, and although the rods do have a

spigoted area, it is positioned just above the handle. This

results in a rod without flat spots, because the joint is no

longer aected by the blank’s curvature when placed

under stress. These rods are said to oer a much-improved casting

distance and fish-playing action over traditional

two-piece blanks. All the feeder rods also come with a

revolutionary EVA transport holder block which keeps

the sections parallel and does away with the need for

rod bands.The 11ft and 12ft Matrix

Carpmaster Float rods have a

more normal two-piece

construction and are built on

high modulus carbon blanks

finished o with top grade

guides and fittings. Both

rods have semi-parabolic

actions which help to avoid hook-pulls and line

breakages. The 11ft version has the perfect

action for close to medium-range pellet waggler work, while the 12ft rod has slightly more power for longer casting.

All six of the unique Matrix Carpmaster rods should be available before the New Year, and with prices starting at £119.99 and going up to £139.99, I would expect them to sell like hot cakes.

‘OUR BEST RODS FOR 15 YEARS’



BY MARK [email protected]

Tackle giant Daiwa has cause to be

proud as it unveils new gear for

2012 at the company’s first trade

show of the season.Leading the way in innovation are

the 11ft and 12ft Tournament Multi

Match Float/Feeder rods that have been

designed by the legendary Japanese rod

builder Nori Watanabe speci�cally for

the UK commercial angler.The rods seamlessly convert between

‘�oat’ and ‘tip’ modes by means of a

special spigot joint in the middle of the

blank’s top section. This allows for

the application of either a tubular

(�oat) tip or quiver (feeder) tip section. Twin-topped

blanks have an impeccable build quality

and action thanks to unique new

non-twist torque carbon and Mega-top

quivertip material, proving conclusively

that innovative rod design matches

versatility with performance. However, perfection comes at a price,

because owning one will set you back

£375 for the 11ft version, or £399 for the

12ft model.

Daiwa’s new Float/Feeders

With prices from as little as £199 for the entry level 11m TDXR, climbing to under £1,000 for the superb top-of-the-range 16m

XR5 model, each pole is

supplied with a very attractive spares package. When launched, the new range is my hot tip for

being among next year’s best-sellers.

Image Ballistic ReelsA little bit more in touch with price reality

for the UK angler than the Branzino is

these new Ballistic range of reels.

Available in three sizes – 2500, 3500 and

4000 – they look and feel suitable for all

types of heavy float and feeder/lead

tactics. They oer fast retrieve rates of 6.0

and 6.2:1 and all run on seven ball-bearings

and feature Daiwa Digi Gear, helping to

make them smooth and powerful.

Price £199.99

D50 SeatboxIf you’re short on space but big on

tackle, this super new compact

D50 seatbox will be just the ticket.

The petite space-saver has a

detachable cassette with two large

sliding side drawers and an under

tray. Additional winder space is

underneath the padded pole seat.

With a sturdy aluminium frame, it

comes with a system of arms that

can be used to accommodate

keepnets, bait waiters and feeder

arms. Price £99.99

TDXR Poles

This demure little spinning

reel may look like a standard fixed-spool model but is in fact the

jewel in the crown of Daiwa’s extensive range of

high-end Hyper Exist Branzino reels. It will set

you back a cool £700 and

so I doubt that many will be

sold in this country. But it is

a tackle tart’s dream reel!

Branzino Hyper Exist Reel

New Daiwa Pole FloatsNot exactly a new product from the Daiwa

stable, this super-versatile range of pole

floats still caught my eye. The DP series

features eight modern body patterns – all

have wire and carbon stems, and are finished

o with hollow high-viz bristles.

Price £1.50

Non-twistThe carbon blanks resist twisting with both float and feeder tips in place.

Feeder TipThis fits seamlessly into the top section of

the rod, making it a versatile tool for the commercials.

Daiwa’s trade show did not disappoint in terms of innovation.

CorrectionTwo weeks ago we featured Daiwa’s new

Interlastic Puller Kits, or at least so we

thought. Unfortunately a glitch in our

system meant we actually ended up showing an image of a Digital

Drop-O Alarm, rather than the new top kits. Plus, the eagle-eyed

among you would have noticed that the Daiwa Joint Aligner also

shown was referred to as being labels that tell you the recommended

‘laccy strength’, and obviously this is not the case.

UP CLOSE

Matrix is the all-new brand with

all-new ideas, and was shown

to me in its entirety by the man

responsible for it… Mr Ricky Teale.

Most of you will know or know of

Ricky, but for those who don’t he’s been

a formidable name in the trade for many,

many years. And, he’s

responsible for a great deal

of the developments that

present themselves before

your very eyes when you

visit your local tackle

shop. So, what’s new

about these rods and what

makes them different

from those sitting in your

holdall already? I wanted

to � nd out.I joined Ricky on the

banks of the famous

The Glebe complex, in

Leicestershire, with the

primary focus of the day being to shoot

a Matrix DVD. However, this gave Ricky

and me the chance to have a proper

chinwag about the brand and each of the

new products that’ll be hitting the shops

soon.The Carpmaster range of rods is

mightily impressive and with three

versions available, at eight, nine and

10 feet in length, it was immediately

apparent these are tools designed

to cater perfectly for the modern

commercial-water angler.

Our � shing on these venues has

changed considerably in recent times,

with tactics like the Method feeder

becoming more and more dominant.

These three rods cover all the tip � shing

al

you could think of, from the shorter

version of the three for little lobs and

‘underarming’ on the pole line to the 10ft

model that’ll chuck a loaded feeder 35 to

40 metres with ease. In brief, this range

precisely covers the vast majority of

commercial-water tip � shing that we do.

Anyway, I’d watched

Ricky catch a few � sh on

the rods while we were

� lming, but I was itching

to have a go myself.

Eventually I managed to

get him off his box so I

could have a chuck and

catch a couple.It’s often hard to describe

a rod until you’ve had a go

with it yourself; it’s more a

‘feel’ thing than something

you can effectively

describe.As soon as I cast Ricky’s

feeder out I could tell the difference. I

could punch it perfectly straight, down

exactly the same ‘hole’ every cast with

no fuss, thanks to the power in the butt

section.Don’t think that these are tools solely

for carp, though; they’re soft enough for

skimmers and other silver � sh that can

play an oh-so-vital part in your catches

during winter.However, I’ve saved one of my

favourite points till last. As soon as I

clapped eyes on these rods I noticed the

extended distance between the butt ring

and reel seat. “What’s the thinking behind that?”

I asked Ricky, who then proceeded to

dismantle the rod to pack it away and

it all became clear. While the rings have

been placed in the optimum position to

get the best from the blank, the position

of the butt ring is placed to align with

your reel’s spool for transportation –

very neat, and one of those brilliant ideas

that proved to me that Ricky has thought

about little other than setting this brand

up to be a very serious contender.

There’s also a very clever little

component referred to at the moment

as ‘the plug’. This basically does away

with any bands to secure your made-up

rods together. All you do is push the

designated sections into the recesses and

twist to lock in place.

There are many other products

available in the Matrix range, from other

rods, feeders and moulds to luggage,

a seatbox and accessories. As you read

this the gear will be hitting your local

stockist.

A net of � sh

caught by Ricky Teale and me

while � lming the Matrix DVD.

Very well thought out rods!

The ‘plug’ does away

with rod bands for

transportation.Carrying your rods ready-made

is a doddle with Matrix.

REVIEW I NEW RANGE FROM A BRITISH COMPANY

Since Matrix was launched last year many of our new products have received critical acclaim from leading journalists for their quality and innovation.

WHAT THE PRESS SAY ABOUT MATRIX PRODUCTSTo be brutally honest we don’t produce products to get good reviews, we produce them to get good results for anglers. However we realise that many anglers are in� uenced by reviews and see them as an indication of quality, so we are very proud that many of our new products have been so well received by independent experts.

If you are unsure about buying a Matrix product because it’s a new brand, rest assured that whilst we haven’t been around that long, we have certainly made a powerful impression with people who see more tackle in a month than most anglers see in a lifetime.

12 - 15 Horizon Rod Range

16 - 17 Ultron Rod Range

18 - 19 Reflex Rod Range

20 - 21 Finesse Pole · Power X Pole

The new Matrix rod range has received excellent reviews by all who have seen them. The range covers a wide range of match and general � shing styles and has been developed for both UK and European anglers.There are currently four ranges. The Carpmaster has been designed for the latest match carp � shing methods and covers everything from short range feeder work to long range Method feeder � shing and also all � oat methods.

The Horizon range is designed for long range feeder � shing, primarily on large European waters where distance casting is essential.

The Ultron range covers a broad spectrum of � oat and feeder methods and offers excellent value for money, whilst the Re� ex � oat rods have superbly re� ned actions more suitable for traditional stick � oat and waggler � shing.

Finally there are two poles. The Finesse is a � agship 13m match anglers pole designed for international competition � shing throughout Europe where length limits are imposed. The Power X offers outstanding power and value making it suitable for carp � shing in the UK and harbour (line to hand) � shing in Europe.


CARPMASTER RODS

Designed for the very latest modern match methods on commercial waters, all Carpmaster models can be easily transported in a made-up state thanks to the positioning of the guides and the unique transport rod holder block.

The Carpmaster 8’, 9’ and 10’ Feeder rods have a unique design which eliminates the joint in the � sh-playing area of the rod and provides more � sh playing control.

THE SHORT ROD REVOLUTION



EASY TRANSPORTCarpmaster rods are easy to transport in a made-up state. The transport rod holder block holds the sections parallel to each other and firmly in place without the need for rod bands.

At the heart of the easy transport system is the rod holder transport block. Assembling a Carpmaster rod is easy to do. Firstly remove the sections from the rod holder block.

All feeder rods have a separate short butt section which is easy to place on the main section. This has been designed to remove the main joint from the playing section of the rod.

The hook ring keeper has a fold flat hinged design which makes it easy to attach your hook, a link swivel, or feeder bead to.

CARPMASTER RODS

CARPMASTER RODSSince their launch in 2011, the Carpmaster range has been a huge success. Designed especially for the latest methods, Carpmaster rods are built to the highest standards and incorporate design features that make them easier to transport and better to fi sh with.

The outstanding feeder rods have a unique section design that uses a separate short butt section and a one piece middle section which takes the quivertips. This effectively removes the joint from the playing area of the rod for a seamless playing action. The short butt sections provided more power than normal short rods which improves casting accuracy and also increases fi sh-playing control when catching large carp over 10lbs.

Common Features• High modulus carbon blank

• Semi-parabolic fish-playing action

• Optimum handle lengths for fish-playing and casting

• Quality guides positioned for easy made-up transportation

HARDWARE INTRODUCTION

Using the correct Seatbox and Accessory Hardware is important if you want to � sh effectively and the Matrix range has been designed to do just that. To suit most of the popular boxes now available all Matrix seatbox accessories feature a 25mm round Snag-Free � tting which provides an easy to adjust and secure connection.The range currently includes a selection of Accessory Arms, Groundbait Bowl Hoops and a Pole Sock with Roosts, Side Trays and Feeder Arms to be added throughout this year.

Matrix also produces a brilliant Super Flat Pole Roller in two sizes, with a unique Ground Spike which enables the roller to be used without the legs - perfect for high sloping banks, other Rollers are planned for later this year.

Also in the range are three brollies including the much talked about Space Brolly which has a revolutionary rib system which delivers much more usable space under the canopy. This is available in two versions and includes a � at back version called X3.

ACCESSORIES INTRODUCTION

ACCESSORIESAs anglers we fully understand how the little things like accessories can make a huge difference to your catch rate.Within the accessory range you will see Method feeders with unique designs that make using bigger hookbaits more effective and a mould that is so simple to use we wonder why we didn’t think of it before.

There is also a range of pole pots with bright coloured interchangeable tops which makes cupping in tight to the far bank easier to judge. A full range of elastication products called Linx enable you to colour code your elastic set-ups, a range of high quality pole � oats to cover almost all eventualities and a new range of hooks designed for modern methods.

METHOD FEEDER MOULD• For use with all Matrix Method feeders

• Deep design lets you load up the Method withmorebait than normal moulds if you want

• Soft malleable material for easy ‘Squeeze and Feed’release of feeder

CODE DESCRIPTIONGFR050 Medium Method MouldGFR061 Large Method Mould

The ‘Squeeze and Feed’ Method Mould is the best mould we have ever used. It works with a wide range of different consistency groundbait mixes and also pellets from micro up to 2mm.

Simply fi ll the mould, push the feeder into the groundbait(or pellets), turn the mould over, squeeze the base and the loaded Method drops out cleanly. FILLING THE MOULD

You can use groundbait or pellets in the ‘Squeeze and Feed’ Mould. The unique design enables you to use a wide range of different mixes (including sticky versions) and pellets up to 2mm.

LOADING THE FEEDERSimply push the feeder into the loaded mould. The deep design creates a taller mound of groundbait than other moulds giving the fish a more concentrated target to aim at.

RELEASING THE METHODOnce compressed all you need to do is turn the mould over and squeeze the sides together along the full length. This squeeze pushes the feeder out into your palm.

READY TO CASTBecause the loaded Method feeder is squeezed from the mould (as opposed to being pulled out) the bond between the groundbait and the feeder is intact and strong.

SQUEEZE AND FEED MOULD FEATURES1. The deep moulded ends accommodate most method

feeders and provide more movement for compression.

2. The unique design of the base, with central slots and compression sides, enables the feeder to be ‘squeezed’ out.

3. The small holes in the base of the mould prevent a vacuum forming during compression producing a better loading.

FEEDER RIGGERS• Micro barbed eyed with in-turned point

There are three hooks in the Matrix range which cover almost

all types of modern match fi shing. The Carp Baggers are

barbless spade end hooks designed for ‘bagging’, whilst the Carp Riggers and Feeder Riggers are out-turned eyed

hooks for knotless knot hair rigs. The out-turned eye has

been set at the perfect angle to create the most positive hooking

performance possible when using a knotless knot.

HOOKSRIGGER HOOK FEATURES1. The angle of the out-turned eye is vitally important for hooking

performance when using knotless knots and hair rigs.

If it is too straight (like normal eyed hooks) the hook will turn inwards too far reducing the chance of the hook point taking hold.

If it is too turned-out the hook will be in line with the hooklength and not create an attacking angle. Matrix Rigger hooks have the perfect out-turned angle which results in maximum hooking performance.

2. The bend of Matrix hooks is a hybrid combination of around and crystal bend combined with a wide gape.This offers the best solution for presenting all typesof baits and increases hooking performance.

3. The in-turned point is at the correct angle for deep penetration. The high carbon content of the steel wire, combined with chemical sharpening, produces a strong sharp pointthat is tough enough to deal with ‘bagging’ without blunting.

The Matrix range of pole fl oats covers almost all

match fi shing situations from carp fi shing with big baits to delicate bloodworm fi shing.

POLE FLOATS CARP The Carp Float Range will cover almost all modern match methods used on commercial waters. Build to withstand the punishment of catching big weights all models have over-sized tips for use with large baits and either carbon of fibreglass stems. Fibreglass stems (Series 3 & 8) go through the body and into the hollow tip.

PENCIL In recent years slim bodied ‘Pencil shaped’ floats have become more popular with both carp and silver fish anglers. The three models in the Matrix range covers all requirements. The Series 4 has a thick tip for using with large baits, whilst the Series 5 and 6 have slimmer tips for use with smaller baits and silver fish fishing. All have plastic tips which can be accurately shotted.

SILVER FISH The first of the new Silver fish floats from Matrix are versatile patterns suited to a wide range of styles. More floats will follow in this range during 2012.

The Series 7 is a versatile float for shallow water and has a good sized plastic tip which can easily be shotted. The Series 9 offers brilliant versatility and is designed for fishing on the bottom with a wide range of baits, whilst the Series 10 is designed for fine presentation and has a fibre tip for excellent sensitivity.

SIGHT TIPDesigned for fishing medium and deep stillwaters, the Sight Tip floats offer fantastic sensitivity in rough conditions. Both have long stems for stability and extra long carbon tips, with thicker plastic sight tips. These extra long, thin tips keep the body under the surface skim and combined with the long stems reduce the amount of movement on the float.

HIGH VISIBILITY TOPSAll Toss Pots have high visibility interchangeable tops, which offers several advantages.

The different tops change the rate at which feed falls from the pot, they also reduce the amount of bait spilled when shipping out. Another advantage is that the bright orange tops enable you to clearly see which way up the pot is at distance and also give a good visual indication when fishing tight to the far bank.
