FAQs

What is the maximum elastic size I can use?

How long is the kit?

The XTR Grey F1 Super Short Kit is exactly 1.7m long.

Does it come with a PTFE bush installed?

Is this kit suitable for deep water fishing?

No, the 1.7m length is designed specifically for shallow water fishing.

How heavy is the kit?

The kit weighs only 26.5g.

Can I use this on non-Matrix poles?

Compatibility varies; it is recommended to check your pole's specific top-kit specification or use a universal converter if applicable.

Troubleshooting

Elastic sticking inside the top kit

Clean the inside of the kit using a dedicated pole elastic cleaner and check the PTFE bush for any debris or scratches.

Difficulty shipping the pole

Check the Glide anti-friction tape for residue and wipe the section down with a clean, lint-free cloth.

Side puller failing to retract

Inspect the internal puller bead to ensure it is correctly aligned and the elastic is not tangled inside the section.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Extremely lightweight at 26.5g
Anti-spook grey finish reduces fish activity detection
Pre-fitted with PTFE bush and side puller
Excellent for fast-paced shallow fishing

Cons

Restricted to shallow water applications due to 1.7m length
Not suitable for very heavy elastics above size 12
Shorter reach compared to standard match kits

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up this kit, simply feed your chosen hollow elastic through the 3.8mm PTFE bush and connect it to the Revolve side puller. The kit is compatible with various Matrix pole systems, though users should ensure their current pole sections are designed to accept XTR series kits.

Care instructions include wiping down the Glide anti-friction finish with a dry, soft cloth after every session to remove silt or grit, which can cause premature wear on the carbon. Always store the kit in a protective tube when not in use to prevent crushing damage to the thin-walled, lightweight carbon.
