Product Information
Full details
The Matrix Super Short Dacron Connectors are precision-engineered for match and coarse anglers who demand high sensitivity and reliable bite detection. These connectors feature a super short, stiff coated design to minimize tangles and maximize direct contact with the hookbait. While they provide exceptional performance for fine-tuned setups, beginners may find the stiff nature of the material requires a brief adjustment period during the initial rigging process.

FAQs
How many connectors come in a pack?
Each pack of Matrix Super Short Dacron Connectors contains 5 individual units.
Are these suitable for light coarse fishing?
Yes, they are specifically designed to aid in sensitivity for match and coarse fishing applications.
What is the benefit of the stiff coating?
The stiff coating prevents the connector from tangling around the pole tip and ensures direct transmission of bites.
Can I use these with any pole elastic?
These are compatible with most standard match pole elastics, but ensure you select the correct connector size for your specific elastic diameter.
How do I clean the TPR beads?
Simply rinse them with fresh water after use to remove any silt or groundbait residue.
Troubleshooting
Connector sliding on the line
Ensure the bead is pushed firmly onto the Dacron segment and check that your main line thickness matches the connector size.
Difficulty threading the line
Use a specialized baiting needle to guide the line through the bead if the hole is too tight.
Dacron material becoming frayed
Trim any loose fibers with sharp braid scissors or replace the connector if the integrity of the loop is compromised.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up these connectors, ensure your pole elastic is prepared with a clean loop or attachment point. Slide the TPR bead onto your rig line carefully to avoid fraying the Dacron material. When not in use, ensure these connectors are stored in a cool, dry place to prevent the material from becoming brittle. Regularly inspect the TPR beads for signs of wear or cracking after intensive sessions to maintain peak performance. While these are designed for high durability, replacing them after a full season of heavy use is recommended to prevent line failure.
