FAQs
What elastic size is this kit rated for?
The Matrix XTR Power Kit is rated for ESR (Elastic Strength Rating) up to size 18 elastic.
Can I use this kit with non-Matrix poles?
While the PTFE bush may fit, the kit is designed and optimized for Matrix elite pro pole systems. Compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed and may affect performance.
How do I store rigs on this kit?
The kit is designed to break down equally. You can store pre-tied rigs on spare top kits that fit within the collapsed length of this power kit, making for efficient storage of multiple setups.
What is the benefit of the Revolve side puller?
The Revolve side puller allows for quick and easy adjustment of your elastic tension directly on the pole without needing to dismantle parts of the kit, which is crucial for adapting to different fish and conditions rapidly.
How should I clean the Glide anti-friction finish?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the taped finish. Avoid abrasive materials or strong cleaning agents that could damage the tape.
Is the 2.5m length suitable for all types of fishing?
The 2.5m length is ideal for many modern commercial fisheries and versatile fishing scenarios. For extremely tight or confined spaces, a shorter kit might be preferred, but this length offers good reach for general use.
Troubleshooting
Elastic not running smoothly
Ensure the internal PTFE bush is clean and free of debris. Check for any damage to the anti-friction tape. Verify that the elastic is not caught on anything internally.
Pole feels sticky or difficult to extend/retract
Clean the Glide anti-friction taped finish with a damp cloth. Ensure the pole section itself is clean. Check for any obstructions within the pole section or the kit.
Revolve side puller is stiff
Gently rotate the side puller to dislodge any debris. A very small amount of silicone grease applied sparingly to the threads might help, but use with caution to avoid attracting dirt.
Kit does not fit pole section securely
Verify that you are using a compatible Matrix elite pro pole section. Ensure no debris is obstructing the connection point.
Pros and Cons

- Convenient rig storage when broken down.
- Precise depth setting with printed markers.
- Enhanced control with the Revolve side puller.
Cons
- Primarily designed for elite pro pole systems, may not be universally compatible.
- The 2.5m length might be too long for very confined fishing spots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Matrix XTR Power Kit is designed to be inserted into compatible elite pro pole sections. Ensure the internal diameter of your pole section matches the kit's requirements. The Revolve side puller can be adjusted by gently rotating it to achieve the desired elastic tension. Printed depth markers can be used as guides; for absolute precision, consider marking your pole yourself with a permanent marker at your preferred depths.
Compatibility: This kit is specifically designed to work with Matrix elite pro pole systems. While the PTFE bush is a standard size, the overall fit and performance are optimized for Matrix poles. Confirm that your pole's internal diameter is suitable for a 2.5m power kit.
Care: To maintain optimal performance, regularly clean the internal PTFE bush with a soft, damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Inspect the reinforced carbon band and the Glide anti-friction tape for any signs of wear or damage. Store the kit properly when not in use, preferably in a pole tube or case, to protect it from impacts and environmental damage. Avoid exposing the kit to extreme temperatures for prolonged periods.
