Troubleshooting
Top kit sections stick or are difficult to slide.
Ensure the sections are clean and dry. Apply a thin layer of silicone grease to the male ferrule if necessary. Check for any debris lodged within the sections.
Elastic not functioning smoothly.
Verify the elastic is correctly threaded through the internal PTFE bush and side pullers. Ensure the elastic is not twisted and has adequate lubrication if required.
Side pullers feel stiff or difficult to adjust.
Check the side pullers for any obstructions or debris. Gently clean the mechanism. Ensure the elastic is not excessively tight around the puller.
Reduced strength or signs of delamination.
Inspect the carbon layers for any visible damage. If structural integrity is compromised, cease use and consider replacement to avoid failure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Matrix Torque Carp Power Top Kit is designed to be a direct fit for Matrix Torque poles. Ensure the top kit sections slide smoothly into the pole's butt section. The internal PTFE bush is pre-fitted, and the revolve side pullers are ready for elastic threading. Elastic should be set up according to the manufacturer's recommendations for a 20+ rating, ensuring it is taut but allows for smooth operation.
Compatibility: This top kit is specifically engineered for the Matrix Torque pole range. While the internal dimensions are designed to fit these poles, always check the fit before fishing.
Care: After each use, wipe down all sections of the top kit with a clean, damp cloth to remove any dirt, sand, or debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Store the top kit in a protective tube or within your pole holdall to prevent damage during transport. Periodically check the PTFE bush for wear and ensure the side pullers operate freely.
