FAQs
What type of poles is this kit compatible with?
This kit is specifically designed to work with elite Matrix pro pole systems. Compatibility with other brands may vary and is not guaranteed.
What is the maximum elastic size this kit can handle?
The kit has an ESR rating to size 18 elastic, meaning it is suitable for elastics up to size 18.
How does the Glide anti-friction finish help?
The Glide finish reduces friction between the elastic and the internal surface of the kit, ensuring a smoother and more consistent elastic release, especially important when playing strong fish.
Can I store my rigs on this kit?
Yes, the kit breaks down equally, which is designed to help when storing rigs on kits without them becoming tangled.
What is the purpose of the printed depth markers?
The printed depth markers allow you to accurately measure and set the depth of your rig, ensuring you can consistently return to a productive fishing spot.
What is the weight of the kit?
The Matrix XTR Power Kit Pro 2.5m weighs 43g.
How should I clean and maintain the kit?
Rinse with clean water after use, dry thoroughly, and store carefully. Periodically check the PTFE bush for wear. Clean the Glide finish with a soft, damp cloth.
Troubleshooting
Elastic not running smoothly
Ensure the PTFE bush is clean and free from debris. Check that the elastic is correctly threaded through the bush and side puller. Verify the Glide finish is intact and not damaged.
Kit feels loose in the pole
This kit is designed for specific pro poles. If it feels loose, it may not be compatible with your pole section. Ensure the pole section is clean and try re-inserting firmly. Consider using a pole repair kit or a thin layer of PTFE tape if minor adjustments are needed, but confirm compatibility first.
Depth markers are difficult to read
Ensure the markers are clean. If they appear faded, they may be worn. Use a fine-tip permanent marker to re-ink the markers if necessary, being careful not to obscure the measurement.
Side puller feels stiff
Clean the Revolve side puller mechanism. Ensure no debris is lodged within it. Light lubrication with a silicone-based product might help, but avoid over-application which can attract dirt.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable construction with reinforced carbon band.
- Smooth elastic operation due to the enlarged PTFE bush and Glide finish.
- Convenient features like the Revolve side puller and printed depth markers.
- Designed for high-performance fishing with strong elastics.
- Easy to store and manage rigs thanks to its breakdown design.
Cons
- Specifically designed for elite pro poles, limiting universal compatibility.
- May require specific knowledge or minor adjustments for non-pro pole systems.
- Length of 2.5m might be too long for very tight or specific fishing spots.
- The specialized nature might mean a higher price point compared to basic kits.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This power kit is designed to be inserted into compatible elite pro poles. Ensure the pole section is clean and free of debris before inserting the kit. The enlarged PTFE bush should align smoothly within the pole's spigot. Attach your chosen elastic (up to size 18) through the Revolve side puller and PTFE bush, ensuring it runs freely.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for Matrix elite pro pole systems. While it might fit other poles with similar internal diameters, best performance is achieved with poles specifically designed to accept this type of kit. Always check the internal diameter compatibility if using with non-Matrix poles.
Care: After use, rinse the kit with clean water to remove any dirt or salt. Dry thoroughly before storage. Periodically check the PTFE bush for wear or damage. Clean the Glide finish with a soft, damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners. Store the kit in a protective tube or case to prevent damage.
