Product Information
Full details
The Matrix 3D-R EVA Butt Rest is designed for serious feeder anglers who require a stable and protective support for their rods during long sessions. Its primary benefit is the combination of high-density protection and rapid assembly, making it a reliable tool for busy fishing days; however, users should note that it is designed specifically for standard round seatbox legs, which may limit compatibility with non-standard oval or square hardware.

FAQs
Will this fit a 32mm leg?
The Matrix 3D-R system is officially designed for 25mm, 30mm, and 36mm round legs. It may not provide a secure fit on 32mm legs.
Is the foam replaceable?
The EVA foam is durable, but if it becomes damaged, it is often more efficient to replace the head unit rather than the foam itself.
Can I use this on a standard bankstick?
Yes, the threaded insert is universal and can be attached to any standard bankstick or feeder arm.
Does it come with inserts for the different leg sizes?
Yes, the 3D-R system includes inserts to ensure a perfect fit across the supported leg sizes.
Is the EVA foam soft enough to avoid marking my rod?
Yes, the high-density EVA is specifically chosen for its smooth finish and soft properties to protect delicate rod finishes.
Troubleshooting
Rest wobbles on the seatbox leg
Ensure you are using the correct sized insert for your leg diameter (25mm, 30mm, or 36mm) and verify the locking dial is fully tightened.
Quick-release mechanism feels stiff
Rinse the knuckle with warm water to remove dirt or dried bait, then apply a tiny amount of silicone lubricant if necessary.
Threaded insert is loose
Check that the thread is not cross-threaded; unscrew fully and re-align before tightening.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Protective EVA foam prevents rod damage
- Fast assembly via quick release components
- Wide compatibility with standard round leg diameters
- Robust construction for long-term reliability
Cons
- Not compatible with square or oval seatbox legs
- Requires specific 3D-R accessories for full modular integration

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the rest, select the appropriate insert size for your seatbox leg (25mm, 30mm, or 36mm). Slide the quick-release knuckle onto the leg and tighten the locking dial until secure. The butt rest head screws directly into the threaded insert on the knuckle. For long-term care, rinse the EVA foam with fresh water after use to remove grit or silt that could potentially scratch your rod blank over time. Ensure the quick-release mechanism is free of debris to maintain a smooth locking action.
