Select the size based on your pole tip's outer diameter. Smaller sizes (6–8, 8–10) fit thinner tips used for lighter rigs and delicate presentations on small fish. Mid-range sizes (10–12, 12–14) are versatile for general freshwater coarse fishing. Larger sizes (16–18) fit thicker pole tips and are ideal for heavier lines and larger species. If unsure, measure your pole tip diameter in millimetres and match it to the size marking.
The ultra-bright fluorescent colours provide excellent visibility during fishing, allowing you to monitor your rig position and bite signals more clearly. This visibility is especially valuable in low-light conditions (early morning, dusk, cloudy days) and helps you fish with greater confidence and precision. The bright colours also make it easier to judge elastication tension and positioning.
The amber-coloured core runs through the elastic and serves multiple purposes. It provides structural integrity to the elastic, ensuring consistent stretch and recovery properties across the full 3m length. The core design also contributes to the overall durability and prevents the elastic from becoming too soft or stretching unevenly over time. Additionally, the colour contrast helps with visibility and aesthetic appeal.
Matrix Core Elastic is constructed from premium 100% pure latex, which provides excellent durability compared to lower-quality alternatives. With proper care, each spool typically lasts a full season or more of regular use. The exact lifespan depends on fishing frequency, UV exposure, and storage conditions. Store your elastic in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maximize longevity. Replace when the elastic loses its responsiveness or shows visible signs of degradation.
Each pole section has a specific outer diameter, which determines the elastic size needed for that particular section. If you fish with multiple pole sections of different diameters (which is common in modern pole setups), you will indeed need different elastic sizes for each section. This flexibility is why Matrix offers six sizes – you can customize your elastication to match each individual pole tip diameter.
Thread the elastic through your pole connector or tip assembly according to your specific pole manufacturer's instructions. Most modern poles use a simple push-through connector where you insert the elastic end into the hollow pole tip and secure it with a small connector piece. Some anglers use a traditional whipping method for added security. Ensure the elastic is secured firmly to prevent it from sliding during fishing, as this affects your bite detection and overall control.
