Matrix Ethos XRC Feeder 2.7m 40g Progressive

Matrix Ethos XRC Feeder 2.7m 40g — Progressive Power for Method Feeder Fishing

The Matrix Ethos XRC 9ft feeder rod combines lightweight carbon construction with a progressive action blank designed to handle everything from delicate bites to powerful runs, making it your reliable partner for method feeder sessions targeting fish of all sizes.

Lightweight Carbon Blank with Fish-Playing Forgiveness

At just 165g, the Ethos XRC 9ft delivers a responsive feel without fatigue during long sessions. The progressive action blank flexes smoothly under pressure, cushioning runs and protecting light hooklinks while maintaining enough backbone to confidently land specimen fish. Whether you're extracting carp from snaggy margins or playing bream on open water, the rod's forgiving curve absorbs headshakes and sudden lunges.

Built for Casting Method Feeders with Precision

Developed specifically for method feeder work, the powerful blank handles loads up to 40g with ease, allowing accurate casts to distant features. Oversized Sea Guide XOG guides throughout reduce friction and accommodate modern braid or mono mainlines, while the durable rubber cork and EVA composite handle provides a secure grip even in wet conditions. Two included 2.4mm carbon tips (1.5oz and 2.0oz) let you match tip sensitivity to feeding behaviour and flow conditions.
