Matrix Ethos XRC Feeder 3m 50g Progressive

Matrix Ethos XRC Feeder 3m 50g — Progressive Power for Method Feeder Specialists

The Matrix Ethos XRC 10ft feeder rod combines lightweight carbon construction with a progressive action that handles everything from delicate bites to powerful runs, making it the ideal choice for commercial fisheries and natural venues alike.

Powerful Yet Forgiving Blank for Method Feeders

Developed specifically for casting loaded method feeders with confidence, the XRC's progressive action blank delivers the backbone you need for accurate long-range casting while maintaining enough give to protect fine hooklengths during the fight. At just 190g, this 3m rod won't tire you out during all-day sessions, yet the carbon fibre construction provides the strength to handle specimen fish with ease.

Precision Guides and Versatile Tips for Every Condition

Fitted with 14 oversized Sea Guide XOG guides throughout, the Ethos XRC ensures smooth line flow and reduced friction on every cast. Two interchangeable 2.4mm carbon tips (1.5oz and 2.0oz) let you fine-tune bite detection to match wind conditions, distance, and target species—the lighter tip for calm days and cautious bream, the heavier option when fishing into the wind or at range for carp and F1s.

Choose the Right Variant

The Ethos XRC feeder series offers three lengths to match your fishing situation:

• Matrix Ethos XRC 9ft 2.70m Feeder 40g (165g, 141cm transport) – ideal for tight pegs, shorter casting distances, canals, and small to medium commercial fisheries where accuracy matters more than distance

• Matrix Ethos XRC 10ft 3.00m Feeder 50g (190g, 156cm transport) – the versatile all-rounder for medium to long range on most commercial venues, natural rivers, and large stillwaters; perfect balance of casting power and handling for bream, tench, F1s, and carp

• Matrix Ethos XRC 11ft 3.30m Feeder 60g (218g, 171cm transport) – maximum casting distance for large lakes, wide rivers, and windy conditions where you need to punch heavier feeders to the horizon
