Matrix Ethos XRF Feeder 3.8m 65g

Matrix Ethos XRF 3.8m Feeder — Your versatile partner for medium to long-range feeder fishing

The Ethos XRF 3.8m Feeder is built on a progressive carbon fibre blank that delivers the perfect balance of power and sensitivity for tackling carp and silverfish at distance.

Progressive action for confident casting and playing

The progressive blank loads smoothly through the cast, allowing you to launch feeders up to 65g accurately to your chosen spot. On the retrieve, the forgiving action cushions lunges from hard-fighting fish while maintaining enough backbone to steer them away from snags.

Premium components and practical design

Oversized Sea Guide XQG guides ensure smooth line flow even in wet conditions, while the durable rubber cork and EVA composite handle provides comfortable grip during long sessions. The three-piece construction breaks down to a compact 131cm transport length, making it easy to carry and store. Two 2.8mm carbon tips (1.5oz and 2.0oz) let you match tip sensitivity to feeding conditions.
