Matrix Ethos XRS Feeder 3.3m 30g 164g Soft

Matrix Ethos XRS Light Feeder — precision silverfish control

The Matrix Ethos XRS 3.3m Light Feeder pairs a soft, slim carbon blank with ultra-light design to give you instant bite detection and effortless casting on commercial fisheries and canals.

Built for silverfish finesse

Engineered around a progressive soft action, the 3.3m Ethos XRS excels when targeting skimmers, hybrids and roach at short to medium range. The slender carbon blank loads smoothly under minimal weight, letting you place small feeders with pinpoint accuracy while maintaining direct contact with cautious silverfish.

Two-piece travel design with dual carbon tips

This two-piece rod breaks down into equal 169cm sections for compact transport and includes two 2.2mm carbon feeder tips rated at 0.5oz and 1.0oz. Lightweight Sea Guide XOG guides throughout reduce overall weight to just 164g, minimizing fatigue during long sessions while the minimal-colour tip indicators deliver clear bite registration without spooking wary fish.
