Matrix Ethos XR Spinning Reel 3500 5.2:1 304g 6+1 Aluminium

Matrix Ethos XR 3500 — Built for Smooth, Reliable Feeder and Float Fishing

The Matrix Ethos XR 3500 spinning reel delivers robust construction, buttery-smooth drag performance, and ample line capacity for targeting medium to larger species on feeder or float tactics.

Ultra-Smooth Multi-Disc Front Drag

The multi-disc front drag system ensures consistent, progressive pressure when playing fish, giving you confidence whether you're battling a hard-fighting bream or a powerful carp. Six carbon steel ball bearings plus one roller bearing work together to eliminate wobble and deliver fluid retrieves, even under load.

Graphite Anti-Flex Body and Machined Aluminium Spool

The anti-flex graphite body keeps internal components perfectly aligned, while the machine-cut aluminium spool holds 180 m of 0.26 mm monofilament and features a reinforced line clip to prevent slippage during casting. The advanced single-piece bail arm resists twisting and ensures reliable line pick-up cast after cast.

Choose the Right Variant

Matrix offers two Ethos XR sizes to match your fishing style and target species:

• Ethos XR 3000 (298 g, 89 cm retrieve, 150 m / 0.26 mm) — ideal for lighter feeder work, smaller rivers, and float fishing for roach, bream, and smaller carp

• Ethos XR 3500 (304 g, 94 cm retrieve, 180 m / 0.26 mm) — perfect for heavier feeders, larger venues, and targeting bigger carp, barbel, and tench where extra line capacity and retrieve speed are valuable
