Matrix Ethos XR Spinning Reel 3000 5.2:1 298g 6+1 Aluminium

Matrix Ethos XR 3000 — Built for Precision Feeder and Float Fishing

The Matrix Ethos XR 3000 combines a graphite anti-flex body with a multi-disc front drag and 6+1 carbon steel ball bearings, delivering ultra-smooth performance for demanding feeder and float tactics.

Smooth, Reliable Drag System

The multi-disc front drag provides consistent pressure throughout the fight, while the graphite anti-flex body prevents frame twist under load. Six carbon steel ball bearings plus one roller bearing ensure fluid retrieves and confident hook sets.

Engineered for Durability

The advanced single-piece bail arm eliminates weak points, and the machine-cut aluminium spool features a reinforced line clip to handle abrasion from monofilament. Developed specifically for feeder and float fishing, this reel balances light weight with robust construction.
