Matrix MXC-3 Ready-made Rig 16 10cm 2.4kg Bait Band

Matrix MXC-3 Ready-made Rig — Precision bait presentation for method and pellet feeder fishing

The Matrix MXC-3 bait band rig in size 16 delivers reliable hook presentation and secure pellet attachment for commercial and natural venue fishing. Each rig is accurately tied to 10 cm using 0.165 mm Power Micron monofilament rated at 2.4 kg.

Band-in-a-loop construction for durability

Tied using Jamie Hughes' band-in-a-loop method, these rigs offer improved bait presentation and significantly extend the life of the bait bands. The looped configuration prevents the band from slipping or tearing during casting and fishing, so you can confidently fish multiple sessions without re-tying.

PTFE-coated hook with out-turned eye

The MXC-3 hook features a PTFE coating for smooth penetration and an out-turned eye that enhances hair rig presentation. This design ensures the hook sits at the optimal angle for efficient hooking, ideal for banding hard pellets or dumbbell boilies when fishing with a method or pellet feeder.

Choose the right variant

All MXC-3 bait band rigs are 10 cm long and suited to method or pellet feeder tactics. Match the hook size and line diameter to your target species and bait:

• Size 12 (0.20 mm / 3.6 kg) — larger carp, bigger baits (8 mm+ pellets or boilies), robust hooklinks for snag-prone swims

• Size 14 (0.18 mm / 2.9 kg) — mid-range: F1s, carp to 3 kg, 6–8 mm pellets or mini boilies

• Size 16 (0.165 mm / 2.4 kg) — smaller carp, F1s, skimmers, 4–6 mm pellets or soft hookbaits on pressured venues
