Matrix MXC-4 Ready Rig 16 45cm 2.9kg X-Strong Bait Band

Matrix MXC-4 Ready Rig — Tournament-Grade Strength for Big-Fish Banding

The Matrix MXC-4 Ready Rig in size 16 combines ultra-strong wide gape hooks with robust 0.18 mm Power Micron monofilament, delivering 2.9 kg breaking strain in a convenient 45 cm pre-tied format. Engineered for specimen anglers targeting carp and F1s with banded pellets or dumbbell boilies, these rigs are built to handle powerful fish on straight leads and pellet wagglers.

Extended Length for Confident Presentation

Tied accurately to 45 cm, these longer hooklengths give you the extra reach needed when fishing with a straight lead or pellet waggler. The extended length improves bait separation from the rig, encouraging confident takes from wary fish while maintaining direct contact for fast, positive hooking.

Jamie Hughes' Band-in-a-Loop Method for Durability

Each rig features a durable Matrix bait band tied using Jamie Hughes' proven band-in-a-loop technique. This method not only delivers superior bait presentation but significantly extends the life of your bands, keeping you fishing longer between rig changes and ensuring pellets and boilies sit naturally on the hook.
