Matrix MXC-3 Rig Size 16 15cm 1.9kg Bait Band

Matrix MXC-3 Rig — Pre-tied hooklengths ready to fish

These ready-tied hooklengths combine PTFE-coated hooks with durable bait bands, saving you time on the bank and delivering reliable presentation for pole and feeder fishing.

Band-in-a-loop construction for longer life

Each rig features Jamie Hughes' band-in-a-loop method, which improves bait presentation and extends the lifespan of the elastic bands. The bands sit securely without splitting, so you can fish longer between re-ties.

PTFE-coated hooks with out-turned eyes

The MXC-3 hooks feature a slick PTFE coating and out-turned eyes that enhance hair-rig presentation. The coating reduces friction for better hook holds, while the eye angle keeps your pellet or dumbbell boilie sitting naturally.
