The Matrix XTR F1 Super Short Kit is a specialized 1.7m top kit engineered for modern F1 fishing, particularly for shallow tactics. Its design focuses on enhancing efficiency and reducing hook pulls, offering a responsive setup. The kit features a new grey carbon anti-spook finish, designed to blend seamlessly with the sky and minimize disturbance to feeding fish in shallow water, without adding bulk or compromising stiffness. Weighing approximately 26g to 26.5g, this two-piece kit is built to be lightweight and stiff, maintaining the balance and recovery of your pole. The two-piece construction allows for a progressive bend, absorbing lunges and significantly reducing the chance of hook pulls during a fight. The compact 1.7m total length is designed to bring fish closer for rapid netting, saving crucial time on the bank.
