Product Information
Full details
The Matrix Horizon 2 Rod Stiff Holdall is designed for the serious match angler who requires superior protection for their high-end ready-made rods during transport. It features a rigid PE board construction and waterproof PVC coating to keep gear safe in challenging weather conditions, though its structured design means it lacks the flexibility of soft-sided bags.

FAQs
Can this bag fit rods longer than 1.75m?
No, the internal length is fixed at 175cm. Rods longer than this will not fit safely within the rigid case.
Is the shoulder strap removable?
The extra-padded shoulder strap is designed for heavy-duty use and is fixed to the unit for added security during transport.
How do I clean the internal lining?
The internal lining can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the divider padding.
Does it fit rods with large pit reels?
The width of 17cm is designed to accommodate most modern match reels, though very large distance-casting reels may require careful positioning.
Is the outer case crush-proof?
It features a rigid PE board designed for high impact protection, but it is not intended to support heavy weight placed on top of it.
What is the primary material used?
The holdall is constructed from a heavy-duty, PVC-coated fabric combined with a rigid PE board outer frame.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or difficult to close
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove grit and apply a light silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
Water pooling on the surface
Ensure the bag is stored flat or upright so water can run off; wipe with a microfiber cloth to maintain the waterproof integrity.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent physical protection for expensive rod setups
- High-grade waterproof materials ensure dry gear
- Comfortable carrying options for long walks to the peg
- Robust zipper quality prevents common failure points
Cons
- Rigid structure is not collapsible for compact storage
- Size is specific to 1.75m rods, limiting versatility
- Heavier than traditional soft-sided rod bags
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your holdall, place your first rod into the base, securing the rod with the provided fixing points, then place the padded divider over the first rod before positioning your second setup. For long-term care, wipe down the PVC outer fabric with a damp cloth after each session to remove mud and debris, which prevents the waterproof coating from degrading. Ensure the PU-coated zips are kept free of sand or grit to maintain their waterproof seal. Store the holdall in a cool, dry place when not in use; avoid crushing the rigid structure under heavy items in storage.
