FAQs

What is the main advantage of the X-Graphene resin?

The X-Graphene resin contributes to the pole's strength and responsiveness, allowing for a lighter yet more powerful rod.

Are the side pullers pre-fitted on all kits?

No, Matrix Revolve side pullers are fitted on most kits, but they are not included on the finesse kits.

How do I maintain the Glide tape finish?

The Glide tape finish requires minimal maintenance. Simply wipe the sections clean with a damp cloth after use. Avoid abrasive materials.

What is the weight of the pole at 13 meters?

The weight of the pole at 13 meters is 885g.

Can I use this pole for commercial fisheries with heavy fish?

Yes, the pole's construction with Japanese carbon fibre and MST layering technology makes it suitable for handling larger fish, though appropriate elastication is crucial.

What is included in the 'Euro Package'?

The Euro Package includes the 13m XTR600 Elite Pro Pole, 4x Pro match kits (one fitted), 4x Finesse kits, 3x No.3 sections, 3x No.4 sections, a Twist lock extending cupping kit, a Groundbait cup set, a Mini extension, and a Duralite pole case.

How should I clean the pole after fishing?

After fishing, wipe down each section with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure joints are clean and dry before storing to prevent issues.

Troubleshooting

Pole sections are stiff or difficult to join/separate.

Ensure all joints are clean and free from grit or debris. Check for any damage to the carbon weaved joint protectors. Apply a small amount of silicone grease to the male end of the joint if necessary, wiping away any excess.

Elastic feels too tight or too loose.

Adjust the elastic tension. If using a side puller, ensure it is positioned correctly and the elastic is running freely through it. Refer to elastication guides for appropriate tension based on target species.

Pole feels 'wobbly' or lacks stiffness when striking.

Confirm all sections are fully pushed together and the SLG joints are engaged properly. Ensure you are using the correct sections for the desired length (e.g., not over-extending with an unnecessary section). Check that the MST layering technology is intact.

Printed markers are difficult to see.

Ensure the pole sections are clean. In low light conditions, use a headlamp or flashlight to illuminate the markings. The markers are designed for clarity in standard daylight conditions.
