Paul, what is the fit of the Matrix jacket like? Like yourself I am a size large but maybe a slightly heavier build. Would you still recommend a size L or rather an XL?

I’ve got one and I just see it as wearing a normal hoody but with the bonus of not having soaking wet sleeves 😂 I was going to get the Matrix all weather hoody but they don’t make them anymore

I was tempted with one of these, but I don't think it will beat the Matrix all-weather hoody (shame they don't sell these anymore)

Great review Paul. Always helpful to have a non sponsored non biased view. Good to see you back.

Where Oop North are you from Paul, I’m hazarding a guess and would say County Durham? Very informative video as usual, missed your uploads so looking forward to your next one. Cheers. 👍🏼

Nice video paul...Nice to see you back

Thanks for this review too, Paul, very useful.

Thank you for this report. The right clothing for the bank is always an issue.

They should pay anglers for advertising their product. 😂

Paul. Gloucestershire isn't the South. It's the WESTcountry.

You can guarantee if you make a brew or turn your back for a few minutes you will get a bite . You nearly lost that loverly rod 😂🎣✨️

Did the coaching session with Andy May improve your fishing & where did you go to for the session.

Paul that was so insightful and I can’t thank you enough. Your methodology was as clear as day to me but obviously with all scientific tests there are always lots more ‘what if’s’ that could be thrown into the melting pot. However, I will keep my eye out in case you do expand your chart etc.

Hi Paul just watched your 5 best pole floats Video liked it so much I sent it to my fishing buddy, just watched this pole Video & agree with your thoughts, although (think Preston elastic roller kits are brilliant & a doddle to fit) just get a diamond drill the right dia. ( the modern tips are reinforced where’re the kits fit & only take seconds to drill & fit in perfectly)👌, it’s amazing how much better than bush pullers they are😁, along with Modern elastics think there the most important Pole fishing development’s I’ve seen, Thanks Dickey 77year Paste Fisherman

Just come across this review after 6 months 👍of using 8lb submerge, and was really impressed with it, I did find on my feeder rigs. Hook lengths loop to loop snapping at the knot in main line on the bigger barbel using 8lb, this happened less when I used a swivel but I decided to upgrade to the 10lb submerge and fish 8lb hooklengh with swivel or quick change, unless I’ve spooled it up wrong i find the 10lb springing off spool , and terrible line twist compared to the 8lb and much worse than diawa sensor, I’ve stripped a good bit off the spool to see if that helps and used a spin doctor will see how it goes.

Hi Paul, Another big thanks, I've just bought the 3.2M -30g Ascension, And used it on the Weaver on Friday, Spot on lovely rod, I am definitely going to buy the 3.4m - 40g, Many thanks great review Richie.

Baiting while playing a fish…pathetic.

I'm new to fishing and I just ordered one of these rods based on your review. Thank you

Hi Paul, just revisited this video, would you consider doing a follow up with your whole light set up , box , bag, trolley, rod holdall etc

Nice discreet,lightweight waterproof Paul..will fold up small to go easily in my carryall for milder autumn days when rain showers are forecast..a very competitive price too..great review and constructive comments..Thankyou 😊🎣

Hi Paul, please could you compare the new Guru N-Gauge PRO feeder rod and if poss. pellet waggler rod. Preferably as you normally do by comparing with other well known rods. Thanks Tony

Another fantastic review Paul, as I’m only just starting up fishing again that rod will be right up my alley. A good rod without breaking the bank. I’ve a lot of tackle to buy. Keep up the good work. 👏

If you fish over depth how can you tell if your paste is still on.

Thanks paul Interesting video..I won't be buying one just yet..keep the videos coming always enjoy them

Are you still using the MAP hybrid elastic ?

Been using a padded support for years. Got it because I have a very boney elbow and after a hour was getting pain. Not only does it stop the pain in my elbow it also stops my elbow from damaging the pole and it aids it trapping the pole beneath your forearm when constantly feeding with the catapult when fishing long and shallow. Only costs £5 on eBay

Just sold my Drennan Acolyte 9ft plus feeder rod. Like you, I never quite got along with it. It is definitely not a method feeder rod. Too many times the tip would go round but the fish wasn't hooked. Would you say the 9ft Nytro rods are beefier than the Acolyte?

Thanks Paul for another good review. Does the rain cover pull over any further than you showed? Its just that when im holding a long pole and feeding my swim, plus priming my pellet waggler or feeder swim, i place the easy access bait close to my leg so i can reach it blindly without stretch. That near third area where you'd position the easy access bait appears unprotected on the demo.

I recently bought the Preston Duraslip size 13 elastic, what would be the maximum diameter of line (reflo power) that this elastic can take?

Hi Paul. Thanks for the review. Has there been anything you've since that you'd be tempted with instead? Can the 4 corner leg clamps be rotated so the knobs all point inwards, taking less space? Many trays don't have any outrigger legs/arms etc, and you've explained the 3 iterations that you've been through to ensure you achieve additional support. Does it really additional support or are you being over cautious?

Excellent review Paul, thanks 👍

Cheers Paul…..looks like a good jacket for £60. Don’t suppose you know which other brands compete with it?

Extra bit of material that covers, or behind the zip, is called a storm flap.

Thanks paul..nice review

Another great review Paul. 👍

Exactly what I need, thanks for the review!

Nice review Paul

Your reviews are really detailed. Love how you give the weights of the rods. Tackle manufacturers tend to hide these details. Top marks.

Top review Paul. Thanks for your time & effort.

I am looking at trying the Nytro Aryzon 10ft feeder. So far none of my local tackle shops stock them. I did get an Aryzon 10ft pellet waggler rod and that is really good for the money. The blanks, rings and handles are better quality than I expected. Reel seats are basic but work fine. The pellet waggler is surprisingly quite powerful for it's weight, and I am hoping the feeder rods are the same.

Maver are the worst fishing company going. Everything is made from cheap and nasty materials. Everything I've bought from maver has either fell apart or crumpled especially the reality margin poles. I was given a reality feeder rod as a gift recently..the eyes are not whipped on properly.. sonik rods are amazing

Good review and thanks

Paul. Great honest reviews as always 👌. I personally use the Drennan series 7 puddle chucker 11ft waggler rod a softer version of the Drennan Acolyte rod you reviewed.

Nice insight of the three excellent rods Paul . I have had the Maver Acolyte and the Matrix. I sold the Acolyte because of the two comments you made a bit stiff and the handle was too long l thought same as you that the Maver was too heavy for long pw sessions and the Matrix l had problems with. I bought it mail order and it came with 1and a1/2'' missing from the tip . This was replaced but the replacement broke in the same place first cast. A 3rd rod arrived but l never used it as l had lost confidence in it. I bought the Preston Supera X and love it l also bought the MAP black Edition Pro SUV for the big lumps this rod is also fantastic. I love pellet waggler fishing and l use both rods with my hand made Casper bulb floats. I invented this float some 40 years ago with the first offering slow sinkers for silver fish. I had a rod made by Terry Smith of Sheffield and was named the' bubble master' rod. I continued to use this method until the commercial venue sprung up then l started to make them as floats . There are a few copies on the market made from foam but they are not in the same league as mine for casting and mine are virtually unbreakable. My mates have them and only come back for more when they lose them. Testament indeed. On our local carp dam our secretary goes out in a boat to retrieve lost Caspers periodically. l use Aero xr5000 reels on my pellet waggler rods as they are very light and balance my rods well.

What a well thought out and informative video Paul. Keep up the good work.

Freespirit ctx 11ft pellet waggler £130 ,job done …..superb Japanese blank ,super light weight in the hand with a fantastic action plus loads of hidden power in the butt section …looks & finish is exceptional, designed by rod makers from the carp world ,known for their handmade expertise, in precision construction of hi-tech carbon rods …Awesome

Another great review.thank you Paul

Always useful and informative - I'm now going to use a loop tier better now ! ❤❤❤

Love you paul❤
