Product Information

Full details

The Matrix Super Short Dacron Connectors in Medium size are specifically designed for match and coarse anglers who prioritize sensitivity and bite registration. These connectors are ideal for those using hollow elastics, offering a compact, low-profile design that minimizes tangles and ensures efficient energy transfer from the rig to the pole tip, though anglers should note they require precise elastic sizing to ensure the internal bead seats perfectly within the pole tip.

FAQs

Are these connectors suitable for all elastic types?

They are best suited for hollow and solid elastics used in standard pole setups. Please verify your elastic diameter fits within the connector's internal bore.

Can I reuse these connectors?

Yes, they are durable enough for repeated use, though you should inspect the TPR bead for wear before each session.

What is the difference between Medium and Large?

The Large variant is generally designed for thicker, heavier elastics, while the Medium is optimized for standard match-weight elastics.

Does the pack include elastic?

No, the pack contains only the 5 connectors.

How do I store them?

Keep them in their original packaging or a dedicated rig storage case to prevent the stiff coating from kinking.

Troubleshooting

Connector keeps tangling with the pole tip

Ensure the connector is correctly seated and the elastic tension is sufficient to keep the bead pulled firmly against the pole bush.

Line slipping through the bead

Verify that your hooklength or main line diameter is compatible with the bead aperture; if the line is too thin, use a small stop knot or double the line through the bead.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly sensitive for improved bite detection
  • Stiff construction eliminates tangles
  • Durable TPR material resists wear
  • Compact profile keeps rig close to pole tip
  • Great value with 5 connectors per pack

Cons

  • Limited to specific elastic diameters for best fit
  • Requires careful installation to ensure bead alignment
  • Not suitable for extremely heavy-duty snag fishing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, thread your pole elastic through the center of the connector and secure it according to your elastic manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the connector sits neatly against the pole bush; the Medium size is designed to fit most standard internal pole bushes comfortably. For maintenance, periodically inspect the TPR beads for signs of splitting or degradation. After a session, rinse the connectors with fresh water to remove any lake silt or groundbait residue and store them in a dry, dark place to maintain the integrity of the coating.
