Matrix Torque Carp X Power Pole Package 11.5m

Matrix Torque Carp X Power Pole Package 11.5m

When the target is big, hard-fighting carp or you are faced with a swim full of snags, you need a pole that won’t let you down. At Gerry’s Fishing, we recommend the Matrix Torque Carp X Power Pole as the ultimate powerhouse for the modern commercial angler. Specifically engineered for raw strength and durability, this 11.5m package offers the perfect balance of reach and “extraction power,” ensuring you can dictate the fight against even the most aggressive specimens.

Product Details and Uses

The “X” in Torque Carp X stands for extreme. This pole is constructed using ultra-durable multi-layered carbon sections, now further enhanced with Matrix’s cutting-edge X-Graphene material. This reinforcement provides incredible structural integrity without making the pole feel cumbersome or “unbalanced” at its full 11.5m length. It is designed to handle heavy elastics and the immense torque generated when a double-figure carp tries to bolt for the lilies or bridge pilings.

Functionality is at the heart of this package. All sections feature a Glide Tape finish, allowing for silky-smooth shipping even when your hands are wet or covered in bait. The pole comes pre-fitted with extra-large 4.8mm internal PTFE bushes, meaning it is ready for the thickest hollow elastics right out of the box—no cutting back required. Additionally, the top kits feature the Matrix Revolve side pullers, giving you total control over the elastic tension during the crucial final moments of netting a fish.

Detailed Specifications

Examples of Where to Use

• Commercial Carp Matches: The ideal tool for “bagging” sessions where 100lb+ weights are expected and speed-netting large carp is the priority.

• Snaggy Margin Fishing: Use the 11.5m reach to fish precisely against far-bank snags or island margins where you need to stop fish instantly before they snag the rig.

• Deep Water Commercials: The stiffness provided by the X-Graphene reinforcement makes it easier to keep your rig stable in deep water or when there is a significant cross-wind.

• Large Natural Lakes: Perfect for targeting big tench or bream in weedy areas where a standard match pole might be too delicate to pull through the lilies.

Gerry’s Fishing Pro Tip

Maximise Your Puller Performance: When using the Revolve side puller, always ensure your elastic is well-lubricated. Because the Torque Carp X is designed for heavy-duty work, you’ll likely be using thicker hollow elastics. A quick spray of lubricant on the elastic before you ship out will ensure it retracts instantly into the top kit once the pressure is off, preventing “drooping” and ensuring the fish stays under control right to the net.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Does this pole come with a warranty?

Yes, all Matrix poles purchased through Gerry’s Fishing are covered by the standard manufacturer’s warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Can I use my old Torque top kits with this new model?

Absolutely. One of the best features of the Torque Carp X is that it is built on the same mandrel as previous Torque models. This means all your existing Torque top kits will fit this pole perfectly, allowing you to build a massive “top kit library” for different elastic strengths.

Is 840g heavy for an 11.5m pole?

For a dedicated power pole designed for big carp, 840g is remarkably light. Most poles in this strength category are significantly heavier. The use of X-Graphene allows Matrix to keep the weight down while actually increasing the overall strength and stiffness compared to standard carbon poles.

How many top kits do I actually get?

The package includes a total of three top kits: one is already fitted inside the pole, and you receive two additional spare top kits in the bag. You also receive a dedicated cupping kit for precise feeding and a mini strike section to protect the main butt sections from damage during aggressive strikes.
