Matrix Roost Distance Sticks

Accurate distance measuring is critical for modern match and feeder anglers, but traditional ground-poked measuring sticks present a major challenge on hard ground, wooden platforms, or rocky pegs. The Matrix Roost Distance Sticks solve this problem completely by attaching directly to your existing Matrix 24-Kit Roost, providing a rock-solid, ground-free measuring station wherever you set up.

Engineered to fit seamlessly onto the Matrix 24-Kit Roost, these distance sticks eliminate the hassle of struggling to push banks sticks into concrete, hard-packed clay, or wooden staging. Set precisely 2 metres apart on the roost main frame, they allow you to wrap your line rapidly, accurately, and without risking damage to your main line or hooklinks. The textured finish on the high-grade aluminium poles provides optimal grip to stop light monofilament or braid from slipping down, while the integrated adjustable feeder hook keeps your terminal tackle securely anchored during the measuring process.

Whether you are hitting exact wraps on commercial fisheries or locking into a precise distance on large natural waters, the Matrix Roost Distance Sticks deliver consistent, effortless accuracy in a ultra-compact package.

• Exact 2m Spacing: Positioned 2 metres apart on the roost frame for quick, foolproof calculation of casting distances and line wraps.

• Textured Aluminium Finish: Special non-slip coating prevents fine monofilament and braided mainlines from sliding or tangling during wrapping.

Key Applications & Where to Use

• Commercial Staging & Wooden Platforms: Ideal when fishing off wooden boardwalks, decking, or plastic platforms where driving standard banksticks into the ground is impossible.

• Hard-Baked Clay & Gravel Banks: Perfect during summer conditions when bankside soil becomes baked solid, or on manicured gravel pegs where ground sticks struggle to penetrate.

• Concrete Towpaths & Docks: An essential accessory for canal and urban venue matches where concrete, brick, or stone surfaces offer zero ground insertion points.

• Rocky Reservoir Pegs: Provides a stable, elevated measuring system on uneven stone banks without risking scratched gear or bent sticks.

Pro Tip

When measuring off the roost, set the adjustable feeder hook at waist height so your feeder stays suspended without swinging. Wrap your line smoothly around the 2m sticks to calculate your exact distance (e.g., 15 full double-wraps = 60 metres). Once wrapped, clip up your reel line, hook the feeder onto the holder, and wind in under gentle tension to ensure perfect line lay across your spool.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these distance sticks fit other roosts or seatbox accessories?

They are specifically engineered to fit directly onto the frame profile of the Matrix 24-Kit Roost for optimal stability and exact 2-metre spacing.

How do they stop the line from slipping down the sticks?

The aluminium poles feature a micro-textured finish that adds friction. This keeps both monofilament and smooth braided lines firmly in place at your desired wrapping height without catching or abrading the line.

How does the feeder hook work?

The adjustable hook attaches to the upright stick assembly to park your feeder or weight while you count wraps. This prevents the weight from swinging freely, tangling hooklinks, or pulling excess line off the spool.
