Matrix Ethos Platinum 3.6m Medium Feeder

The Matrix Ethos Platinum 3.6m Medium Feeder is the ultimate versatile mid-range rod in the Ethos Platinum natural and open-water series, engineered to handle everything from commercial carp to natural venue silverfish. Built on a slim, lightweight carbon blank, it features a progressive fish-playing action that cushions the lunges of skimmers, bream, and carp to prevent hook pulls, while retaining enough lower-end strength to punch feeders up to 50g smoothly out to mid-range distances.

Designed as an equal-length two-piece rod for fast assembly and simple storage in ready-rod holdalls, the 3.6m (12ft) profile provides excellent leverage for casting and line control over marginal weed. It comes equipped with forward-facing XQG SG guides to reduce friction and line wraps, an easy-to-clean two-colour EVA handle, and two 2.8mm carbon quivertips (1.0oz and 2.0oz) to cover a wide variety of venue conditions and bite intensities.

Pro Tip

Pair this 3.6m 50g blank with a 4000 or 5000 size feeder reel spooled with 0.10mm braid or 5lb monofilament for open-water skimmers and bream at 30m to 45m. Use the supplied 1.0oz tip on calm days to spot fine drop-back bites, and step up to the 2.0oz tip when fishing in crosswinds or heavy undertow to hold your feeder firm without sacrificing bite sensitivity.

Mid-Range Open-Water Feeder Work: Perfectly balanced for casting cage, window, or method feeders accurately between 30 and 45 meters.
Natural Lake & Reservoir Bream Matches: Forgiving mid-section protects fine hooklengths when bringing soft-mouthed skimmers and bream over the net.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 3.6m 50g model compare to the 3.4m and 3.8m versions in the series?

The 3.6m 50g rod is the versatile mid-range performer (up to 45m). The 3.4m (40g) is tailored for short-to-medium distances and lighter feeders, while the 3.8m (60g) version offers extra length and power for distance casting beyond 50 meters.

Are the quivertips interchangeable with other Matrix feeder rods?

This rod uses Matrix 2.8mm base gauge carbon tips. It comes supplied with 1.0oz and 2.0oz tips, and is fully compatible with all spare 2.8mm Matrix tips across the 0.5oz to 2.5oz range.

Can I use braided mainlines with this rod?

Yes, the forward-facing XQG SG guides are specifically styled and lined to handle low-diameter braided lines and shock leaders without ring grooving or tangling.
