Matrix Ethos Platinum 3.8m Medium Feeder

The Matrix Ethos Platinum 3.8m Medium Feeder is the long-distance powerhouse in the Ethos Platinum natural and open-water lineup, engineered specifically for punching heavy cage, method, or window feeders up to 60g across big waters. Built on a slim carbon blank with a refined progressive action, it delivers the lower-end compression required for hitting distance, while maintaining a smooth playing curve that protects hook holds when reeling in skimmers, bream, or commercial carp.

Designed as a two-piece equal-length section setup for simple breakdown into ready-rod sleeves, the 3.8m (12.5ft) profile gives match anglers maximum leverage on the cast and during fish playing. It comes equipped with forward-facing XQG SG guides to ensure friction-free line flow and eliminate tip wraps, an easy-to-clean two-colour EVA handle, and two interchangeable 2.8mm carbon quivertips (1.5oz and 2.0oz) to keep your line taut against open-water undertow and wind.

Pro Tip

Pair this 3.8m 60g model with a 5000 or 6000 size feeder reel loaded with a thin-diameter braided mainline and a 10lb–12lb fluorocarbon shock leader. The extra length and backbone allow you to effortlessly load window or distance cage feeders, pushing your rigs out to 50m+ with high accuracy while keeping the braid line angle high over near-bank weed beds.

Ideal Applications & Use Cases

Distance Open-Water Feeder Tactics: Purpose-built for reaching open-water bream shoals, far margins, and silt beds at distances beyond 45–50 meters.
Natural Reservoir & Large Lake Bream Fishing: Handles heavy groundbait cage feeders, window feeders, and bullet feeders loaded with particles.
Big Commercial Carp & Hybrid Work: The progressive backbone absorbs the runs of double-figure carp and hard-fighting hybrids in open water.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 3.8m 60g model compare to the 3.4m and 3.6m versions in the series?

The 3.8m 60g rod offers the highest casting weight capacity and longest reach in the series, designed for long-range distance casting (45m+). The 3.4m (40g) is tailored for short-to-medium work, while the 3.6m (50g) serves as an all-round mid-range performer.

What size quivertips are compatible with this rod?

This model uses Matrix 2.8mm base gauge carbon quivertips. It comes supplied with 1.5oz and 2.0oz tips, but is fully compatible with the full Matrix 2.8mm spare tip range (available from 0.5oz up to 2.5oz).

Are the forward-facing XQG SG guides braid-friendly?

Yes, the guide angles and high-grade ceramic inserts are specifically designed to reduce line friction and prevent wrap-around tangles when using fine braided mainlines or heavy shock leaders.
