Matrix X-Strong Super Stops

The Matrix X-Strong Super Stops are a premium, ultra-durable bait stop system engineered specifically to save you vital seconds during active match sessions or high-volume pleasure loops. Designed to streamline the process of rigging hair baits, these heavy-duty stops eliminate the fiddly frustrations of traditional bait anchors, allowing you to tie up or refresh a hair rig with absolute speed and efficiency.

Heavy-Duty Enlarged Eyelet Architecture

The standout mechanical feature of the X-Strong Super Stops is their enlarged internal eyelet profile. On standard bait stops, the threading channel is incredibly narrow, making it nearly impossible to pass high-diameter monofilaments, stiff fluorocarbons, or coated braided hooklengths through without fraying the line.

Matrix has solved this by widening the eyelet channel. Even the thickest commercial hooklengths slide through effortlessly, drastically reducing your rigging time when your hands are cold, wet, or covered in fish slime, and allowing you to get your bait back into the water instantly.

Unyielding Durability for High-Speed Sessions

Match fishing demands speed, and speed can often lead to rough handling of your tackle. These stops are manufactured from an advanced, ultra-strong polymer compound that refuses to split, crack, or deform under intense pressure.

Whether you are pulling a hard boilie, a dense pellet, or a tough piece of meat over the stop with a baiting needle, the X-Strong material maintains its structural integrity. It provides total peace of mind that your hookbait will stay securely locked in place, even when subjected to high-force casting or rapid, repetitive slapping on the water surface.

Precision Sizing & Adaptability

The X-Strong Super Stops are available in two distinct sizes to seamlessly integrate with your existing match kit and bait choices:

• Small: The definitive profile for delicate presentations, matching perfectly with mini-boilies, hard 6mm or 8mm drilled pellets, sweetcorn grains, and small punched meat.

• Large: Engineered to hold massive payloads, making it the ideal choice for anchoring large 10mm+ expanders, big pellets, double corn, or large chunks of luncheon meat when targeting big commercial carp and barbel.

Pro Tip

These stops are absolute game-changers when used as a permanent “pull-through” anchor on your hair rigs. Instead of tying a standard hair loop and using a separate stop every time you change bait, try threading an X-Strong Super Stop directly onto your hair line and tying a small overhand knot behind it to lock it in place. Then, simply hook your baiting needle directly into the stop’s eyelet, pull it smoothly through your drilled pellet or boilie, and you are ready to cast. This creates a permanent, ultra-secure baiting loop that cannot be lost in the net or flying off during high-speed casting.

Ideal Applications

• Commercial Match & Festival Angling: The ultimate time-saver when building a massive weight of carp and F1s on the method or hybrid feeder, where every second saved equals more fish in the net.

• Heavy-Duty Method Feeder Tactics: Perfect for handling the high-velocity impact of large method balls hitting the water, ensuring your bait stays securely presentation-ready on the deck.

• River Specimen Fishing: Highly effective for hair-rigging large pellets or meat chunks for hard-fighting river barbel and chub in fast-flowing currents.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I pass thick fluorocarbon hooklengths through these stops?

Yes, absolutely. The enlarged eyelet design is specifically tailored to handle the stiffer, thicker diameters of modern commercial lines and fluorocarbons without kinking, scraping, or weakening the material.

Will these stops tear soft baits like luncheon meat or expanded pellets?

The outer contours of the stops are completely smoothed and rounded. While the internal core is rigid and ultra-strong to hold the line securely, the smooth exterior shape prevents the stop from pulling or tearing through softer baits upon impact with the water.

How many stops come in a standard pack?

Matrix packs these stops generously on convenient, easy-to-store frames, ensuring you have an ample supply to tie dozens of high-performance hair rigs throughout the season.
