Matrix HX 6000 Pro Feeder

Matrix HX 6000 Pro Feeder: The Magnesium Powerhouse

Following the incredible success of the HX Pro 3000 and 4000, the demands for a larger, distance-oriented version have been answered. At Gerrys Fishing, weve found the Matrix HX 6000 Pro Feeder to be the ultimate solution for the angler who needs big-pit performance without the soul-destroying weight of a traditional large reel.

By utilizing an ultra-light magnesium body, Matrix has managed to keep this 6000-sized beast down to an agile 428g. Inside, a precision worm drive combined with slow oscillation ensures impeccable line laythe single most important factor when youre trying to squeeze every extra yard out of a long-distance cast.

Built for the Elements and the Fight

• TLS Triple Sealed Body: Feeder fishing is messy. Groundbait, silt, and lake water are the enemies of internal gears. The TLS system provides a triple-layered defense to keep your reel spinning smoothly session after session.

• SDX Multi-Disc Drag: When a big river carp or a hard-fighting barbel decides to run, the SDX system provides a stutter-free, silky-smooth release of line, giving you the confidence to fish fine when needed.

• Carbon Reinforced Rotor: Light, stiff, and featuring a minimum-resistance rotor brake to prevent the bail arm from flipping during high-force casts.

• One-Piece Bail Arm: A sleek, snag-free design that guides your line perfectly onto the roller every time.

Where to Use the HX 6000 Pro Feeder

The HX 6000 is specifically designed for high-torque, long-distance scenarios. The Gerrys team recommends it for:

• Extreme Distance Casting: The combination of the slow oscillation and the large-diameter spool makes this a dream for hitting the 80m+ mark on large reservoirs. It pairs perfectly with 13ft and 14ft heavy feeder rods.

• Powerful River Fishing: If youre tackling the heavy flows of the Trent or the Severn, the 96cm retrieve and robust worm drive make light work of reeling in 5oz+ feeders and heavy leads.

• Large Hybrid & Method Tactics: Ideal for venues where big carp are the target at range. The magnesium body prevents the setup from becoming front-heavy, allowing for more accurate casting all day long.

• Braid-Heavy Setups: The superior line lay provided by the worm drive system makes this reel exceptionally well-suited for use with thin feeder braids, preventing the bedding-in that often causes snap-offs.

Gerrys Verdict:

The Matrix HX 6000 Pro Feeder is a masterclass in modern reel design. It offers the winching power of a much heavier reel with the agility of a match model. If you want to fish further and harder without the fatigue of a heavy setup, this is the professionals choice
