Matrix XTR700 Elite Pro product video - YouTube
The Matrix XTR700 Elite Pro Pole Package 16m is a flagship-level Matrix pole package for serious match anglers who want a long, stiff and responsive 16m setup. It is the XTR700, not the XTR500, XTR600 or older MTX range, so compatibility and package contents should be checked carefully.
Public Matrix XTR700 information describes a redesigned pole platform using high-grade Japanese carbon, X-Graphene resin, MST layering, SLG joints, Glide tape finish and carbon-weaved joint protectors. The package listed for the 16m version includes match, power and short kits, a cupping kit, cups and mini extension.
This is a pole for anglers who fish demanding matches, commercials and mixed venues where long-pole performance still needs strength. It is not an entry-level purchase, and it is likely too much pole for occasional margin-only work.
The appeal is high-end control at length, with the XTR700 package focused on stiffness, smooth shipping and strength for modern venues. Its broad kit bundle gives the angler a clearer reason to choose it over a lighter specialist pole.
For anglers comparing it with other flagship poles, the deciding factors are the supplied kit package, section compatibility and how much long-pole work they actually do. It is most convincing for anglers who regularly fish long in matches and need both speed and strength.
