The Matrix Gripper Rest – 22 cm is a rod support accessory used in coarse and match fishing to hold the rear end of a fishing rod steady on a bankstick, pod, or other support system. Its “gripper” design means the rest has secure holding surfaces that gently clamp the rod butt, reducing the chance of the rod sliding forward or out during long waits or when fish pick up line. At 22 cm in length, it is longer and more robust than compact rests, offering greater stability and support for a wide range of rod sizes and conditions.

This gripper rest is especially useful for anglers using medium to heavy rods, longer sessions, or venues where bites can be strong or sudden. The extended length gives a larger contact area, which enhances grip and helps keep the rod properly positioned regardless of angle or tension. Its construction is typically corrosion‑resistant and durable, built to withstand repeated exposure to water, mud, and knocks from regular use. The design also helps absorb minor shocks or rod bounce that can occur during casting or when fish strike, helping maintain correct rod orientation and improving bite detection.

Because it integrates easily with modular bank gear, this rest can be positioned exactly where you need it, alongside trays, alarms, or alarms clips, helping keep your fishing station organised and effective.
