LEOPARD BORON

The ever-evolving boron-based SSO MINNOWING Rod provides optimal sensitivity and operability, allowing the users to figure out stream flow easily!

SSO MINNOWING Rod has evolved to such a point that it adopted boron fiber. We asked our lab to develop boron fiber in 2013 when SSO MINNOWING Rod was planned for the first time. But we gave up on the use of boron fiber after it turned out that the fiber was in short supply and that the carbon fiber could also create dynamic movements of blank as much as desired. No answer could be found easily to these challenging questions,“How can we develop a fishing rod accommodating to the never-stopping flow of stream?”and“How can we achieve both operability and sensitivity?”Leopard is the rod that offered close answer that none of other SSO MINNOWING could. Leopard combines the sensitivity of FINESSE PLUS and excellent operability of TYPHOON LIMITED and has the following features.

1. BORON FIBER : There was an increase in straightness of rod, not easily bendable even in the face of major flow, as shown by the data obtained by testing various reinforcement techniques applying high tensile strength of boron fiber. Through that, we achieved ultimate operability based on excellent resilience of top section. It is also fitted with robust butt power allowing you to maintain control over big fish in the fast water.

2. 40t CARBON FIBER : Sensitivity, achieved by high elasticity, is very important for anglers to feel the bites of fish or vibrations from the bait trapped beneath the seafloor. Leopard Carbon Mix used 40t carbon basically to maximize sensitivity in both fore grip section and rear grip section, and is finished with exquisite workmanship to maximize resilience of tip section and prevent the risk of damage, thus eliminating the greatest problem in high elasticity rods.

3. Harmony between modernity and classics : We proposed the standard design for Korean style mandarin fish rod, which featured the FINESSE PLUS grip design on the base, end grip made of carbon mono cork in two color tones, expressing eternally unchangeable beautifulness, and bee-tree to create a classical feel.
