This leader is incredibly strong, built with a focus on durability and abrasion resistance. Thanks to its titanium polymer coating, the surface hardness is significantly increased, achieving outstanding abrasion resistance and impact resistance. It also has zero water absorption, resulting in excellent water repellency. It's resistant to scratches, and even if scratched, the damage won't be splintered. It feels as though it repels scratches. While the surface hardness is "hard," it still maintains sufficient elasticity as a shock leader.
