Why do we add SJ and MB to some of the Osprey Composites?
Both the SJ and MB have a following in the blanks and rod business. These mandrel designs have been around for many years as they are both multi taper mandrels. They give you features of a performance, crispy, fast tip with excellent versatility depending on what materials you use in your blank design. Â
SJ Composites
SJ stands for our spin jig mandrel to which we make the blank on. It gives you a fast action rod blank, medium power and remains lightweight and powerful. Under heavier loads the blank will bend back into the handle. The mandrel stays smaller in the butt section vs the MB
MB Composites
MB stands for mag bass mandrel to which we make the blank on it gives you a fast action rod blank with a heavy power rod blank. The blank can remain very powerful in the butt section while still keeping its lightweight character like its brother the SJ. Under heavier loads the blank will not bend into the handle. The mandel flairs up bigger in the butt section to give you more power.
