EGI Style III is the third generation of Hearty Rise's long telescopic float-and-bait series, rolled on the brand's patented NET-V III material layup with a revised action that raises elasticity, toughness, and stiffness over the previous version. The three models run 3.9 m, 4.2 m, and 4.5 m, all four-section telescopic blanks in 99 percent carbon, weighing 244 g to 266 g and collapsing to 110 cm to 126 cm for transport. A new anti-slip grip design keeps the long blank comfortable to hold through a session.

Hearty Rise pitches it as a broad-application rod for two distinct fisheries: sliding-float fishing for large fish in the reservoirs of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, and live-bait fishing for sea bass along the Jiangsu and Zhejiang coast. The telescopic format is the point here, giving reservoir and shore anglers a packable long rod that still fishes with a lure-rod-grade carbon blank.
