Kaito (海島) is an iso float rod that pairs traditional rod design with Hearty Rise's NET-V construction. The aim of the combination is balance: reduced weight and better handling without losing the classical iso feel, producing a sharp, responsive action. The blank carries real reserve power for its class, built so that when a large pelagic takes the bait off the rocks the rod, not the fish, keeps the initiative, letting the angler fight big aomono with control rather than strain.

Four models cover the line, all 5.3 m five-piece telescopic rods in 99% carbon with a 115 cm closed length, graded 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5 gou at 203 g, 211 g, 223 g and 241 g respectively. The lighter grades handle standard float work for bream-class fish, while the 2 and 2.5 gou blanks are the ones to reach for where bigger pelagics patrol the point.
