ROCK Master (Gen Yu Da Shi, "rockfish master") is Hearty Rise's dedicated light rockfishing series, built for working small jigheads and micro jigs around structure. The blanks use high-density Japanese Toray carbon laid up with HR's NET-V III construction at 99 percent carbon content, finished in the brand's OPP lightweight coating. A slim solid tip carries an orange sight dot so faint bites register visually as well as through the hand, and the tip section joins the butt in a spigot (put-over) style ferrule that preserves a continuous bend through the joint.
Guides are Fuji stainless K-frames, and the handle pairs a Fuji IPS reel seat with a black EVA split grip. The lineup runs ten models, mostly spinning plus a baitcasting version, in two-piece configurations. Sampled specs span 1.72 m to 2.3 m, SUL through ML powers, lure ratings from 0.3-6 g up to 0.6-12 g, and line ratings from PE 0.1 to PE 0.8, with blank weights as low as 63 g. It is a finesse tool for ajing- and mebaru-style work on small bottom-dwelling species.
Shaded band: the spread of the lineup's 10 models, as percentile rank among same-type rods. Solid line = series median · dashed ring = catalog median.
