Water Wave Zoom (水波前打 ZOOM) is Hearty Rise's maeuchi (front-drop) rod for black seabream, a technique that presents a bait falling naturally down pilings and rock faces to wary chinu. The blank uses SNVC ultra-high-density lightweight carbon for a strong mid and butt section, matched to a slim, sensitive tip that registers the faint takes typical of the species; the powerful lower half is meant to pull hooked fish away from the bottom quickly and shorten the fight.

Five HH models cover 4.84 m, 5.34 m and 6.33 m fixed lengths plus two zoom versions, a 45-53 that adjusts around 5.31 m and a 53-63, letting the angler match reach to the structure being fished. Builds run five to six sections of 99 percent carbon, weighing 154 g to 223 g with closed lengths near 120 cm. All models carry the stiff HH action the technique demands.
