Rock Tribe

The Rock Tribe is Jackson's shore rockfishing series, three rods covering heavy rock and eging presentations from exposed headlands and high-cliff platforms. Two spinning models and one casting model make up the series. The RTS-804H-MHST (8ft4in) is a composite blank: Heavy power in the butt section and Medium Heavy Solid Tip at the tip, combining backbone for big fish extraction with sensitivity for detecting subtle bites. The RTS-906XXH (9ft6in) is a conventional Extra Extra Heavy spinning rod rated 20-85g on PE#1-3.5. The RTC-808XH (8ft8in) is the casting option at Extra Heavy power, 14-65g on PE#1-3.

Rod weights run from 148g (804H-MHST) to 192g (906XXH). All three use Fast or Extra Fast action blanks. The series targets the hard-fighting demersal species found on rocky Japanese coastlines: ainame, ling, and large mebaru, as well as the larger wrasse and rockfish species that require serious backbone to be extracted from deep crevices.

Priced from ¥39,050 to ¥42,350, the Rock Tribe sits at the premium end of the rockfishing market, reflecting the blank engineering required for high-load situations from exposed platforms.
