Hard Rock model

The Hard Rock model collection aggregates two Major Craft rockfish series into one lineup: the RockLiver 1G (RV1 prefix, 1G grade, released May 2025) and the New Solpara Hard Rock (SPHR prefix, entry-level, released March 2026). Both target Japanese shore and boat anglers pursuing hard-structure saltwater species, primarily rockfish (kasago, mebaru, ainame/kelp greenling) from jetties, rocky shores, and small-boat platforms. The RV1 is the higher-grade blank; the SPHR serves cost-conscious anglers entering the hard-rock category. RV1 blanks are mid-modulus carbon with a complaint tip and powerful butt, described by the manufacturer as prioritizing bite sensitivity ('food-taking-oriented' tip flex) and strong extraction power.

SPHR blanks use a similar mid-modulus carbon formulation but are explicitly designed for ease of use and low fatigue over long sessions. Both series use Fuji K-frame guides. The RV1 carries a semi-transparent blank finish; the SPHR is the more economical construction. Both include 2-piece designs, spinning and bait models. All actions are Regular Fast (RF), consistent across the full 16-model set. The combined 16 models run from 7'6" to 9'6" spinning and 8'–9' bait. RV1 has 6 spinning (762ML to 962H) and 3 bait (802MH to 902H); SPHR has 5 spinning (762ML to 932MH) and 2 bait (B802MH and B852H).

The short-end 762ML models in both series suit harbor and boat work with lighter rigs (3–25 g); long-end 932MH–962H models are for distant rocky shoreline or surf casting with 40–50 g loads. Bait models are positioned for close-range technical jigging or swim-fishing near structure.
