Spec 10
Hechifishing (dock/wall) poles in 2.4-3.0m, Medium to Medium-Heavy, packing to 50cm.
Spec 10 is a hechifishing (wall/dock fishing) pole series in three lengths: 2.4m (7'10"), 2.7m (8'10"), and 3.0m (9'10"). All three are 95% carbon and pack to approximately 50cm. Pieces are 6, 7, and 8 respectively. Rod weights run 102g (240M), 113g (270M+), and 141g (300MH). Tip diameter is 1.0mm across all three.
Hechifishing (hechi-zuri) is a Japanese urban shore style where the angler drops a baited hook directly along the face of pilings, walls, or jetty bases and watches the line for the subtle signals of a take. Target species is primarily kurodai (black sea bream / chinu). The three action ratings progress from Medium (240M) through Medium-Plus (270M+) to Medium-Heavy (300MH). Sinker load runs 1-3号 (approx. 4-11g) for the two lighter models and 1-5号 (approx. 4-18g) for the 300MH; leader ratings are 0.6-2.0号 and 0.8-3.0号 respectively.
The combination of a sensitive 1.0mm tip and a capable lower section is characteristic of hechi rod design: the tip must transmit minute line movements to the angler's hand, while the butt section must have sufficient power to turn a large bream away from the piling it is running toward. The spec.10 is the only rod in the RGM lineup built specifically for saltwater bait fishing.

Model notes
2 of 3 modelsEntry-length hechifishing model at 2.4m (7'10"), 6-piece, packing to 50.5cm. The 1.0mm tip transmits wall-line movement while the 95% carbon butt section provides power to turn bream away from pilings. Rated for 1-3号 sinker (approx. 4-11g) on 0.6-2.0号 leader.
Heaviest spec.10 model at 141g and the only one rated Medium Heavy. 8-piece at 3.0m (9'10"), packing to 50.7cm. The heavier sinker rating (1-5号, up to 18g) and stronger leader (0.8-3.0号) address fishing at deeper dock positions where heavier rigs are needed to reach bottom in tidal current.
