This page indexes 807 Protako fishing rods across 188 series, with full specs for each: length, power, action, lure rating, line rating, pieces, and price where available.
Protako is the export brand of 台灣上興釣具公司, a Taiwanese rod manufacturer founded in Kaohsiung in 1987. The company describes itself first as a maker rather than a marque: alongside finished rods it produces composite components, carbon tube and glass tube, and it states that all blank material is imported Japanese carbon cloth. Its own-brand rods sell into mainland China, the United States, Italy and Spain, and the factory sits in Gangshan District on the northern edge of Kaohsiung.
The catalogue is unusually wide for a single maker, running to roughly 190 ranges across twenty-two categories, and it is organised by fishery rather than by tier. Rockshore iso is the largest block, followed by pond poles, prawn rods, grouper rods and short-section black porgy tackle. Much of it has no Western equivalent at all: 蝦竿 prawn poles for Taiwan's commercial shrimp ponds, 烏鰡竿 black carp rods for managed ponds, 石斑竿 grouper rods rated in 号 of lead, and 前打 and ヘチ rods for working breakwater walls.
The spec sheets follow Japanese convention throughout. Lengths are metric, sinker and leader ratings are given in 号 rather than pounds or grams, collapsed length and tip and butt diameters are published for every model, and carbon content is quoted as a percentage from 10 up to 99. Where a rod carries a stiffness grade it uses the Chinese 硬 scale or a 号 class rather than the UL to XH ladder, which is why most of the range carries no power rating in this catalogue.
What Protako is known for
Protako is best known at home for depth in the fisheries that define Taiwanese angling rather than for a single flagship. The rockshore iso ranges are the core of the catalogue, with Attacker IV, Reoccupy II and Dominate III among the most established. Samurai and Black Mamba anchor the grouper rods, built around Fuji guide trains and sinker loads up to several hundred 号. Lord and its successors cover the prawn ponds, and Major Power II carries the shore lure range for giant trevally and pelagics. Prices span roughly $30 to $600, and the brand sits alongside Hearty Rise as one of the two Taiwanese makers with a genuinely complete domestic catalogue.
