The Prime Onyx is Denali's panfish spinning series at $79.99, covering eleven models from 4-foot-6 to 7-foot-6 for crappie, bluegill, and light panfish fishing. The lineup is organized into three sub-groups: Ultra Light Moderate models for general panfish work, Medium Light Moderate models for crappie dock shooting and vertical jigging, and Extra Fast Medium and Medium Heavy models for larger panfish and light bass applications.
The three Ultra Light models at 6-foot-6, 6-foot-9, and 7 feet target general panfish presentations with lures from 1/32 to 1/4 oz. The Medium Light Moderate group spans 4-foot-6 to 7-foot-6 including a compact 4-foot-6 model for dock shooting and close-quarters crappie work with 5+tip guide systems. The two Extra Fast models at 7 feet in Medium and Medium Heavy power handle heavier jigs and smaller swimbaits at lure weights to 5/8 oz.
Guide counts are listed as variable (shown as '?+tip' for some models) and as 5+tip or 6+tip for others, reflecting the use of a tip guide plus running guides typical in panfish rod construction. No line weight column is listed in the series table.
