KABURABA MADAI TE

The Prox KABURABA MADAI TE is a boat casting rod series built for madai (red sea bream / Pagrus major) fishing using kabura and tai-rubber lures, a vertical or near-vertical drop-and-flutter technique practiced over Japanese inshore and offshore reef grounds. "Kaburaba" refers to the kabura-style rubber jig or tai-rubber rig, "madai" the target species, and "TE" likely denotes a model tier designation. The intended angler is a boat angler made for red sea bream and similar bottom-oriented species using rubber jig presentations at moderate to significant depths.

(JDM series; copy translated from proxinc. co. jp context.) Both models are 6'5" baitcasting (casting) constructions, a length common to Japanese tai-rubber boat rods, which balances blank sensitivity for detecting the subtle lift-and-drop bites of madai against the need for enough length to manage line off the side of a boat. The casting (baitcasting) configuration is standard for this technique in Japan, where level-wind and baitcasting reels are preferred for depth control and one-handed jigging. The two models share the same 195 cm (6'5") length but differ in power.

The lineup differentiates by power: KRMT195L (L, light) and KRMT195ML (ML, medium-light). Both sit at identical length, so the choice is dictated by lure weight and fishing depth. The L model suits lighter kabura rigs and shallower ground where a more sensitive, parabolic bend registers delicate madai bites; the ML handles heavier rubber jigs needed at greater depths or in stronger current.
