KAPPO TORAFUGU DUAL LENGTH

The Prox KAPPO TORAFUGU DUAL LENGTH is a single-model boat casting rod designed for torafugu (tiger pufferfish, Takifugu rubripes) fishing from a vessel, a specialized Japanese boat technique that requires both visual and tactile sensitivity to detect the delicate bite of a pufferfish. The Kappo (割烹) sub-brand name in Prox's lineup designates the refined, higher-specification tier of their torafugu-specific rods. "Dual Length" indicates the rod features an adjustable or variable-length design allowing reach adaptation on the boat deck.

Prox torafugu rods across the lineup are characterized by high-sensitivity carbon blanks with a near-tip-heavy action (8:2 or similar), a soft solid tip often painted high-visibility white for visual bite detection, and reel seats designed for maximum blank contact, the ECS blank-touch seat found in related Prox fugu models lets vibration transmit directly through the grip. The KTFTK1719 at 5'7" is a 2-piece baitcasting configuration suited to boat stowage and the short-stroke presentation common in this technique.

The lineup is a single model: KTFTK1719 (5'7", casting). No additional power variants or length options are documented for this specific series. Proxinc. co. jp is the authoritative source; the product page was inaccessible during research.
