MADAI TENYA AIR-K

The Prox MADAI TENYA AIR-K is a single-model spinning rod designed for hitotsu-tenya madai (red sea bream, Pagrus major) boat fishing, a Japanese slow-presentation offshore technique using a shrimp-baited tenya jig to target bream in mid-water column depths. The AIR-K designation in Prox's nomenclature signals a lightweight, high-sensitivity construction tier. The target angler is a Japanese boat madai specialist who wants a specialized rod over a generic offshore blank.

At 240 cm (7'10"), the MTAK240M follows the standard length range for hitotsu-tenya rods (2.1–2.6 m) that facilitate light tenya operation from a boat gunwale with wrist-based jigging strokes. Rods in this class feature sensitive solid or semi-solid tips that telegraph the preliminary light bite of madai, with progressive mid-sections capable of absorbing the surge of a large bream without pulling the tenya free.

The 240M coding follows standard Japanese boat-rod nomenclature (length in cm, power tier). The lineup is a single model: MTAK240M (7'10", spinning, Medium). No variant in different lengths or powers is documented for this series. The product page at proxinc. co. jp was inaccessible during research.
