SX PRIMONELLA PAYAO

The Prox SX Primonella Payao is a JDM boat fishing rod series designed specifically for payao fishing, a Southeast Asian and Pacific practice of fishing around FADs (fish aggregating devices) anchored in open water. Target species include small to medium pelagics such as yellowfin tuna, mahi-mahi, and skipjack. All 8 models are uniform in length at 5'11" (180 cm), which is typical of short, powerful boat rods intended for vertical or near-vertical jigging and live-baiting from a small vessel.

The lineup covers H and MH power in all combinations of spinning/casting and standard/K variants. The K suffix appears to denote a variant configured for a specific grip or knuckle guard setup common in Japanese offshore boat fishing. Both casting (C) and spinning versions are offered to suit angler preference. The compact 5'11" length across all models indicates a specialized boat application, outside the casting distance rod lane, but a fighting tool for use in rod holders or standup at close quarters.

All 8 models share the same 5'11" blank length and split into four functional pairs: H spinning, H spinning K, H casting, H casting K, then the same four at MH. The MH versions handle lighter class fish; H versions step up for larger pelagics. The K variants likely add a different handle or trigger configuration for boat-fishing comfort.
