The Tenryu Furrary Travel Quatro 80 lb is a four-piece travel rod that packs the power of a dedicated tropical popper rod into a configuration that fits in a suitcase. At 9ft (2.74m) with a casting range of 80-250g, it is built for reaching distance and controlling powerful fish, whether that means Giant Trevally in Oman, Yellowfin Tuna in the Atlantic or Cubera Snapper in Central America. Tenryu's joint technology gives the multi-piece blank a seamless power curve that feels like a single-piece rod under load. The Furrary series is known as a popper specialist. Rather than a stiff blank that tires you out over a long session, it has a slightly more progressive tip that lets you work large poppers and big diving sliders with less physical strain. The 9ft length provides extra clearance on the cast, which helps when fishing from high-sided boats or rocky shorelines where added distance puts the lure into the strike zone of a trophy predator. - Model: Tenryu Furrary Travel Quatro 80 lb - Length: 2.74m / 9' 0" - Casting Weight: 80 - 250g - Sections: 4 (Travel Design) - Line Rating: 80 lb (approx.

Does a 4-piece rod really have the strength for 80lb line? Yes. Tenryu is well known for its travel rod technology. The spigot joints on the Furrary Quatro are reinforced and precision-ground so the blank behaves as a continuous curve, and it is built to withstand the same drag pressures as the 2-piece version. Will it fit in my suitcase? With a transport length of approximately 75cm, it fits into most large checked-luggage suitcases diagonally, removing the need for a separate rod tube. What is the Lifetime Warranty? Tenryu stands by its craftsmanship. The Lifetime Warranty covers manufacturing defects for the original owner. Can I use lures lighter than 80g? You can, but the rod will not load effectively. To get the casting distance this rod is known for, lures in the 120g to 200g range are the sweet spot. It is a heavy-duty tool for heavy-duty fish. When fishing an 80lb travel rod, the joints are the most important thing to check. Before casting 200g poppers, make sure each section is firmly seated with a slight twist. A high-end 14000 or 18000 size reel paired with at least PE 8 braid suits this rod. The 9ft length gives considerable leverage, so fight with the butt of the rod, let the reserve of power do the work, and keep the rod angle below 45 degrees when the fish is under the boat to avoid high-sticking.
