The Tenryu Furrary 230 Travel 60lb Quattro is a four-piece travel rod built on the Furrary blank, designed for anglers who need serious casting power in a format that packs down small. At 2.30m (7' 7") with a 40-120g casting weight, it suits poppers, stickbaits and heavy metal jigs aimed at powerful saltwater predators, from Roosterfish off a panga to Leerfish around Mediterranean rocks. The Quattro multi-piece system is engineered to avoid the dead or stiff feel common at the joints of travel rods, keeping a progressive action that protects knots during violent strikes. The 60lb rating reflects a blank with substantial reserve power in the butt section, giving you the leverage to apply pressure and stop a fish before it reaches the reef. - Model: Tenryu Furrary 230 Travel 60lb Quattro - Length: 2.30m / 7' 7" - Casting Weight: 40 - 120g - Line Rating: 60 lb (approx. PE 4 - PE 6) - Sections: 4 (Equal Length Travel Design) - Transport Length: Approx. 63cm - Blank Material: High-Modulus Japanese Nano-Carbon - Guides: Fuji Heavy Duty Saltwater Series - Handle: High-Density EVA with Trigger Grip / Gimbal - Origin: Handcrafted in Japan Where it suits best: - Central American Panga Trips: The perfect length for casting poppers toward the rocks and wash for Cubera Snapper and Roosterfish. - Mediterranean Bluefish and Leerfish: Ideal for throwing large surface sliders and long jigs in heavy coastal swells. - Light Tropical Popping: Use it in the Maldives or Seychelles for schoolie GTs, Red Bass and Bluefin Trevally where a 100lb rod would be overkill. - Bluefin Tuna (UK/Europe): A fantastic casting rod for surface-feeding Tuna when using 60g-100g stickbaits. Casting technique: the Furrary 230 responds best to a sweeping cast rather than a snappy one. Let the blank load through all four sections and it will launch a 100g stickbait further than many two-piece rods. Pair it with an 8000 or 10000 size reel and high-quality PE 5 braid. Give each section a slight twist when assembling to ensure the vacuum seal is tight, which prevents sections working loose during a long day of heavy casting. Does a 4-piece rod lose strength compared to a 2-piece? Tenryu's Quattro system is engineered to eliminate flat spots, so under load the rod behaves like a continuous curve. Any multi-piece rod requires more care with joint maintenance, but the lifting power of the Furrary 230 60lb is every bit as reliable as a standard blank. Will it fit in my carry-on luggage? At approximately 63cm it fits into most standard checked suitcases with ease. Whether it fits in carry-on depends on your airline's specific dimensions, but for most it will need to go in hold luggage. It is a significant space-saver compared to a 2-metre rod tube. What lures work best with this rod? It performs at its best with stickbaits and poppers in the 60g to 100g range. There is enough give in the tip to let a stickbait swim correctly, with the backbone to pop a medium-sized popper without the rod folding. How does the 60lb rating translate to dragging power? The rod is designed to handle high drag settings, and can comfortably be fished with 8kg to 10kg of drag, which is more than enough to stop most hard-hitting reef predators. It comes with a Lifetime Warranty to the original owner.
