The Tenryu Injection SP 82 MH Quattro is a four-piece travel rod from Tenryu's Injection range, built for lure anglers who want high-performance blank design in a package that fits in a suitcase. Measuring 2.50m (8' 2") with a casting weight of 12-45g, it pairs a Regular Fast action with a high-modulus carbon blank made in Japan. The result is a rod with a tip sensitive enough to register the subtle vibrations of a paddletail and a mid-section powerful enough to launch hard baits long distances. The 8' 2" length also gives useful leverage when steering a hard-fighting bass away from sub-surface obstacles or working a lure around jagged boulders. The SP 82 MH suits exploratory fishing. Fished from a boat, it offers fine line control for drifting soft baits through the water column; fished from the shore, it is a capable distance caster. It is a specialist for soft lure fishing, handling straight retrieves, bottom bouncing and light pulls, while retaining the backbone and recovery speed to work large topwater lures with authority. The Black Limited version pushes sensitivity further with a premium cork heel and a series of ultra-lightweight Fuji Titanium rings, reducing the rod's swing weight so vibration from the lure transmits more directly through the blank. - Model: Tenryu Injection SP 82 MH Quattro - Length: 2.50m / 8' 2" - Casting Weight: 12 - 45g - Sections: 4 (Quattro Travel Design) - Action: Regular Fast - Blank Material: High-Modulus Carbon (Made in Japan) - Guides: Fuji (Titanium on Black Ltd / Alconite on Standard) - Handle: Premium EVA (Cork on Black Ltd) - Transport Length: Approx. 68cm - Recommended PE: 0.8 - 2.0 Where it works well: - Rocky outcrops and scree slopes: the 8' 2" length provides the leverage to fish over boulders and keep your line clear of snags. - Boat exploration: excellent for casting soft plastics long distances toward shorelines or structures while maintaining precise feel. - Lure variety: specifically tuned for small to medium paddle tails, but has the power to punch out 140mm surface sliders and heavy metal jigs. - International travel: the 4-piece design makes it a practical companion for trips to the Mediterranean for barracuda, or the tropics for hard-hitting reef species. On the question of whether a four-piece rod loses sensitivity against a two-piece, Tenryu's Quattro joints are precision-engineered to maintain a consistent curve under load, retaining the vibration transmission the Injection range is known for. The 45g casting weight can be used comfortably, though the rod is at its best between 15g and 35g; a 40g metal or a large surface lure is handled with ease provided the casting stroke is smooth. It is suitable for saltwater use, as all Tenryu rods are built with high-grade components designed to withstand the coastal environment, and a freshwater rinse after each session is recommended to keep the guides and blank in good condition.
