The Tenryu Furrary Exo Jig SP 60lb Travel is a three-piece vertical jigging rod built for anglers who need serious offshore power in a package that fits a suitcase. At 5' 3" (1.60m), it is the deep-water specialist in the Furrary range, and the shorter length works in the angler's favour: with less leverage against you, it is easier to work heavy jigs and pump big fish up from depth without straining your lower back. The blank is an 88% carbon and 12% glass composition. The carbon supplies the snap and recovery needed to bring a 200g jig to life, while the glass content adds a safety margin for the extreme, high-pressure angles that occur when fish dive straight under the boat — bends that could shatter a pure carbon rod. Prime locations and uses: - Tropical jigging: a go-to tool for Dogtooth Tuna, Giant Trevally (GT) and Amberjack in destinations such as the Maldives, Madagascar or the Andaman Islands. - Vertical speed jigging: balanced for high-speed mechanical jigging with metal jigs up to 250g. - Deep-water wrecking: a high-end choice for big Conger Eels and specimen Ling in UK waters where portability matters. - Travel: designed to fit a standard large suitcase with a 70.5cm transport length, making it a discreet option for fly-and-fish expeditions. Because it is a three-piece rod, the joints matter most. A little joint wax helps prevent them twisting during a fast jigging retrieve, so the rod performs like a one-piece while still travelling easily. Pair it with a high-torque 8000 or 10000 size spinning reel. This is a dedicated vertical jigging rod rather than a casting tool — the short length and guide configuration are not built for casting distance, so anglers wanting a travel rod for popping should look at the 7' 3" or 8' 4" Furrary Travel models. - Model: Tenryu Furrary Exo Jig Sp 60Lb Travel - Length: 5' 3" (1.60m) - Sections: 3-Piece (Equal Length Strands) - Transport Length: 70.5cm - Line Rating: 60lb Class (PE 4-6) - Jig Weight: Up to 250g - Blank Composition: 88% Carbon / 12% Glass - Guides: Fuji Titanium K-Series (Heavy Duty) - Handle: Premium High-Density EVA Offshore Grip - Origin: Hand-built in Japan
