Tenryu Super Mix 240 Travel

Description

The Tenryu Super Mix 240 Travel is a three-piece travel lure rod built for anglers who want one rod that covers a wide range of saltwater and freshwater situations. The blank uses a hybrid blend of 87% high-modulus carbon and 13% glass fibre, which gives a progressive tip for feeling soft plastic bites while keeping a powerful butt section capable of stopping hard-fighting saltwater species. Tenryu's precision engineering is intended to keep the action seamless across the three sections, avoiding the dead feel or flat spots that affect some travel rods. It will cast a 15g surface lure or vertically jig a 60g metal with the responsiveness the brand is known for. - Length: 2.40m (approx. 7' 10") - Casting Weight: 10g – 60g (Vertical jigging up to 100g) - Sections: 3 (Equal lengths) - Transport Length: 84cm - Weight: 157g - Blank Material: 87% Carbon / 13% Glass Fiber - Guides: 9 x Fuji Titanium K-Series SiC (Anti-tangle) - Reel Seat: Ergonomic Fuji VSS Integrated - Handle: High-density black EVA with mini rubber butt pommel - Line Rating: 10lb – 25lb - Origin: Made in Japan - Hybrid Blank Construction: The infusion of glass fiber into the carbon blank is the secret to its durability and "Super Mix" action. It provides the "crunch" needed to cast lures far, while the glass content adds a level of robustness that pure carbon rods often lack when fighting big fish. - Fuji Titanium K-Series Guides: These premium, saltwater-resistant guides are designed to be tangle-free. This is essential when using light braids in windy conditions on the coast. - Exceptional Casting Range: The rod truly comes alive across its entire 10-60g rating. It is subtle enough to animate surface lures like the Patchinko II but stiff enough to work deep-running shads and metals. - Spigot Joint Technology: Tenryu's spigot joints are world-renowned for their fit and finish. They maintain the rod's "through-action," making it feel like a high-performance 1-piece rod despite being a travel-friendly 3-piece setup. - Distinctive "Tenryu Red": The iconic red finish isn't just for looks; it represents the pinnacle of Japanese rod building. The finish is highly resistant to the corrosive effects of saltwater and UV rays. The Super Mix 240 Travel is designed for the roving lure angler: - Shore-Based Bass Fishing: The 7' 10" length is the "sweet spot" for shore lure fishing, offering enough length for long casts while remaining short enough for precise lure manipulation. - Exotic Travel: Because it packs down to 84cm, it fits into most standard suitcases. It has successfully accounted for dozens of species worldwide, from European Bass and Pollack to Barracuda, Snapper, and small Tuna. - Boat and Vertical Jigging: While designed primarily for casting, its powerful butt section allows you to use it for light vertical jigging (up to 100g) over reefs and wrecks. - The "Always Ready" Rod: Its compact size makes it the perfect rod to keep in the boot of your car for those "just in case" sessions after work or while on family holidays.
