Tenryu Furrary Exo Jig Sp 100Lb Travel 5′ 3″ 3sec

Tenryu Furrary Exo Jig Sp 100Lb Travel 5′ 3″ 3pc

If your travel plans involve staring down a “world-record” Dogtooth Tuna or winching a massive Grouper out of a deep-water cave, the Tenryu Furrary Exo Jig Sp 100Lb Travel is the absolute peak of portable violence. Here at Gerry’s Fishing, we know the “Tenryu Red” blank is the gold standard, and this 100lb-rated beast is the heavy-caliber specialist of the travel world. It packs the kind of raw, unadulterated power usually reserved for one-piece rods into a three-section blank that disappears into a standard suitcase.

Product Details & Uses

A quick note for the technical angler: while the product description mentions “Furrary Popping,” this 5′ 3″ (1.60m) model is a dedicated Vertical Jigging specialist. At this length, the rod is designed for high-leverage battles in deep water. It uses an elite blend of 88% carbon and 12% glass to create a blank that is both incredibly responsive and virtually indestructible under the “high-sticking” angles often encountered when a massive fish dives directly under the boat.

The 100lb rating makes this one of the most powerful travel jigging rods ever produced. It is designed to handle heavy metal jigs (up to 350g+) and apply the kind of “break-heavy” drag pressure needed to turn a fish’s head before it reaches the reef. Because it is a 3-piece (equal section) rod, it solves the ultimate travel dilemma: how to get a “stopper” rod to a remote destination without paying hundreds in oversized baggage fees.

Prime Locations & Uses:

• Extreme Tropical Jigging: The premier choice for targeting “Record Class” Dogtooth Tuna, Giant Trevally (GT), and Amberjack in the Maldives, Ascension Island, or Oman.

• Deep-Water Monsters: Ideal for targeting huge Grouper, Wreckfish, and specimen Sharks in depths of 100m to 200m.

• Heavy Speed Jigging: Perfectly balanced for high-intensity mechanical jigging with heavy metal jigs that require a stiff, fast-recovery blank to “pop” correctly.

• The “No-Fail” Travel Rod: Designed for the angler heading to the most remote corners of the globe where gear failure is simply not an option.

Gerry’s Pro Tip

“The 100lb Exo Jig is a specialized winch. At 5′ 3″, it puts all the leverage in your hands, not the fish’s—but make no mistake, this rod will test your physical fitness! My advice? Pair this with a high-capacity, high-torque reel like a Shimano Stella 18000/20000 or a Daiwa Saltiga 18000. Because it’s a 3-piece rod, always double-check your joints after the first few jigs; a tiny bit of joint wax will keep them secure and ensure that when you hook that 50kg Doggy, the rod acts as one solid, terrifyingly powerful unit.”

Detailed Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Is a 3-piece rod really safe for 100lb class fish?

A: In the hands of Tenryu, yes. They are the world leaders in multi-piece big game engineering. The 88/12 carbon-glass blend is specifically designed to distribute the load across the joints, creating a seamless power curve that can handle 20kg+ of drag pressure without “flat-spotting” or failing.

Q: Will it fit in a carry-on or a standard suitcase?

A: At roughly 58cm, it is slightly too long for most airline carry-on regulations but will fit diagonally in almost any standard large check-in suitcase. This allows you to transport a world-class big game outfit without anyone knowing it’s there.

Q: Can I use this for casting poppers?

A: No. This is a vertical jigging rod. The 5′ 3″ length and guide configuration are designed for power and leverage, not for casting distance. If you need a travel rod for popping, look at the Furrary Travel 80lb or the Red Fight Travel 120lb.

Q: Why the 12% glass content?

A: In extreme 100lb jigging, the “shatter point” of pure high-modulus carbon is a real danger during sudden lunges. The 12% glass adds a layer of “elastic toughness,” allowing the rod to absorb massive shocks and survive extreme angles when a fish is circling directly beneath the boat.
