Tenryu Furrary Travel Quatro 60lb Long Cast

At Gerry’s Fishing, we know the struggle of trying to get a 9-foot rod through an airport terminal. Usually, that means oversized baggage fees and a prayer that your rod tube makes it in one piece. The Tenryu Furrary Travel Quatro 60lb Long Cast changes the game entirely. This is a precision-engineered, high-performance tropical weapon that packs down into four sections, fitting into standard checked luggage while maintaining the legendary “Red Rod” power and “Long Cast” pedigree.

Measuring 2.70m (9’ 0”) with a substantial casting range of 60-180g, this rod is built for the angler who needs maximum distance. Whether you are launching poppers from a high-sided boat or shore-jigging from a rocky headland, the extra length provides incredible leverage. The standout feature here is the blank composition: 62% carbon and 38% glass. That high glass content isn’t a cost-saving measure—it’s the secret to the rod’s “mechanical resistance.” It allows the blank to load deeper during the cast (the “Long Cast” effect) and provides a safety margin during brutal fights with pelagic monsters that pure carbon rods simply cannot match.

The Ultimate Long-Range Travel Tool

The Furrary 60lb Long Cast is a masterclass in balance. While it is rated for heavy-duty 60lb line classes, the progressive action ensures that working lures in the 80g–150g sweet spot is a pleasure rather than a chore. The Quatro joint system is designed to eliminate the “flat spots” usually found in travel rods, providing a seamless power curve that transition energy from the tip to the powerful butt section during a fight.

Examples of Where to Use

• Tropical Shore Jigging: The 9ft length is essential for clearing the “white water” and rocks when casting 80g-120g metal jigs for Kingfish or Snapper.

• Tuna “Popping” Missions: Perfect for reaching surface-feeding schools of Yellowfin or Bluefin Tuna where the boat needs to keep a respectful distance to avoid spooking the fish.

• Medium Tropical Popping: Ideal for the Maldives or Madagascar when targeting GTs, Red Bass, and Bluefin Trevally on stickbaits and medium poppers.

• The “Just-In-Case” Luggage Essential: Because it fits in a suitcase, it is the perfect rod to take on any tropical holiday where a rogue monster might show up near the reef.

Gerry’s Pro Tip

“The 38% glass content in this blank is what makes it a ‘Long Cast’ machine. Don’t try to ‘snap’ the cast like you would with a stiff Bass rod. Instead, use a long, sweeping overhead motion. You will feel the rod load much deeper into the mid-section, and that glass will catapult your lure significantly further with less effort. My setup advice? Pair this with an 8000 or 10000 size saltwater reel and high-quality PE 5 braid. And remember: always check your joints after an hour of heavy casting—vibration can sometimes loosen multi-piece rods, so a quick ‘re-snug’ keeps everything safe!”

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 4-piece design make it weaker than a 2-piece rod?

Tenryu is a world leader in multi-piece technology. The Quatro joints are precision-ground to ensure the rod behaves like a single-piece blank under pressure. When fished within its 60lb rating, it is just as reliable as any standard tropical rod.

Why is there so much glass (38%) in the blank?

In heavy-duty lure fishing, ‘mechanical resistance’ is key. Carbon provides the lightness and fast recovery, while the glass provides ‘toughness.’ This mix allows the rod to bend into an extreme ‘U-shape’ during a fight without snapping, which is vital when a big fish dives under the boat.

Will it fit in my suitcase?

With a transport length of approximately 73cm, it fits into most large checked suitcases diagonally. This saves you the hassle and cost of carrying a dedicated rod tube.

Can I use lures heavier than 180g?

The 180g rating is the maximum recommended casting weight. While the rod is incredibly tough, pushing beyond this limit will reduce your casting distance and put unnecessary strain on the joints. Stay in the 80g to 150g window for peak performance.
