Tenryu Furrary Travel Quatro 80 lb

At Gerry’s Fishing, we know that for the serious globetrotter, the ultimate challenge isn’t just the fish—it’s getting your gear to the destination. Gone are the days of paying extortionate “oversized” fees for 2-meter rod tubes. The Tenryu Furrary Travel Quatro 80 lb is a masterpiece of engineering, packing the raw, explosive power of a dedicated tropical popper rod into a travel-friendly, 4-piece configuration.

Standing at 9′ (2.74m) with a colossal casting range of 80-250g, this rod is designed for one thing: reaching the horizon and stopping monsters. Whether you are chasing Giant Trevally (GT) in Oman, Yellowfin Tuna in the Atlantic, or Cubera Snapper in Central America, the Furrary Quatro provides the leverage and “grunt” needed to dominate the fight. Despite being a multi-piece rod, Tenryu’s legendary joint technology ensures a seamless power curve that feels like a single-piece blank under load.

Distance, Power, and Portability

The Furrary series is famous for being a “popper” specialist. Unlike stiffer rods that can be exhausting to work all day, the Furrary features a slightly more progressive tip that allows you to “chug” large poppers and “sweep” big diving sliders with less physical strain. The extra length (9 feet) is a tactical advantage, allowing for massive clearance during the cast—essential when fishing from high-sided boats or rocky shorelines where every extra yard of distance puts your lure in the strike zone of a trophy predator.

Examples of Where to Use

• Tropical Popping: The go-to choice for casting 150g+ poppers for GTs and Dogtooth Tuna in the Maldives or Madagascar.

• Bluefin & Yellowfin Tuna: Perfect for “popping” to surface-feeding schools where long-distance casting is required to avoid spooking the fish with the boat.

• Heavy Shore Jigging & Luring: The 9ft length makes this an incredible tool for land-based anglers targeting Kingfish, Sharks, or big Pelagics from rock ledges.

• The ultimate “Just in Case” Rod: Because it fits in a standard suitcase, it is the perfect insurance policy for any tropical holiday where a monster might show up.

Gerry’s Pro Tip

“When you’re dealing with an 80lb travel rod, the joints are your most important check. Before you start casting 200g poppers, make sure each section is firmly seated with a slight twist. My pro tip for the Furrary 80lb: pair it with a high-end 14000 or 18000 size reel (like a Shimano Stella or Daiwa Saltiga) and at least PE 8 braid. The 9ft length gives you incredible leverage, but remember to ‘fight with the butt’ of the rod. Let that massive reserve of power do the work, and keep the rod angle below 45 degrees when the fish is under the boat to avoid high-sticking!”

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a 4-piece rod really have the strength for 80lb line?

Yes. Tenryu is world-renowned for their travel rod technology. The spigot joints on the Furrary Quatro are reinforced and precision-ground to ensure that the blank behaves as a continuous curve. It is built to withstand the same drag pressures as the 2-piece version.

Will it fit in my suitcase?

With a transport length of approximately 75cm, it fits into most large checked-luggage suitcases diagonally. This eliminates the need for a separate rod tube and saves you significant money on airline sports equipment fees.

What is the ‘Lifetime Warranty’?

Tenryu stands by their craftsmanship. The Lifetime Warranty covers manufacturing defects for the original owner. Given the extreme environments this rod is designed for, that peace of mind is worth its weight in gold. (Always keep your proof of purchase from Gerry’s!)

Can I use lures lighter than 80g?

You can, but the rod won’t ‘load’ effectively. To get the legendary casting distance this rod is famous for, you really want to be using lures in the 120g to 200g sweet spot. It is a heavy-duty tool for heavy-duty fish.
