Description
The Poison Ultima represents the peak of the Poison rod series, bringing Shimano’s top-tier Japanese design (JDM) to North America and highlighting the brand’s most advanced technologies. At its core, the rod features Shimano’s Spiral X Core construction, which enhances strength in multiple directions while keeping the rod lightweight. This is combined with Hi-Power X technology to minimize blank twist and improve control.
For casting models, Shimano includes its ultra-sensitive Full Carbon Monocoque grip, made entirely of carbon and shaped based on scientific analysis of how competitive anglers hold and move the rod maximizing both comfort and performance. The spinning models come with a Carbon Shell Grip, a hollow, lightweight design that amplifies sensitivity by transmitting even the faintest underwater vibrations to the anglers hand.
Outfitted with high-performance Shimano X-Guides to enhance casting accuracy and reduce line troubles, the Poison Ultima is crafted for serious anglers who demand cutting-edge performance. It’s the ultimate evolution in Shimano’s rod design and its still moving forward.
