POISON ULTIMA CASTING ROD - 7'2" - MH MF
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 angler’s 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 it’s still moving forward.
