At the top of the Poison series, the Poison Ultima brings Shimano’s premium Japanese design to the North American market, featuring the brands most advanced rod technologies. At its core is Shimanos Spiral X Core construction, which offers exceptional lightness and enhanced strength in all directions. This is paired with Hi-Power X technology to reduce blank twisting, resulting in greater casting precision.

The rod also includes Shimano’s lightweight X-Guides, which are engineered to maximize casting performance and minimize tangles. Casting models are equipped with a Full Carbon Monocoque gripan all-carbon handle designed for heightened sensitivity and shaped using scientific studies of how competitive anglers hold and move their rods, delivering better overall performance.

Meanwhile, spinning models use a Carbon Shell Gripa hollow, lightweight structure that transmits even the most subtle underwater vibrations directly to the anglers hand. Engineered to push performance boundaries, the Poison Ultima continues to evolve as the ultimate high-end rod in Shimanos lineup.
