Shimano’s Poison Ultima is the evolution of their legendary JDM rod series, engineered for North American anglers who need elite performance from their gear. Dual-core construction featuring Spiral X Core for multi-directional strength and Hi-Power X for twist resistance, creates a blank that balances sensitivity with durability.

X-Guides minimize friction for cleaner casts, while casting models feature a Full Carbon Monocoque grip designed through biomechanical analysis of tournament techniques. Spinning variants employ a hollow Carbon Shell Grip that transmits subtle underwater feedback directly to your hand. Every component reflects Shimano’s commitment to precision and responsiveness at the highest level.
