Shimano Poison Ultima Spinning Rods

The Shimano Poison Ultima Spinning Rod represents the highest level of rod innovation in the Shimano lineup, delivering cutting-edge Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) performance to North American anglers. As the flagship of the Poison series, it integrates Shimano’s Spiral X Core technology—a fusion of strength, responsiveness, and lightweight construction that enhances multi-directional rigidity and sensitivity. Coupled with Hi-Power X technology, the blank structure drastically reduces rod twist, resulting in more accurate casting and powerful hooksets even under demanding fishing conditions.

Designed to be as sensitive as it is strong, the Poison Ultima Spinning Rod utilizes Shimano’s Carbon Shell Grip, a unique hollow and lightweight grip that maximizes the transmission of vibration through the rod and into the angler’s hand. This grip technology allows for unparalleled bite detection and helps anglers perceive the most subtle underwater changes. The high-performance X-Guides used on these rods complement the blank's design, ensuring smooth line flow and superior casting distance with reduced tangles or friction.

From its visually striking aesthetics to its function-first engineering, every aspect of the Poison Ultima is optimized for elite-level performance. Whether you are finessing light plastics or working reaction baits in high-pressure environments, the precision, strength, and ultra-sensitivity of the Poison Ultima make it a top-tier choice for serious spinning anglers. It’s not just a rod—it’s the culmination of decades of Shimano’s rod-building expertise, crafted for anglers who accept nothing but the best.
