A statement of intent - purpose-built for anglers who crave precision, performance, and perfection. Designed for those who seek cutting-edge innovation and ultimate performance, the Poison Glorious delivers unparalleled precision, responsiveness, and balance for the most competitive freshwater environments. This third-generation masterpiece from Shimano is the evolution of high-performance lure rods, and refined through countless hours on the water. It redefines what’s possible in action, balance, and sensitivity, giving you the control and confidence to turn every opportunity into victory.
The Poison Glorious achieves its exceptional performance through Shimano’s most advanced rod-building technologies. The Spiral X Core and Hi-Power X carbon structure significantly reduce blank torsion and ovalisation, maximizing casting accuracy, strength, and responsiveness. Delivering unmatched control when casting heavy lures or pulling fish from cover, while also ensuring accurate jigging and long-distance presentations. Even for finesse presentations you’ll maintain great tip control with Taftec Infinity’s solid carbon tip with high strength and flexibility.
The Ultimate Blanks Design (UBD) creates seamless transitions throughout the blank, maintaining sharpness, while enhancing smoothness for advanced rig control. A Full Carbon Monocoque and Carbon Monocoque Grip construction transmits subtle vibrations directly to the angler’s hand, delivering unmatched sensitivity and feel. Crucial for detecting bottom contact and subtle bites in deep water.
Each rod is fitted with lightweight Shimano X-Guides to optimize line flow and casting performance, and specific custom CI4+ reel seats have been selected for each model ensuring ergonomic comfort and maximum feedback. Thanks to the high-density MuscleCarbon, strength increases while keeping the rod ultra-light. Enabling you for long sessions without fatigue and providing the backbone to fight big fish.
Each model is tuned for specific lure techniques, achieving flawless balance, effortless handling, and incredible feedback. The result is a rod that becomes a natural extension of you - built for total control, pure sensitivity, and peak performance. All together, these elements make the Poison Glorious the ultimate expression of performance and innovation - the winning rod for a new era!
