POISON ULTIMA

The peak of the Poison series has evolved even further. A new legend begins with the Ultima.

This is the first time the Poison Ultima has been revamped since its debut in 2014. In 2022, 4 standard yet crucial items were released. The full carbon monocoque grip adopts a new shape. Placing the pull trigger on the rear grip, the stability during operation and the holdability during casting are improved. Spiral X core, Hi-Power X, and the new UBD (Ultimate Blanks Design) are fused. The true lightness pursued by Glorious has evolved, and both operability and sensitivity have been further refined. Sophisticated performance and functional beauty. A new legend begins with Ultima.

FEATURES

TORAYCA® M40X high elasticity, high strength material

The SPIRAL X CORE with high-strength, high-elasticity carbon material TORAYCA® "MX Series". The MX Series is a new material that achieves both high strength and high elastic modulus by precisely controlling the crystal structure of carbon fibers at the nano-level to create an "ultra-highly oriented microcrystal" structure with fewer defects. The potential of SHIMANO's original blanks has been further improved.


*Adopted for 172H and 2610L-S

FULLCARBON MONOCOQUE triangle shape

New dimension grip end structure with a hollow integrated structure from the rear of the reel seat to the rear grip. The triangle-shaped rear grip increases the contact area with the arm and improves stability during lure operation and fighting, while the V-shaped underside allows anglers to accurately grasp the direction of the lure and easily make adjustments easily during casting and follow-through.


*Adopted for 1611ML+ and 172H

Perfection sheet XT

The reel seat is thoroughly lightweight while maintaining the balance between ease of grip and power transmission. By cutting unnecessary materials down to the smallest detail, light and delicate action is possible. The carbon reinforced material CI4+ is used.


*Adopted for 163MH, 1610L-BFS, 1611ML+, 172H, 174MH-G

Perfection Sheet CI4+

Seat with enhanced holding performance. Even with a light grip, the grip is effective, allowing the angler to manipulate delicate rod actions as intended.


*Except 163MH, 1610L-BFS, 1611ML+, 172H, 174MH-G, 264/66SUL-S

Original grip end badge

An exclusive badge with the JACKALL x SHIMANO brand logo is placed on the grip end. This makes it look stylish around the grips and also satisfies the angler's sense of ownership.

Tip cover type rod bag

The tip section is a separate type, conveniently protecting delicate rod tips during transportation and storage.

SPIRALXCORE_RD
SPIRAL X CORE

Spiral X Core is Shimano's newest and most advanced blank construction technology. By integrating Spiral X carbon tape construction with Toray Nanoalloy® technology, Spiral X Core constructed blanks benefit from up to 10% more torsional rigidity and up to 15% more compressional rigidity than rods built with Spiral X. Shimano is unique to the market by applying by high-strength carbon tape with this unique and patented Spiral X construction.


*Excluding 162L-S,163MH,166M,170M,174MH-G

SPIRALX_RD
SPIRAL X

Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano's patented Spiral X construction enhances catching power for anglers. Spiral X construction consists of three layers: a middle layer of vertical fibers as well as inner and outer layers, both comprised of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite directions. By using this carbon tape in place of a conventional horizontal fiber sheet, Spiral X achieves enhanced compression rigidity and increased torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. This in turn facilitates instant power transmission for precise casting and fish fighting.

XGUIDE_RD
X GUIDE

The X guide was born from the viewpoint to bring out the potential of blanks to the full. Supporting the guide rings of the tip part is a one-piece structure frame molded with the latest material by 3D technology. Its beautiful shape combines strength with the calculated inclination angle and three-dimensional structure to suppress line entanglement. The tip guides are light and small. In the butt part we have the Aero Titanium X guide which contributes to casting feeling and casting distance. X guide is Shimano's original high performance guide which fused lightness, trouble less, casting performance to higher dimensions.

FULLCARBONMONOCOQUE_RD
FULLCARBON MONOCOQUE

The Full Carbon Monocoque Grip is the evolution of the Carbon Monocoque Grip. The complete grip is made of a hollow carbon construction, eliminating the use of EVA. This results in a very lightweight construction which is also more sensitive. Compared to the normal Carbon Monocoque Grip the sensitivity has increased with 128%.


*1610L-BFS,1610M,1611ML+,170MH,172H

CARBONMONOCOQUE_RD
CARBON MONOCOQUE

Carbon Monocoque grip is a carbon-molded grip that is lightweight with high sensitivity, transferring even the smallest vibration to an angler’s hand. The Carbon Monocoque Grip increases sensitivity by 30% compared to traditional rod handles and utilizes a hollow structure that eliminates unnecessary parts of the rear grip to improve weight reduction and vibration transmission.

CARBONSHELLGRIP_RD
CARBONSHELL GRIP

The Carbon Shell Grip is a next-generation grip structure made out of a hollow carbon structure. It contributes to the transmittance of vibrations to the hand. A lightweight, high-sensitivity grip that defies conventional wisdom.

HI-POWERX_RD
HI-POWER X

Hi-Power X construction uses diagonally-wrapped carbon tape to form an array of "X" shapes on the rod blank's outermost layer. The width of the tape, its winding angle and the part of the rod being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the target fish species. This manufacturing process allows Shimano to adjust these wraps during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength and added twist resistance. In short, Hi-Power X construction delivers sharp and crisp rod control for the angler.


NANOPITCH_RD
NANOPITCH

Shimano’s Nanopitch manufacturing method enables fine-pitch and high-precision wrapping of the molding tape during the blank baking process. Nanopitch technology tightens the tape to the extreme and provides uniform pressure, increasing the circularity of the rod and ultimately improving overall rod strength.

ULTIMATEBLANKSDESIGN_RD
ULTIMATE BLANKS DESIGN

Ultimate Blank Design is a design technology that carefully selects the target material from over 100 different types and places it in place in each section of the tip, belly, and butt of a blank. All material is in it's right place to realize the ideal rod action condition. It is a new design structure that realizes weight reduction while maintaining strength and power.

HI-POWERXSOLID_RD
HI-POWER X SOLID

The flexible solid tip is reinforced with ultra fine carbon tape. This reinforcement suppresses power loss due to twisting without hindering the delicate bending of the solid tip. Cast accuracy, operability, and sensitivity has been dramatically enhanced by the application of HI-POWER X Solid.
