Overview
Bridging the gap between a traditional cork-handled bass rod and the ultra-sensitive feel of a true JDM build, the Shimano Poison Glorious Casting Rods deliver a refined middle ground with technique-specific rods engineered for precise on-the-water performance. Tuned for peak performance through a combination of Shimano's Ultimate Blanks Design (UBD), Spiral X Core, and Hi-Power X, which allows for strategically positioned carbon materials throughout the blank to optimize sensitivity, strength, and balance for each rod model.
Starting at the rear grip and into the reel seat, Shimano debuts Fusion Grip Technology, which features a thin cork grip spread onto a carbon monocoque grip and a hollow carbon structure that transmits vibration directly to the angler's hand. From there, a CI4+ reel seat is utilized for a lightweight reel-to-rod connection. From versatile power fishing techniques to technique-specific rod model options, the Shimano Poison Glorious Casting Rods bring elevated sensitivity and refined balance to every presentation.
