Description
The pinnacle of the Poison series, the Poison Ultima brings Shimano's JDM offering to the North American market and generously showcases Shimano's most advanced rod technologies. Shimano's flagship Spiral X Core technology blends lightness and increased multi-directional strength while combining with Hi-Power X technology for added blank twist resistance. High-performance and lightweight Shimano X-Guides draw out the full potential of Poison Ultima's rod design for trouble-free and heightened casting performance. Casting models feature Shimano's Full Carbon Monocoque grip that leverages a full-carbon design while delivering extreme sensitivity and showcasing a new handle shape developed by scientifically analyzing tournament anglers' movement and holding posture to elevate performance. Spinning models feature a Carbon Shell Grip — a lightweight, hollow structure — that enables anglers to determine even the slightest differences underwater as it transmits vibration through the hand. Built to be the pinnacle of performance, the evolution doesn't stop for Poison Ultima.

Technologies:
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.
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.
FULL CARBON MONOQUE GRIP
The Full Carbon Monocoque Grip is the evolution of the Carbon Monocoque Grip. A high-sensitivity grip made entirely of hollow carbon construction eliminates the use of EVA. This results in a very lightweight construction and enhanced sensitivity. Compared to the normal Carbon Monocoque Grip — which has 30% greater sensitivity over traditional handles — the sensitivity increases by another 28% with the Full Monocoque Grip.
CARBON MONOCOQUE GRIP
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.
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.
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
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.
TAFTEC INFINITY
TAFTEC INFINITY realizes 3 times the winding strength 5 times the winding amount of our conventional solid tips. It is a high intensity solid tip that surpasses the strength and sensitivity of Taftec a.
TAFTEC
TAFTEC was reconsidering the formulation of the materials and the manufacturing method, the strength of carbon solid tips is drastically improved. Sharp and high sensitivity compared to TAFTEC a, that is the characteristic point.
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 wind 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.
ULTIMATE BLANKS DESIGN
Ultimate Blanks Design is a design technology that carefully selects the target material from over 100 different types and places it in a place in each selection 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.
C14+ REEL SEAT
CI4 is a Shimano original material reinforced with carbon fiber that is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4 material and is 2.5x more rigid than its predecessor. The use of CI4+ for the reel seat increases sensitivity and reduces weight while also delivering remarkable rigidity for perfect reel fixation and better rod efficiency.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
