The Shimano Poison Glorious Casting Series bridges the comfort of traditional cork-handled bass rods with the featherlight sensitivity of a true JDM build. Seven technique-specific models cover the full spectrum of bass fishing applications, each built around a blank platform combining Ultimate Blanks Design, Spiral X Core, and Hi-Power X — a trio of technologies that work together to optimize sensitivity, resist twist, and fine-tune flex and recovery for each individual model.
Making its U.S. debut, FusionGrip Technology layers thin cork over a Carbon Monocoque core, delivering the familiar feel of a traditional grip with dramatically enhanced vibration transmission. A CI4+ reel seat keeps the rod-to-reel connection lightweight and ultra-rigid, while Shimano X Guide stripper guides and Fuji Ti SiC guides ensure smooth, tangle-resistant line flow on every cast.
