Shimano Poison Ultima 7'' Medium Light Spinning Rod PU270ML

The Shimano Poison Ultima Spinning Rod has been updated with new specifications for the North American market. This is the first update since the pinnacle of the Poison series was introduced in 2014. The spinning models now feature advanced Shimano rod technology to enhance their performance. One major change is the new shape of the full carbon monocoque grip on Poison Ultima Rods. The pull trigger has been relocated to the rear grip, which improves stability during operation and holdability during casting.

The Shimano Poison Ultima Spinning Rod is a high-performance fishing rod that boasts a fusion of Spiral X core, Hi-Power X, and the new UBD (Ultimate Blanks Design) technologies. These technologies make the rod lighter, while still maintaining its sensitivity and operability. The modernized design of the Shimano Poison Ultima Spinning Rod is not only sophisticated but also beautiful, making it a new legend in the world of fishing.

• CI4+
  • CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4. This highly technical carbon material maintains 2.5 times more rigidity than CI4. While improving lightness and rigidity, the body and rotor are further reduced in size and weight.
• 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.
• Carbon Shell 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-Power X
  • In Hi-Power X construction, the blank’s outermost layer is diagonally wrapped with carbon tape, which forms an array of "X" shapes. 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. The flexibility allows Shimano to adjust these wraps during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength, and added twist resistance. Hi-Power X construction delivers sharp and crisp rod control by the angler.
• 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 high-strength carbon tape with this unique and patented Spiral X construction.
• X Guide
  • 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, the Aero Titanium X guide contributes to casting feeling and casting distance. X guide is Shimano's original high-performance guide which fused lightness, and troubleless casting performance to higher dimensions.
