JACKALL/SHIMANO POISON ULTIMA 5-Piece Rod Series
The POISON ULTIMA 5-Piece series is the result of a powerful collaboration between Shimano and Jackall, blending premium craftsmanship and innovative technologies to meet the highest expectations of anglers who demand portability without sacrificing performance. Designed specifically for bass fishing, this series embodies the pinnacle of multi-piece rod engineering, providing exceptional sensitivity, strength, and ease of transport.
Lightweight Portability Meets High-End Performance
One of the defining characteristics of the POISON ULTIMA 5-Piece series is its outstanding portability. Each rod breaks down into five compact sections, making it easy to carry for anglers who travel frequently or need to hike to remote fishing spots. Despite its multi-piece structure, Shimano’s advanced construction techniques ensure seamless action and responsiveness comparable to one-piece rods.
The use of Shimano's proprietary "Infinity Drive" technology in the rod design has drastically reduced blank weight while retaining impressive strength. This allows for an incredibly light feel during use, which minimizes fatigue and enhances control throughout long days on the water.
High-Tension Spiral X Core and Hi-Power X Technology
All rods in the POISON ULTIMA 5-Piece lineup are built using Shimano’s Spiral X Core and Hi-Power X technologies. Spiral X Core utilizes a multi-layer carbon structure with inner and outer spirals that dramatically increase torsional rigidity. This minimizes rod twist during casting and fighting, providing a more direct and accurate transfer of power.
Hi-Power X complements this structure by adding an outermost diagonal carbon tape layer that further enhances strength and casting stability. The combination of both technologies ensures precise lure control, strong hooksets, and accurate casting, all while keeping the rod light and responsive.
Premium Components and Ergonomic Design
The rod’s reel seat is custom-designed to improve both sensitivity and comfort. Shimano has carefully refined the grip shape for each model to suit the intended use and casting style, providing better rod control and reducing hand fatigue.
Each guide is positioned and aligned with absolute precision to maximize casting efficiency and minimize line trouble. The blank is finished with an elegant matte carbon pattern, emphasizing both its visual appeal and premium feel.
Ideal for Travel and Serious Anglers Alike
The POISON ULTIMA 5-Piece rods are not simply portable—they are built to professional standards. These rods are an ideal solution for anglers who frequently travel by plane, train, or on foot, and who refuse to compromise on tackle quality. With their compact size, refined construction, and cutting-edge performance features, these rods represent a breakthrough in high-end, travel-ready bass rods.
Whether you're exploring new fishing grounds or participating in tournaments far from home, the POISON ULTIMA 5-Piece series delivers the confidence and capability of a top-tier bass rod in a packable form.
