Am in the market for a couple of higher end BFS rods and it appears that Shimano/Jackall updated the above JDM-only lines in the 2021/2022 timeframe.  I was able to preorder a Poison Glorious 161L-BFS but the nearest corresponding model in the Poison Ultima line (1610L-BFS) is listed as sold out.  I signed up to get an email notice once the latter comes back in stock.

 

Anyone know how the updated versions compare to the prior versions?  Also, as between the two lines, what's the difference (other than the Ultima is their top-of-line series and is a little more expensive)?  I did note that the the Poison Glorious is a few grams lighter than the similar but longer, corresponding Poison Ultima in the specific BFS versions that I'm looking to buy, but both are just under 3 ounces, which is impressive.

I have this for sale:

Thanks, but I already ordered the Poison Glorious and am OK with waiting on the Poison Ultima - I really like the new carbon monocoque handles.  As for reels, I have a couple of Aldebaran BFS and Steez Air reels, so I'm all set on that front too.
