Any Shimano Poison Ultima Review?

Featured Replies

As stated in the title. Any reviews on this rod?

I have one, the MH casting version. Got it 2 months ago. It is a wonderful rod, extremely sensitive, beautiful, well made, just plain feels great to fish. One thing I dont like is a couple days ago, the decorative metal ring around the reel seat nut came loose . The glue bond just gave way. Not what I expected after paying $900 for a top shelf rod. It will be a simple fix, but I should not have to repair it. Sending it to shimano, waiting on them to decide, waiting on the replacement..... not what I want to do in the midst of spring fishing! Easy fix thankfully. I dont regret getting it. It gives my Edge Rods Silver Widows and St. Croix Legend Extreme rods a run for their money. They are all amazing rods. The Silver Widow has the best bang for the buck.  

I mentioned this in an earlier thread.  I'm not a rod expert or have a huge number but have learned that all of the higher end rods are amazing and the ROI really starts to get small after $ 300-400.00.  The PODR really starts to kick in.
