Shimano Poison Glorious Casting
Bridging the gap between an ultra-comfortable, traditional full or split-grip cork handled bass rod and the lightweight, ultra-sensitive feel of a true JDM build, the Shimano Poison Glorious Casting lineup delivers a refined middle ground. Seven technique-specific models are engineered for precise on-the-water performance, catering to diverse fishing applications.
From versatile power fishing to a dedicated swimbait model featuring a full cork handle for added leverage when launching big baits, Poison Glorious brings elevated sensitivity and refined balance to every presentation.
FusionGrip Technology
Starting at the rear grip and extending into the reel seat, Shimano introduces FusionGrip Technology to the U.S. market. This technology features a thin cork grip spread over a Carbon Monocoque grip—a hollow carbon structure that transmits vibration efficiently for improved sensitivity and balance.
