Overview

Shimano's flagship Spiral X Core technology blends lightness and increased multi-directional strength in the Poison Ultima rods, while Hi-Power X technology adds blank twist resistance. High-performance and lightweight Shimano X-Guides unlock the full potential of the design for trouble-free, heightened casting performance. Casting models feature Shimano's Full Carbon Monocoque grip, which leverages a full-carbon design and extreme sensitivity. The new handle shape was developed by scientifically analyzing tournament anglers' movement and holding posture to elevate performance. Spinning models feature a Carbon Shell Grip—a lightweight, hollow structure—that enables anglers to detect even the slightest underwater differences as it transmits vibration through the hand. Built to be the pinnacle of performance, the evolution doesn't stop for Poison Ultima.

Carbon Monocoque Grip

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.

CARBONSHELL 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.

DynaBalance

This feature eliminates wobble during the retrieve by counter balancing the rotor to enhance sensitivity and smoothness. By using computer balancing, an approach similar to car tire balancing, we are able to redistribute the rotor weight to create smooth rotation and eliminate vibrations.

Full Carbon Monocoque Grip

The Full Carbon Monocoque Grip is the evolution of the Carbon Monocoque Grip. A high-sensitivity grip made entirely of hollow carbon construction eliminates the use of EVA. This results in a very lightweight construction and enhanced sensitivity. Compared to the normal Carbon Monocoque Grip — which has 30% greater sensitivity over traditional handles — the sensitivity increases by another 28% with the Full Monocoque Grip.

HI-POWER X SOLID

The flexible solid tip is reinforced with ultra fine carbon tape. This reinforcement suppresses power loss due to twisting without hindering the delicate bending of the solid tip. Cast accuracy, operability, and sensitivity has been dramatically enhanced by the application of HI-POWER X Solid.

Hi-Power X

Hi-Power X construction uses diagonally-wrapped carbon tape to form an array of "X" shapes on the rod blank's outermost layer. 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. This manufacturing process allows Shimano to adjust these wraps during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength and added twist resistance. In short, Hi-Power X construction delivers sharp and crisp rod control for the angler.

MUSCLECARBON

MUSCLE CARBON is a high-performance material that reduces the gap between fibers by bundling carbon fibers more dense than normal carbon material, and this dense structure reduces the amount of resin needed to fill the gaps in between the fibers.

Nanopitch

Shimano’s Nanopitch manufacturing method enables fine-pitch and high-precision wrapping of the molding tape during the blank baking process. Nanopitch technology tightens the tape to the extreme and provides uniform pressure, increasing the circularity of the rod and ultimately improving overall rod strength.

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 by high-strength carbon tape with this unique and patented Spiral X construction.

Spiral X

Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano's patented Spiral X construction enhances catching power for anglers. Spiral X construction consists of three layers: a middle layer of vertical fibers as well as inner and outer layers, both comprised of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite directions. By using this carbon tape in place of a conventional horizontal fiber sheet, Spiral X achieves enhanced compression rigidity and increased torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. This in turn facilitates instant power transmission for precise casting and fish fighting.

TAFTEC INFINITY

TAFTEC INFINITY realizes 3 times the winding strength and 5 times the winding amount of our conventional solid tips. It is a high intensity solid tip that surpasses the strength and sensitivity of Taftec α.

TAFTEC

TAFTEC was reconsidering the formulation of the materials and the manufacturing method, the strength of carbon solid tips is drastically improved. Sharp and high sensitivity compared to TAFTEC α, that is the characteristic point.

ULTIMATE BLANKS DESIGN

Ultimate Blank Design is a design technology that carefully selects the target material from over 100 different types and places it in place in each section of the tip, belly, and butt of a blank. All material is in it's right place to realize the ideal rod action condition. It is a new design structure that realizes weight reduction while maintaining strength and power.

X GUIDE

The X guide was born from the viewpoint to bring out the potential of blanks to the full. 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 we have the Aero Titanium X guide which contributes to casting feeling and casting distance. X guide is Shimano's original high performance guide which fused lightness, trouble less, casting performance to higher dimensions.
