Reasons to buy

  • Built with a high-modulus carbon blank, which uses Shimano's Spiral X core construction. This gives the rod added strength and fracture resistance, without putting on too much weight

  • Anglers love this rod for finesse techniques, such as weightless wacky's, or light shaky heads - especially with the medium light model
  • Medium power with regular fast action is probably the most 'all-purpose' rod of this series
  • An ultra-light version for those 4lb fanatics!

I got the medium-light and it has become my go-to rod for weightless wacky-rigs and drop shot around heavier cover. Sensitive and light.

Bottom Line

The Poison Adrena is one of Shimano's finest finesse options. This rod is great for throwing those lighter presentations, as the blank is light and extremely sensitive. Many anglers have sworn by this series and have compared it to the likes of the NRX, from G. Loomis. A world-class build, from a world-class brand.
