A masterpiece that never betrays. ADRENA rises.
"To guide Japan's bass fishing scene to the next level through lightweight evolution," the Poison Adrena seeks a balance of versatile performance and unparalleled lightweight design that excels in any field. Following the Poison Altima and Poison Glorious, the collaboration of JACKALL and SHIMANO delivers the true essence of "full carbon monocoque grip," which enables a high-strength, lightweight construction. The result is a weight reduction of over 10% compared to the previous model of the same type. The spinning model incorporates the X Guide Touch-Free, which improves casting distance and reduces unpleasant sensations. Born from a thorough commitment to practical fishing, the evolution of these rods continues to advance without stopping.
165MH-2 REACTION BITE
A hard tip designed to transmit every input of the lure action with no loss. It seeks a high bottom bump from the first action, aiming to consistently produce even table turns and wide darts. The REACTION BITE design with a regular taper and hard tip contributes to achieving all of these actions.
KEY FEATURE Poison Adrena, chasing "the versatility" has created a lineup that caters to a wide range of fishing styles across various fields. The new categories include "VERSATILE," "BFS," "JIG&WORM," "RADICAL TAPER," "SWIM&BIGBAIT," "HARD BAIT," "SOLID TIP," "POWER SPIN," "SHAKING," and "REACTION BITE," each optimized for specific performance needs. These rods not only deliver exceptional results but also possess the adaptability to perform at their best despite sudden weather changes or rapid lure swaps. This comprehensive lineup allows everyone to experience quality fishing.
Absolute Practical Fishing Focus
The evolution of the carbon monocoque grip is defined by Adrena. The high-quality, adjustable performance is felt by all who handle it. As the second model in the Poison series, Adrena was born from a commitment to practical fishing, and its history has been intertwined with continuous innovation. A key feature of this innovation is the carbon monocoque grip. By removing materials like EVA and cork, which hinder vibration transmission, Adrena ensures superior sensitivity. The 18 Poison Adrena introduced a full carbon monocoque grip, integrated all the way through the reel seat, enhancing clarity of sensitivity. In 2024, the full model change of Poison Adrena adopts an "open-end" design, eliminating the end grip cap to further reduce weight and improve vibration transmission.
Pursuing True Lightness
The 24 Poison Adrena incorporates the concept of "true lightness," successfully reducing the weight of the blanks through new materials. Additionally, the adoption of the new Perfection Seat VI reel seat and modifications to the rear grip structure significantly lighten the rod. This drastic reduction in weight enhances comfort and allows for better sensitivity to the movement of the lure, achieving higher performance in real-world fishing. With potential approaching the top-tier models, the 24 Adrena sets a new standard as Shimano’s latest bass rod.
Lightness through "Open-End" Design
The new grip end features an "open-end" design, marking an evolution of the full carbon monocoque grip. By removing the end cap, the rod becomes lighter while maintaining strength with sufficient reinforcement. This results in clearer vibrations being transmitted to the hand, and the removal of the cap further advances the concept of "true lightness."
X-GUIDE Touch-Free for Smooth Line Recovery
In recent bass fishing, spinning tackle with harder lines like fluorocarbon or PE is becoming standard. While these lines offer many benefits for sensitivity and control, they often have difficulty converging smoothly after being cast, leading to issues like reduced casting distance, line damage, and noise. To address this, the Poison Adrena is equipped with the X-GUIDE Touch-Free system. By redesigning the guide frame from the ground up, it allows the line to smoothly converge without touching the guide frame or blank, significantly reducing casting issues and enhancing distance.
Included Fastener for Rod Tool Organization
The included fastener allows for convenient bundling of rods and other tools. If the length is excessive, it can be cut to fit as needed. However, once cut, the functionality of the bag as a whole will be lost.
