The Shimano Poison Adrena Rods seek to set a new standard in high-performance bass fishing rods. The Poison Adrena brings together a slew of proprietary Shimano technologies that together provide the ultimate blend of strength sensitivity and functionality. The first thing anglers will notice when p...icking these rods up is their remarkably light weight. This is in part thanks to a brand new Spiral X Core blank construction that utilizes multiple layers of material wound in a criss-crossing diagonal pattern to increase strength while using less material than standard blank construction does. This blank construction process helps eliminate blank twist for better casting distance and accuracy.The introduction of Shimanos full carbon monocoque handle not only helps to keep the rod incredibly light but also significantly enhances sensitivity. The monocoque handle is seamlessly integrated with the blank allowing even the slightest vibrations to transmit from the rod tip down through the blank and into your hands without skipping a beat. The Poison Adrena features a Perfection XT CI4+ reel seat ergonomically designed for superior comfort during those long days of continuous casting while out on the water. Shimano rounds out the design with Fuji Stainless Steel SiC-S K-Type guides plus a Titanium SiC tip. Built to appease the most demanding tournament anglers and the most discerning tackle enthusiasts the Poison Adrena will redefine your ideas of what a high-performance bass fishing rod is capable of.

Best rod I’ve ever owned
Super light and very sensitive
Super sensitive!!
Awesome bottom contact rod. Very light and very sensitive!
By far my most sensitive rod I own!!
Simply amazing
Lightest rod ever used with plenty of backbone for hook setting
Almost perfect
Very light weight and yet have plenty of backbone. Only drawback was the lack of a hook keeper and the grip is a bit small even for someone with small hands. Will be on the short list for my second rod.
Bang for your buck rod
Extremely light and super sensitive. Definitely worth more than one the price!
Excellent Rod
For the price point the sensitivity and weight are extremely competitive.
DEADLY!!
It literally feels like a weapon!! I feel like Im cheating!!
Incredible light cover frog rod.
Light yet all the backbone needed for a good hookset on bass when frogging light cover. Walks even small frogs without overpowering them. Now my go to for fishing top water over light grass or around cattails.
Fantastic rod!
Very sensitive rod you can really feel those fish biting with this rod. Hands down the most sensitive rod I have ever owned. Definitely my favorite rod in my arsenal.
The poison adrena rods are extremely light, couldn't find weight specs on the Phenix rod but here is a link to Shimano for the weights on the adrena rods
<span style="font-size:11pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:rgb(17,17,17);">It can be used fortopwater but glass rods are more suited for cranking. A faster tip would bemore suitable for most topwater lures. </span>
Yes, 3/8oz.-1/2oz. should be right in the sweet spot for this rod's lure ratings.
You are correct. It will have a bit more bend at the end and would do great with swim jigs.
