Tackle Week 2015: The Year’s Best New Rods and Reels

Best High-Tech Freshwater Rods

Poison Adrena Rods

The alliance between Japan’s Shimano and Jackall has resulted in several premium fishing products, but none more impressive than the new Poison Adrena rods. Featuring streamlined CI4 handles and reel seats that fit your hand like a glove, these rods offer amazing sensitivity. But it’s the special carbon tape woven inside and outside the blank that makes the rods so incredibly light and responsive—and incredibly strong. New this year are the 7’ heavy action, 6’ 10″ medium-heavy and my favourite, the 6’ 10″ medium-glass action for fishing lures when you want a more parabolic bend.
