Re: New Poison Glorious
Anyone try the 2023 73ML+?
Re: New Poison Glorious
Weighed my Glorious 7'4" XH (14-150g) and it came in at 146g with plastic wrap still on the handle. Great balance as well.
Re: New Poison Glorious
That's an impressive rod weight for the rated power.

Got the 2610 ul/m in yesterday. Always was interested in this one and pulled the trigger when I saw one up for sale. UL soft tip, smoothly transitions into a medium butt. Denoted as XF taper, I feel like that's where the UL tip shuts off. Bends smoothly through the upper mid section. Near full shut off about half way up from the handle. Blank diameter def looks medium at the handle. Haven't fished it yet, just tugged on it at home. Wants to go tip up with a Vanquish 2500 and pinky behind the reel stem.

I too was close to pulling the trigger on that, probably the same saleMike son wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 3:33 pmGot the 2610 ul/m in yesterday.

Re: New Poison Glorious
I check JLS weekly for PG rods because they are the cheapest place to acquire one. This weeks search revealed the 7'H, and for almost $100 cheaper than what I paid from Tackle Haven.
7'H PG $367 ($407 shipped)

Got a chance to fish with the 2610 ul/m today. Got a few winter smallies on the rod. I really like it. Threw about a 6g total neko rig and it fished it great. Rod feels like a sharp feather with the Vanquish. Here is a pic of the rod loaded up in case anyone was interested. There was some chatter on this model a several pages back but idk if anyone ended up getting it.

Could it be a good midstrolling rod for 1/4 and above?
Thanks
Re: New Poison Glorious
1/4oz jigheads? Yes, no problem as long as the plastic isn't huge. I've thrown a 1/4oz drop shot plus 4" flat worm once and it was fine. That tip is really UL so take that into consideration. I've thrown 0.9g heads and hoverstrolled 3" baits like the Flash-J and RV-drift fry and that works too.Fran87 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2024 4:34 pmMike son wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 3:33 pmGot the 2610 ul/m in yesterday.

I actually picked up an UL Poison Adrena with Excite Tip for hover strolling the above baits. That Excite tip really allows you to generate the tip shaking motion easily and without fatigue. Maybe something to consider for you. I plan to midstroll with PG UL/M with 1/16oz heads and 3" and 4" baits when I get a chance, fishing the baits at about 8'-10' depth.

Re: New Poison Glorious
Are the Excite tips just Shimanos wording for Solid tip, or something different?

EXCITE TOP
EXCITE TOP is a special tip that enhances the shake performance of lures and contributes to sensitivity. The tip section is tapered and slightly heavier at the top. This construction expands the swing width of the tip, enabling shaking with an automatic feeling. The movement seen by the eyes, and the sensitivity transmitted to the hands, is greatly improved.

Re: New Poison Glorious
Thanks Dennis. How would you describe it? What's the taper like?
Re: New Poison Glorious
I have 5 PG models including one with Excite Top, 264sul+. it's definitely much easier for constant shaking with little force, even compared with PG2610L-s which is solid tip. I don't feel difference in sensitivity though, they are all pretty sensitive in my handsdennis_rf wrote: ↑Fri Mar 29, 2024 8:05 amTheir catalog says:Hogsticker2 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 5:43 pmAre the Excite tips just Shimanos wording for Solid tip, or something different?
