Took my new Shimano Poison Ultima 66M today. Used 12 lbs Sunline sniper flourocarbon spooled on a ci4 HG. Caught some good fish from 1-6lbs. I'll have pics posted later. As far as the rod goes it is super versitale. Super sensitive when fishing t-rig today. One of those IT rods for me.

So do you feel the Ultima is worth the high price tag?

While I hate spending that kind of cash, I absolutely would buy another if I could. Love the rod! Sensitivity is fantastic, fast action has some backbone for a medium( dragged a 3 pound bass over a bush yesterday), and rod really feels like it can handle any lure in its weight range. Quality is unlike any other rod I have ever owned. I want 4 of these. Lol!!!
