That's fine, looks cool, but again...where are the 7' - 7'2 ML - M spinners? Which Poison Adrena to throw small swimbaits and wacky rigs? Hopefully they plug that gap seeing as these rods are flying off the shelves (though I bet not the 6'11MH lol)

Is it weird that I want that power finesse rod after reading that?
Re: New Poison Adrena
Which adrena would be best for 3/16- 3/8oz jig/trigs but could also throw 1/4-3/8 swim jigs well.
Re: New Poison Adrena
Exactly what I throw with my 6'11M+ along with weightless soft plastics and some topwaters. Been really enjoying this rod, but i like it best with 1/4 jigs (swimming or casting).
Re: New Poison Adrena
Same here, I see the 611m+ as close to the ideal 1/4oz jig rod. I also use it for 3/16 t-rigs/shakyheads and weightless Trickworms. Before I got it I used a 783c for the same presentations and the PA has almost completely pushed it out of service.
Re: New Poison Adrena
I’ve noticed you sold your 7’2h and 6’7 spinning rod. All done hyping them up?

Re: New Poison Adrena
The poison rods are awesome but for some reason I'm not a fan of the handle. I have the 6'-11" MH spinner. Locking nut seems to come loose a lot.

Re: New Poison Adrena
I've been fishing with the 6'7" Medium Light Poison Adrena. It has a great versatile action. I found it excels for smallmouth fishing using hair jigs, spybaits, Small keitech impacts. I've used it for dropshoting, mini tubes, ned rigs and its a great all around rod and sensitive but for the bottom contact baits I swear by NRX. Fun rod, has a unique short handle, making it easy to manage and the grips feel great in hand. It may seem light but handles smallies well.

Re: New Poison Adrena
I had the 6’11” M+ and absolutely loved it till I broke it pulling a fish onto the bank. Bass was only like 1.5 lbs! I babied that rod and I know it wasn’t cracked for any reason so I’m guessing defect but it’s not in warranty anymore I don’t think. Got an NRX to ease my pain and now I have 3 lol. The PA was so versatile though. Jerkbaits topwater jigs swimbaits and plastics all no problem. Still wish it was in one piece but I think my 843c NRX MBR is a good replacement

Re: New Poison Adrena
Even if your PA is out of the 1 yr warranty check our Shimano's warranty page. You can get a new rod at 50% off retail. I've done this a couple times and its an easy process.

Re: New Poison Adrena
Thanks for the tip I will definitely be checking on this!
Re: New Poison Adrena
Can anyone tell me how much a 6.11 M+ weighs?

Re: New Poison Adrena
Not much mention on guides in this thread so far.
Was just curious about their size and if anyone is using braid to leader on the casting rods.
