Thanks for watching!!

Thank you for your honest review! Good Job. I really do appreaciate it. Greetings from Germany

That's a super awesome rod you've got there. I've always wanted to own one of these, spinning or casting but to no avail. They are so rare. You're so lucky, my man! 😮

That’ll be a cool review. Looking forward to that one.

Can’t wait for that rod comparison video!

Great BOUGIE gear! You have great taste in fishing gear. Loved the Exist on the Poison rod! If it looks great and works great I don't care if brands are mixed.. I'll have to pick up that 7' med Poison Ultima by the end of the year.

I’d be curious to compare it to just an expride 7’0 medium as well lol. Sweet looking though.

Where's the Ultima review at?

holy geezz. crazy combo. have my eyes on this combo as well, but havn't pulled the trigger yet

Finally you got an Exist!

Great, now I have two halves of a sleeve i can lose! Now not only will i be mad at myself for losing it but I'll be constantly reminded by the other half i didn't lose. That said, psyched to get my hands on one.

I got the Ultima 7'0 ML a week after iCast... been smashing them on a dropshot ever since. I put a 2500 Stella on it with 11lb Defier braid for now, but might go back to 23 Vanquish 2500 You have to retrain your brain, but make sure to keep your finger off the blank. Let the resonator chamber do it's job... the bites feel weird on this rod, but you don't miss them at all.

Does the resonator really work. I picked up the exact same combo as the one in the video and have yet to test it out. I noticed that when I first grabbed it I would choke up on the rod when holding it. Just curious if the resonating chamber in the but of the rod really works…

I watched Matt's video on the core swim bait hooks and decided to give them a try. Love Matt but the hooks not so much. I am hooked on the Shimano rods after many years of using ST. Croix. I love the St. Croix rods but am liking the Exprides and Poison Adrena's more. Not sure if I can justify the added price of the Ultima's. You will have to let us know what your thoughts are once you get some time on the water with it.

Super nice Shimano rod. I will definitely use the Shimano Exsence A wheel on that rod. It has a very light rotor and no mag seal bearing which gives resistance....I myself recently ordered "Daiwa 23 Steez Real Control RC S68MH-SV" which weighs only 84 Grams ( 2.96 OZ )

Just bought the exact same combo yesterday

We will need an update when a review on that rod! That handle actually looks really neat. I'd say its near to impossible getting that here in sweden..

Need a Shimano Expride review. Casting 7 3 and I thought I saw you punching with a longer model as well?

Curado mgl 150 or daiwa tatula sv 103.for casting 4 gm to 18 gm which one is best?

what makes you want to grab the m instead of the ml?? I'm leaning towards the ml but i dont know if i want to throw almost $900 for a rod that doesnt have lifetime warranty. that's my reason why i havent pull the trigger yet

Bro, I literally thought you were playing a joke and unsleeving a $99 Daiwa Tatula Xt at first! You're also welcome for not being able to unsee this now🤣

Next time!

Hello! Please tell me, do you see a big difference between new Shimano Expride 22 and Shimano Poison Adrena rods? Is it possible to say that Shimano Poison Adrena will be much better because of more technologies in it? Or maybe they have the same blanks and main difference in the design? It's hard to choose one of them. I want to buy 1610M - both series have this model. Does it make sense to overpay for Adrena?

I would like to see your thoughts of this rod how it compares to Shamino Expride B 7’ Medium

Where is the balance point of the ultima with the 3000 exsence or exist?

What brand, model scale do you use to weigh your rods and reels, etc... Thanks.

Do you know what rod is lighter than any of the rods you mentioned? Phenix feather

The Epitome rod by Edge rods is a 7'2 spinning that weights in at 2.9oz for $500. With recoil guides. I'll take that all day

Have you seen the MB Orochi X10 lineup. They look decent and the price is great too. That Exist is a 800$ -ish reel??😮

Great vids. Could you put a video together or just comment on comparing best jig/bottom contact rods Med or med heavy spinning and casting at each price point $99, $199, $299, $399. Seems a jig and worm rod is where money needs to be spent to get a sensitive rod. Thanks for the great content.

Update video on the ultima?

I think FishTheMoment did a video a while back on those Core jigheads. If I remember, he was sort of fishing it like a big hair jig and letting it sink, reeling fast, sink, reel fast, etc.

Made the mistake of buying a Exist 3k-H... Now, I wanna use it for everything now.

You should check out the JDM Vanquish. I have liked it better than the Stella and Exist. Sweet stuff though.

Alright, I need a review of the rods before i pull the trigger!!

Any updates on the Shimano rod? I’m thinking about getting the 6’10 Medium, for: jerkbaits, top water, and soft plastics. I would love to see what you thought of it.

I used it a lot this fall but I still need more time with it in the spring to give it a full review. I really can't suggest spending this kinda $$ on one of these. It's not THAT good.

Review!😂 thinking about pulling trigger on this or conquest 842s

I thought the rod had Fugi Torzite in the middle, that's what the Shimano folks were saying at iCast.

I own both the expride and adrena in 7ft medium so let us know if the ultima is as versatile.

@@user-rs9nf7zc1z Honestly I like the Adrena a lot more the handle where you hold is monocoque vs the Expride A where it is cork but if it's the expride B then I don't really know for sure about the handle but it looks like it's still a cork handle. There is a difference in sensitivity though I've felt fish bump on a slack mono line and even the scales of a carp scraping the line for the Adrena. They are both only a hundred dollars apart so you save or lose just about that much.
