Shimano 24 Poison Adrena Casting 1611ML/H 611 5-42g 1+1pc The Dual-Face Versatility King

The 2024 Shimano Poison Adrena 1611ML/H is perhaps the most unique and intriguing rod in the entire flagship JDM lineup. At Gerrys Fishing, we refer to this as the Dual-Face rod. The code ML/H signifies a specialized design: a Medium-Light (ML) tip for extreme finesse and lure action, paired with a Heavy (H) butt section for massive hook-setting power and fish-stopping strength.

This 611 1+1 piece (Handle Joint) casting rod offers a staggering casting range of 5-42g, allowing you to switch from a light unweighted soft plastic to a heavy jig or medium swimbait without changing rods. It is the ultimate expression of Shimanos Ultimate Blank Design (UBD) philosophy.

Key Specifications

Core Performance Features

• The ML/H Concept: This rod is engineered to solve a common problem: needing a soft tip to cast and animate small lures, but needing a heavy rod to pull big fish out of cover. The ML tip provides the sensitivity and whip for 5g lures, while the Heavy power kicks in instantly during the strike to move large predators.

• Spiral X Core Strength: To manage such a wide power transition (from ML to H), the blank utilizes Spiral X Core. This ensures the rod doesnt buckle in the middle when casting a 40g lure, providing the torsional rigidity needed for high-performance casting.

• Next-Gen Full Carbon Monocoque: The 2024 handle design acts as a resonance chamber. Because this rod is often used for feel baits like jigs and worms, the hollow carbon handle is essential for transmitting the tiniest peck from a fish directly to the anglers hand.

• 1+1 Piece Architecture: By using a handle joint instead of a mid-joint, the complex taper of the ML/H blank is preserved perfectly. This ensures a seamless power transfer when the rod transitions from the sensitive tip to the powerful backbone during a fight.

• Perfection CI4+ XT Reel Seat: The ergonomic casting seat allows for a palming grip that keeps you comfortable during long sessions and provides a solid foundation for the high-torque hooksets this rod is capable of.

Gerrys Pro Tip: The 1611ML/H is the holy grail for the angler who fishes Cover Finesse. If you are casting small soft plastics into thick reeds or sunken trees for big zander or pike, this rod gives you the finesse to get the bite and the Heavy power to win the battle immediately after.
