Korda Kaizen Green Carp Rod

The Korda Kaizen Green Rods are crafted to meet the diverse needs of modern anglers, offering two high performance options: a 3lb and a 3.5lb model. Both rods share exceptional craftsmanship and are built to handle a wide range of fishing situations, from smaller lakes to more expansive waters. Featuring a sleek, minimalist design with subtle green accents, these rods combine strength, durability, and style for an unbeatable fishing experience.

The 12ft 3lb Model stands as the lightest option in this versatile range. It proves ideal for anglers who frequent smaller lakes or prefer more precise, delicate setups. Its responsive action ensures accurate casting when using lighter leads, while still providing the necessary power for longer distances. This model offers a perfect balance between sensitivity and performance, allowing you to feel every subtle movement yet retain the muscle to cast further when needed.

For those seeking an all round performer, the 12ft 3.5lb Model excels, designed to meet the demands of anglers requiring long distance casting without sacrificing finesse. Whether you are targeting larger waters or need serious power for casting heavy leads, this rod rises to the task. Despite its formidable power, it maintains enough softness to handle close quarter fishing directly under the rod tip, offering remarkable versatility for various angling techniques.

New to the collection, the 10ft 3lb (Ceramic) Model brings high performance to shorter rod fishing. Originally made for European anglers tackling vast waters from boats, where fishing with braid demands the ultimate in abrasion resistance, this ceramic guide version is now available for the UK market. It boasts a superb playing action and is perfect for stalking, yet it can still cast a reasonable distance when required and feels highly responsive with lighter leads. This model also offers an excellent entry point for those new to carp fishing, or for younger anglers who might find longer 12ft rods cumbersome.

All rods in the Kaizen Green range feature Sea Guide TDG twin leg/foot stainless steel guides, ensuring smooth line flow and top notch durability. The 12ft and 13ft models boast a 50mm butt ring and 16mm tip guide, while the 10ft model is equipped with a 40mm butt ring and 12mm tip guide. These guides feature a special ADAMAN coating, which is ten times tougher than stainless steel, ensuring smoother line passage and improved abrasion resistance. The 10ft models also offer an option with Sea Guide BXTLSG guides, featuring a ceramic insert for even greater abrasion resistance, ideal for heavy braided lines and added resilience against damage in a boat.

Built from lightweight yet durable carbon materials, the rods are designed for long lasting performance. They also come with a Sea Guide DPS style reel seat for secure reel placement and black Japanese shrink wrap grips for comfort and control. The flared end to the butt grip provides added stability during casts, making these rods a pleasure for any angler to wield.

With their low glare, matt finish and subtle green logo, the Kaizen Green rods not only perform flawlessly but also present a custom built, minimalist aesthetic on the bank. They represent Danny Fairbrass’s vision to bring high performance, affordable rods to a wider audience, sharing many attributes with the flagship Kaizen Platinum rods. Their fast tapered profile creates a ‘tippy’ action, improving power transfer for longer casts and quicker line pick up, while still offering enough give to absorb lunges from a fish at close quarters.

Whether you are a fan of smaller venues, prefer to fish on expansive lakes, or need a compact yet powerful tool for boat work, these rods deliver versatility, power, and precision in one sleek package.
