The Future is Green! - Korda Kaizen Green Carp Rods

Aesthetically, the Kaizen Green Carp Rods boast a custom-built look with a matte finish, black whippings, and a subtle logo, complemented by durable, sleek guides and a comfortable, secure japanese shrink wrap handle with flared butt.

All models in the Kaizen Green range are equipped with high quality Sea-Guide TDG guides, known for their strength, durability, and light weight. This guides have been designed to offer even greater abrasion resistance and smoother fishing line handling, catering to anglers who demand the highest level of casting performance and reliability when fishing with braided fishing line or thin-diameter monofilament lines.

The perfect rod for those fishing smaller waters and where a longer rod isn’t needed. This rod is also perfect for stalking, whilst still being able to cast a reasonable distance when required and feels responsive when using lighter leads. It is also a perfect option for those new to carp fishing, or for younger anglers who find a 12ft rod cumbersome to use

This carp rod offers a bit more power than the 3lb version and makes it perfect for use both at home on smaller waters, particularly on snaggier or weedy venues, or abroad when fishing using a boat to place your rigs and fight fish from.

This is primarily aimed at anglers fishing for big fish on waters where a boat is being used, and offers all the power that you need, along with the advantages that a shorter rod brings for this type of fishing.

The lightest of the 12ft models in the Kaizen Green range, this is perfect if you are mainly fishing on smaller lakes and need a rod that gives you plenty of feel and is responsive when flicking smaller leads accurately to spots, but will also chuck a fair way if you need it to

This is the real all-rounder amongst the 12ft models, as it is capable of putting a lead a long way when needed, whilst also still being soft enough to fish under your rod tip if you need to.

This is heaviest test curve in a 12ft version and is ideal for those who are consistently fishing at longer ranges, and need to know that they can do so comfortably and accurately whatever the weather conditions.

A longer rod will get you more distance, with practice, but plenty of people aren’t as comfortable with a 13ft rod, and this 12ft 6in. option is a great alternative. Designed for longer range casting, but is also forgiving enough under the rod tip that you don’t have to fear hook pulls.

The most powerful model in the whole range and is suited to regularly fishing at long range, where it will deliver accurate and consistent performance.

Out of the two models of Korda Kaizen Green Spod rods, this is the lighter of the two but is still extremely powerful and capable of putting a loaded Spomb a very long way, and without breaking the bank to do so.

For out and out distance, this is definitely the spod rod to choose and you won’t believe how well it performs for the price, when it comes to hurling large Spombs & Spods towards the horizon and hitting the same spot consistently and accurately.

I’ve been using the Korda Kaizen Green 10ft 3.5lb rods since August 2023 and love them! A 3.5lb test curve on a 10ft rod sounds heavy, but I was looking for rods that can easily deal with reeling in heavy leads on braided fishing line from long distances; that can compete with a big catfish, if I hook one by accident; and can handle big lumps of weed on the line when I have a big carp on.”

“Initially, I was only using the 10ft Greens when rowing out my rigs and playing fish from a boat. Simply because a shorter carp rod is particularly handy from a boat. But later in the season I started fishing for a target fish in a hook and hold situation - just flicking out my rigs with an underarm cast towards some sunken trees. Also in this situation they performed very well and landed me that one special carp safely.”

“The Korda Kaizen Green range represents incredible quality but at an almost unimaginable price point. I’ve been fortunate enough to own a set of pre-production 12ft 3.5lb Greens since the summer of 2023 and have used them almost exclusively ever since.”

“I’ve been impressed by how light, yet responsive, they are, and the matt finish and minimalist styling just oozes class. This is the perfect general purpose rod, well suited to fishing and playing carp in the edge, and effortlessly capable of casting 4oz leads in excess of 100 yards.”

"Due to my casting tuitions and the angling situations I fish in, I have used the 13ft 4lb model of the Korda Kaizen Greens the most.”

“On my casting tuitions this carp rod has been used many times, with casts in excess of 200 yards. Clients have got on really well with the carp rod as it’s not overly stiff to bend, but still transfers energy well at the end of the cast. In fact, it has cast as far, sometimes even further, than rods costing a lot more.”

“I’m really happy with this blank, and it performs way above its price point.”
