Korda - Kaizen Green 10ft 3.5lb C
After the success of our Kaizen rods, we've introduced the more affordable Kaizen Green range. Although it's priced lower than our top-tier Kaizen Platinum, it shares many of the same design features and performance qualities, making high-quality fishing accessible to all. We understand not every angler needs or can afford the Platinum series, so the Kaizen Green is our solution, offering nearly the same performance at a fraction of the cost.
The Kaizen Green range, built with a more cost-effective carbon grade, slightly differs in power transfer and recovery speed during casting but maintains similar action to the Platinum rods. It includes eight fishing rods and two spod rods, all rigorously tested across various fishing conditions by Team Korda anglers. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, indicating the range's quality and performance.
Our 10ft rods, a first for us, are designed for specific scenarios like fishing from the boat and any other situation where you don’t need the length and range of a standard 12ft rod. The range also features spod rods capable of long-distance casting. Aesthetically, the 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 handle.
All models in the Kaizen Green range are equipped with high-quality Sea-Guide TDG guides, known for their strength, durability, and light weight. In Europe, the 10ft rods also come in a version featuring Sea-Guide BXTLSG guides with a ceramic insert. This special variant is designed to offer even greater abrasion resistance and smoother line handling, catering to anglers who demand the highest level of performance and reliability when fishing with braids or thin-diameter lines.
Danny Fairbrass's pride in the Kaizen Green range is evident. He emphasizes the goal of making high-quality fishing gear more affordable, ensuring that more anglers can enjoy the benefits of advanced rod technology. Looking at the Kaizen Green's performance, closely mirroring that of the more expensive Platinum rods but at a more accessible price point, we’ve certainly achieved that goal.
This range proves that quality and affordability can coexist, making great fishing experiences available to a wider audience.
10ft 3.5lb C
The 10ft 3.5lb version 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.
Carl Smith:
“I chose this model as a work horse rod to take anywhere and is tough enough to tolerate the abuse my tackle receives – being taken on aeroplanes and laid in the bottom of boats.”
“I can’t be worried about a reel seat locking up, or ceramics popping out – my tackle needs to be bulletproof, and although they’re carp rods I also use them for sea fishing, chucking big lures around, and deadbaiting for pike too.
“The shorter length and lightweight blank makes this rod ideal for stalking and getting into swims that others can’t. Not to mention that also makes them much easier to deal with when boat fishing – when a hooked fish comes up close to the boat, or for lowering rigs more accurately onto a spot.”
