Korda Kaizen Green 10ft 3.5lb

The 10ft 3.5lb version is slightly heavier than the 3lb version making it perfect for use on small home waters, especially those with lots of obstacles or weed. This version is also very suitable when placing rigs or drilling fish from a boat. Carl Smith: “I chose this model as a robust all-round rod that can go anywhere and is strong enough to withstand the abuse of my tackle – for example, these rods I take on planes and put on the bottom of boats.” “I don't want to worry about reel seats getting stuck, or ceramics popping out – my tackle needs to be indestructible, and although they are carp rods, I also use them for sea fishing casting large lures, and also for dead bait fishing on pike.” “The shorter length and lightweight blank make this rod ideal for stalking and fishing spots where others can't reach. Not to mention they are also much easier to handle when boat fishing – when a hooked fish comes close to the boat, or for more precise lowering of a rig on a spot.”

Following the success of our Kaizen Platinum rods, we have introduced the more affordable Kaizen Green rods. Although priced lower than our top of the range Kaizen Platinums, Green rods share many of the same design features and performance qualities, making high-quality fishing accessible to everyone. We understand that not every angler needs or can afford the Platinum Series, and for those anglers, the Kaizen Green is our solution. These rods offer almost the same performance at a fraction of the price.

The Kaizen Green range, made with a less expensive grade of carbon, differs slightly in power transfer and recovery speed during the cast, but maintains a similar action to the Platinum rods. This range includes eight fishing rods and two spod rods, all extensively tested under different conditions by Team Korda anglers. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, confirming the quality and performance of this range of rods.

A first for us, our 10ft rods are designed for specific fisheries, such as boat fishing, or any other situation where you don't need the length or casting distance of a 12ft rod. Our new range of rods also includes spod rods that can be used to cast long distances.
Aesthetically, the rods give the impression of being handmade, with a matte finish, black windings and a subtle logo, along with durable, sleek guides and a comfortably sturdy handle.

All models in the Kaizen Green range are equipped with high-quality Sea-Guide TDG guides, known for their strength, durability and lightweight.
In Europe the 10ft rods are also available in a version with Sea-Guide BXTLSG guides with a ceramic insert. This special variant is designed to provide even greater abrasion resistance and to allow the line to pass through the rod eyes more smoothly, especially for anglers who demand the highest level of performance and reliability when fishing with braided or thin diameter lines .

Korda's founder and owner Danny Fairbrass is clearly proud of the Kaizen Green range. He emphasizes Korda's goal to make quality fishing equipment more affordable, so that more anglers can enjoy the benefits of – in this case – advanced fishing technology. When we look at the performance of the more affordable Kaizen Green range, which closely matches that of the more expensive Platinum rods, we have certainly achieved that goal.

This range of rods proves that quality and affordability can go hand in hand, allowing an even wider audience to enjoy unforgettable moments in their fishing.
