Kaizen Green - 12FT - 3.5LB

The Korda Kaizen Green 12FT 3.5LB is the true all-rounder within the 12 ft Kaizen Green series. This rod combines enough power for long and accurate casts with a smooth enough action to comfortably fish close to the bank. This makes the 3.5 lb version suitable for a very wide range of carp waters and fishing situations.

The Kaizen Green series was developed as a more affordable alternative to the Kaizen Platinum, but shares many of the same design principles and features. The fast-tapered blank provides a quick tip action, good power transfer during the cast, and enough reserve power when fishing at distance. At the same time, the tip remains forgiving enough to handle short-range carp runs effectively.

All-round 3.5LB action

The 3.5 lb version is designed as the most versatile 12 ft rod within the Kaizen Green series. The blank has enough power to present rigs at long range, yet remains supple enough for fishing and playing fish close in. This means you don’t have to choose between a pure distance rod or a softer all-rounder.

• Suitable for fishing close to the bank
• Suitable for medium and long casts
• Enough power for 4 oz leads
• Good balance between casting power and playing comfort
• Suitable as a general carp rod for a variety of waters

Fast-tapered blank

The Kaizen Green uses a similar fast-tapered profile as the premium Kaizen Platinum series. The taper runs gradually from the handle to the tip, causing the rod to work mainly in the upper section under normal load. When the load increases, more of the powerful lower section of the blank is engaged.

This action provides a high tip speed during casting and supports efficient power transfer. At the same time, the tip has enough flex to absorb sudden runs from fish close in, reducing the risk of losing them.

Casting and line pickup

• Fast tip recovery after the cast
• High tip speed for efficient power transfer
• Designed for accurate casts
• Fast line pickup thanks to the responsive blank
• Plenty of reserve power when extra distance is needed
• Still forgiving during the fight

Sea-Guide TDG guides

The 12 ft Kaizen Green models are fitted with Sea-Guide TDG twin leg/foot guides. These stainless steel guides are designed to combine low weight with a strong and durable construction. The 50 mm starting guide and 16 mm tip guide support free line flow during powerful and long casts.

• Sea-Guide TDG twin leg/foot guides
• Stainless steel construction
• 50 mm starting guide
• 16 mm tip guide
• Lightweight and strong design
• Suitable for intensive carp fishing
• ADAMAN coating for improved wear resistance
• Smooth surface for effortless line guidance

ADAMAN coating

The Sea-Guide TDG guides feature a special ADAMAN coating. According to Korda, this coating is significantly harder than standard stainless steel. This improves wear resistance and creates a smooth surface over which the line can run smoothly during casting.

Japanese shrink wrap handle

The handle of the Kaizen Green 12FT 3.5LB is finished with black Japanese shrink wrap. The butt flares slightly, giving you extra grip during powerful casts and allowing you to pull the rod firmly through the cast.

• Black Japanese shrink wrap
• Flared butt grip for extra hold
• Minimalist finish
• Injection moulded butt cap
• Subtle green Korda logo

Sea-Guide DPS reel seat

The reel is secured with a high-quality Sea-Guide DPS-style reel seat. This reel seat matches the minimalist look of the rod and keeps the carp reel firmly in place during both casting and playing fish.
