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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures of Kaizen Green - 12FT - 3.5LB\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVersatile 12 ft all-round carp rod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.5 lb test curve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for both short and long distances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for accurate casting with heavier lead weights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapable of casting 4 oz leads well over 100 yards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast-tapered blank profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast and responsive tip action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood power transfer during the cast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnough damping for playing fish under the rod tip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAction based on the Kaizen Platinum series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight and balanced feel in hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for a variety of waters and fishing styles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtensively tested by Team Korda\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimalist custom-built look\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatte low-glare finish on the blank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack whippings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubtle green Korda logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Japanese shrink wrap handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlared butt for extra grip during powerful casts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInjection moulded butt cap with green Korda logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSea-Guide DPS-style reel seat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSea-Guide TDG twin leg\/foot guides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50 mm starting guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 mm tip guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAll-round 3.5LB action\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3.5 lb version is designed as the most versatile 12 ft rod within the Kaizen Green 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis action provides a high tip speed during casting and supports efficient power transfer.
