{"product_id":"kaizen-green-12ft-4lb","title":"Kaizen Green - 12FT - 4LB","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Korda Kaizen Green 12FT 4LB is the heaviest 12 ft model within the Kaizen Green series, specially designed for carp anglers who regularly fish at long range. Thanks to the powerful 4 lb test curve, fast taper, and responsive tip, this rod is built to cast heavy leads and rigs with control and precision, even under less favorable conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kaizen Green series was developed as a more affordable alternative to the Kaizen Platinum, yet shares many of the same design principles and action. The blank features a similar fast-tapered profile, allowing the rod to build power quickly during the cast while maintaining enough cushioning in the tip during the fight. This makes the 12FT 4LB especially suitable for anglers consistently fishing distances of around 80 to 130 or 140 yards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures of Kaizen Green - 12FT - 4LB\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMost powerful 12 ft model in the Kaizen Green series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 lb test curve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for long-range fishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for accurate casting with heavier leads and rigs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast-tapered blank profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast tip action for high casting speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood power transfer during the cast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdequate cushioning in the tip during fish fights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAction based on the Kaizen Platinum series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt with a more affordable carbon quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight and balanced feel in hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeveloped for use on large inland waters and European lakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for anglers frequently fishing 80 to 130\/140 yards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimalist custom-built look\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatte low-glare blank finish\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 grip for extra hold 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 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\u003eDesigned for long distances\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 12FT 4LB is intended for anglers who often fish at greater distances and want sufficient reserve power.

This causes the rod to bend primarily in the tip section initially, with the heavier part of the blank only engaging under greater load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis action allows the rod to build power quickly during the cast while remaining forgiving during the fish fight. The tip can absorb sudden short-range runs, while the lower part of the blank retains enough strength for long casts and distance control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSea-Guide TDG guides\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 12 ft models in the Kaizen Green series are equipped with Sea-Guide TDG twin leg\/foot guides.
