Kaizen Platinum 12ft 3.5lb Test Curve Rod – The Ultimate All-Rounder If you’re after a rod that can do it all, the Kaizen Platinum 12ft 3.5lb test curve rod is the one for you. Designed for versatility, this rod can handle everything from delicate flicks on small, intimate venues to blasting a rig over 35 wraps on a big, open water like Gigantica. Whether you’re stalking fish in the margins or sending a lead way out into the horizon, this high-end, lightweight, and perfectly balanced blank is built to deliver. Danny Fairbrass on the Kaizen Platinum 12ft 3.5lb: “I’ve been using a heavier version during field testing, but it’s nice to go back to the 12ft 3.5lb rods as they are the all-rounders. If you want to fish anywhere from one yard to 140 yards, with pinpoint accuracy, then these are the ones.” The Kaizen Journey – Designed for Performance The Kaizen rod range has been in development for over four years, and it all started with a simple idea: to create high-end rods that outperform anything currently on the market. Despite being Korda’s first foray into rod manufacturing, we pulled together the best minds in the business, including our Team Korda anglers and product development specialists, to create something truly exceptional. Danny Fairbrass has been involved in rod design for years, working on some of the most well-regarded models on the market. It was a natural progression for Korda to create its own premium range, tailored to the exact specifications that he and our anglers demand. The goal was simple: a collection of top-tier rods that excel in every carp fishing scenario, whether you’re casting to the horizon or playing a fish at close quarters. What Makes the Kaizen Platinum Special? Tapered to Perfection All Kaizen rods are built on a fast-tapered profile mandrel, meaning the blank has a continuous taper from butt to tip. This gives them a ‘tippy’ action, with most of the flex concentrated at the tip end. When you’re putting in a powerful cast, the rod will bend all the way through, but the real benefit is in power transfer—faster tip speeds and longer casts with minimal effort. This taper also means quicker line pick-up, essential for setting the hook at range. And when you’re playing a big fish close in, the progressive power transfer helps cushion those last-minute lunges, reducing the risk of hook pulls. You get the best of both worlds—power when you need it and finesse when it matters most. Superior Japanese Carbon – Lightweight and Powerful The backbone of the Kaizen Platinum rods is a super tensile, high-grade Japanese carbon known as ZERO90. This carbon is used in just two layers with minimal resin, resulting in an incredibly lightweight yet ultra-responsive blank. This means: Effortless casting – More power goes into your cast without unnecessary strain. Pinpoint accuracy – Less blank twist means straighter, more controlled casts. Instant tip recovery – The rod stops bouncing almost immediately after casting, ensuring your rig lands precisely where you aimed. Over long distances, even small improvements in accuracy make a huge difference. These rods give you that extra edge. Built to Last Durability is key, and the Kaizen Platinum rods don’t disappoint. The blank is coated with a clear matt finish that not only looks stunning but also withstands years of exposure to sunlight and moisture. Each rod has been rigorously tank-tested to ensure longevity. Premium Components for a Custom Feel No compromises were made when it came to fittings. Every Kaizen Platinum rod is equipped with: Sea-Guide TDG lightweight rings – A 50mm butt ring and a 16mm tip ring, designed to reduce friction and allow leader knots to pass through smoothly. Fuji DPS reel seat – Securely holds your reel in place, offering comfort and stability. Japanese shrink grip handle – Provides a solid grip, even in wet conditions. JAG-etched aluminium butt cap and trim – A touch of class to complete the look. Choosing the Right Kaizen Model The Kaizen range offers a variety of models to suit every angling situation: 12ft 3lb, 3.5lb, and 4lb fishing rods – Covering everything from close-range work to long-range casting. 12ft spod rod – Designed for accuracy and distance when baiting up. 12ft 6in 4lb – The perfect alternative to a 13ft rod if you want extreme range without the extra length. 13ft 3.5lb and 4lb – The go-to rods for those looking to hit serious distances. For long-range anglers, the 4lb models are a game-changer. With the right technique, these rods can put a lead beyond 200 yards, as demonstrated by casting experts Terry Edmonds and Darrell Peck. They even feature in our upcoming Long Range Masterclass filmed at Iles3 in France. Danny Fairbrass on the Kaizen Platinum Rods: “They are an absolute joy to use. So lightweight, yet powerful, with really light rings that let them move through the air effortlessly. They cast perfectly straight and look absolutely gorgeous as well.” The Verdict No matter your style or ability, there’s a Kaizen rod that will help you fish more accurately and at greater distances than ever before. Combining cutting-edge materials with expert design, these rods represent the pinnacle of carp fishing performance. If you’re serious about your fishing and want a rod that can handle anything, the Kaizen Platinum is the ultimate choice. Whether you’re looking for an all-rounder or a specialist long-range tool, this range has you covered. Experience the Kaizen difference – where precision meets performance.
