Korda Marker Float is a bright, stable marker float built for clear, reliable marking and easy spotting at distance. Built to withstand long casts and rough handling, it gives true feedback on landing and drag so you know exactly what’s below the surface.
High-visibility colour: Bright colour for easy spotting at distance, across water, weed beds, and in varying light.
Stable on the water: Sits well on the surface and shows when your marker rig lands and drags, giving true feedback about bottom type.
Rugged, durable construction: Robust enough to resist knocks and landings, designed for repeated use across long marker sessions.
Streamlined shape for long casts: Shape reduces air resistance for long, stable casts and quicker, repeatable setups.
Low profile on the water: Low profile minimises wind drift, helping you keep marks accurate in breezy conditions.
Wide compatibility: Works with a wide range of marker rigs and leads, making it versatile with existing tackle.
User-friendly design: Easy to attach and read, suitable for anglers at all levels and across different rigs.
The marker float helps you find features such as weed, silt and gravel and lets you place bait with confidence. It saves time by avoiding false marks and is easy to use for anglers at all levels. Attach to your marker rig and cast to the suspected area. Watch the float as it lands and settles; changes in its movement point to weed, silt or gravel. Mark spots where the float shows a change or snags, then repeat casts to confirm features before baiting. For longer sessions, carry spares; they take knocks during long marker casts. After use, rinse and dry to prolong life, inspect for cracks or wear after heavy use, and store in a float pouch or secure compartment. The Korda Marker Float is a straightforward, dependable tool for marker work that gives stable, visible feedback and helps you mark features quickly and with confidence.
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.
Korda Basix Mainline Camo Green 1000m is a discreet, versatile mainline for anglers who want stealth plus reliability. The camo green finish helps it blend into the water and surrounding scenery.
Length: 1000m spool
Colour: Camo Green
Line range: Basix Mainline
The camouflage finish helps keep rigs discreet, aiding natural bait presentation. With 1000m on the spool, you’ll have plenty of line to cover multiple swims or seasons without constant re-spooling.
Korda Bait FLOSS Extra Strong Unscented 30m is a tough, invisible thread for securing buoyant hookbaits on your rig. If you want a natural look and a dependable hold for pop-ups and wafters, this unscented floss is built to perform in a range of conditions.
Length: 30m
Version: Unscented – no added aromas to preserve the bait’s natural scent
Strength: Extra strong and resistant to fraying for a secure tie on buoyant baits
Presentation: Invisible when tied, helping you maintain a natural bait look
Versatility: Suitable for securing pop-ups, wafters, and other buoyant baits on a wide range of rigs
How to Use: Pass through the loop on your rig, tie the bait securely onto the rig ring or micro swivel, trim the excess, and melt the ends with a lighter to lock in place (unscented version)
Secure and reliable: both versions provide a strong, non-fraying hold, keeping your bait in the right place during casting and while it’s in the water. The extra strength of the floss helps prevent slippage even on longer casts or when you’re dealing with a determined bite. Because this is the unscented option, you won’t alter the bait’s natural scent, which can be a plus in waters where fish are wary of unusual odours. The invisible finish means your presentation stays clean and natural, reducing the chance that the rig spooks fish on approach.

The Korda THERMACORE Pillow Large is a large pillow from a fishing-focused brand, built for comfort during long sessions by the water. It’s a simple, dependable rest point for anglers between casts when you want to stay comfy and focused on the next bite.
Brand: Korda
Model: THERMACORE
Type: Pillow
Size: Large
When you’re perched on the bank or on a boat, comfort isn’t a luxury—it’s part of your kit. The THERMACORE Pillow Large gives you a stable resting surface that supports your head and neck, helping you hold a natural posture so you can stay alert for the telltale signs of a bite. The larger size means more surface area, which can make a real difference if you’re tall, or if you prefer a looser, relaxed position between runs to the rod. A comfortable nap can refresh your senses, sharpen your focus, and help you recover from a long day of casting, knot-tying, and line management, so you can be ready to swing back into the action when the line tightens. In practical terms, you can place the pillow on your chair, bivvy seat, or deck and adjust your angle for neck support that reduces strain after hours spent scanning water for signs of feeding fish. The straightforward design also helps you set up quickly—no fiddling with complicated cushions between bites—which means less time wrestling gear and more time enjoying the session. While this description cannot cover every fabric or filling detail, the pillow’s function is clear: provide a comfortable, consistent resting point that travels well in your gear bag and stays handy when the session goes long and the water stays patient. For anglers who value reliable comfort as part of their routine, this pillow can be a small but meaningful upgrade to your camp kit, helping you stay relaxed on late-evening sessions and on bright dawns when the bank is cold and the wind is up. In the end, the Korda THERMACORE Pillow Large is about taking care of your body so you can keep your eye on the prize—tight lines and a steady rhythm as the day unfolds.
Korda Ready Rigs Spinner Rig is a ready-made, anti-tangle spinner rig designed for anglers who want speed, simplicity and reliable presentation on the bank. It’s ideal for busy sessions or new anglers who want more time fishing and less time rigging.
Ready-made and pre-tied: Supplied ready-to-fish from the pack, so you can get straight to casting without knot tying or rig setup. Excellent for quick swaps between spots or when you’re tight for time.
Spinner arm to reduce tangles: Boom or spinner arm setup helps keep the mainline away from the hook range, cutting down tangles during casts and when the rig lands in weed or snags.
Hook presentation kept separate: The spinner layout separates the hook from the mainline, promoting neat presentations and improving chances of a clean hook exposure on the take.
Low-bulk finish: Designed with a low-bulk finish for a natural look in the water, helping entice bites while still remaining streamlined for easy casts.
Sharp hooklink and tidy setup: Features a sharp hook and a tidy hooklink to support confident hookups and consistent performance across sessions.

Who it suits: Anglers who value speed, simplicity and dependable presentations; particularly handy for busy sessions or anglers newer to rigging who want to learn on the bank.
Instant deployment with consistent performance is the core appeal. The Ready Rigs Spinner Rig helps you get on the water fast while maintaining a tidy, effective setup. With its anti-tangle design and spinner arm, you’ll spend less time re-rigging and more time fishing, increasing your chances of a smooth, repeated hookup each cast. The separation between the hook and mainline not only aids neatness but also improves hook exposure, contributing to more natural presentations and stronger strike responses.
Korda Popup & Sinking Corn gives you two bait formats in one trusted brand. It’s designed for anglers who want flexibility on the bank, with the full range available to choose from.
Format options: Popup and Sinking corn variants for different depths and presentations.

Korda Hook Beads are a compact fishing accessory designed for anglers who value tidy rigs and reliable bait presentation. Simple, small, and essential for many rigs, they help you fine‑tune spacing and protection on the bank.
Brand: Korda
Product Type: Hook Beads
Usage: Helps position and protect rigs by spacing the bait from the hook
With Korda Hook Beads, you gain control over rig geometry from bank to boat. They sit snug on the line, protecting knots where the bead meets the hook. The beads act as spacers that set how far your bait sits from the hook, which affects how a fish bites and how the hook sits in the mouth. In practice, a small bead can turn a fiddly rig into something solid that casts consistently and resists tangling. They’re quick to thread on and easy to adjust on the bank, which matters when the weather changes and you’re keen to get a bite. For new anglers, beads offer a straightforward way to learn rig construction and spacing. For seasoned pros, they provide a reliable, low‑profile option usable on a range of hook sizes and rigs, including hair rigs and pop-ups. The lightweight design means minimal impact on casting distance while still delivering the bead’s effect on presentation. In damp or frosty weather, the beads stay put, resisting movement that could shift your rig off target. They also offer a protective shield on the knot and line where the bead sits, extending the life of your rig. In practical sessions, you’ll notice a smoother drop and more predictable dipping of the bait, helping you read the water and act quickly when a bite comes. The beads can act as a visual cue for your own rig setup, helping you check spacing in seconds while you scan the swim for signs. They’re small enough to stay out of the fish’s view yet visible enough to keep you on top of setup adjustments. Storage is simple; in your tackle box they stay tidy, ready to slide onto the line when the moment calls. The simplicity of a bead belies its usefulness: it is a quiet, effective tool that complements beads, boilies, and hair rigs without adding bulk. For the bank-based angler, this means fewer loose ends and less time spent retying when the wind picks up. The result is more time fishing and less time fussing, with a rig that behaves consistently from first cast to the very last take. If you’re building a new rig or refining an existing one, Korda Hook Beads are a dependable, low-cost addition that can pay dividends when the fish move in. In short, they’re a straightforward way to lock in spacing, protect knots, and keep presentation tight.
