Fishing now the Kaizen Green in 10ft 4lbs a while on the wild and huge reservoirs in France and I've to say for that price I've never a better rod. Well done @KordaTV @KordaGermanyKarpfenangelnTV
They should do 3-3.5 tc. 4 is way too much unless cat fishing maybe or shark or even whale fishing. And why do anglers always have to cast stupid distances when you van catch fish about 10ft out or in the near edge
Got the spod rod, whack it out at 168 yards! Smashing the clip with a 4oz lead! Felt like the rod could give more! Such a amazing rod for the price! ❤️❤️
Superb rods, no doubt, for the money. But no line clip? I hate the clip on ones personally and consider a line clip as essential. Sadly I'll have to give these a miss.
I have now had a waggle with these in a tackle shop. Stunning to look at. Very sexy indeed. Balance feels great too. Great job team korda 💚. Maybe the mk2's will have a line clip just for me...seriously though in 30 years of Carp fishing I've not seen better for the money. Gotta hand it to ya Danny 👏 Bravo
Ive always wondered how much doe noel got for selling off those worm like eye brows...they kinda disappeared around 2002..... funny anough around the same time he got wealthy..... ermm....suspicious
Well done Korda and Danny Fairbrass it's a great effort designing top end rods to cater for those that can't afford the platinums ...Korda for me are far and away the leading tackle company...I am biased as I love everything Korda I am desperate to get my hands on the greens ..well done again D.F and those involved like Terry Edmunds boom ...its the green take over..
Cheers us workers can now afford the greens, the benefit cheats and sick note peeps can afford the platinum rods and fish every other day. Gotta love the U.K.
These look great, really impressive and I like the philosophy of making a “junior” version of the range topper to deliver almost all the performance. My problem is Danny is an excellent angler and would out perform me with a broom handle. What you need to show the advantages of these rods is to make a film of some chump like me struggling to get over 80yrds and no accuracy with their own kit, then give them the Kaizens and some coaching, and have them casting 130yrds with “pinpoint accuracy” later that same afternoon - that’d sell you some rods!
💚💚💚Would love a set of these bad boys don't they just look mint even the net looks mint💚💚💯💯💯💯might have to put my current rods threw some terror to get a new set 😂😂😮absolutely well done Danny now the rod n rig engineer n master I would be very proud of these they are beautiful mate and I bet they fish great well done 💯💯👌💚
Pre ordered these last month. Seen they have been sent out today. Cannot wait to go play with them. Will get to use them at Gigantica in June this year too- can’t wait! Also that new Kaizen net coming out looks decent too!
He's been carp fishing years if he don't know how to make a wicked rod now I'd be very surprised it's not something that can be done lightly cos you know yourself you want the best when it comes to rods I do.
Kaizen need a amphibious barrow in the range, a barrow to carry all your gear but can deploy quickly as a boat. With a outboard, also you can clip a bivvy to the top of it, so you free to explore and kept dry.
Awesome I just bought myself a pair of 10fts for my regular venue, I cannot wait to try them out, I just cannot decide what new reels to buy with them any thoughts please for a small to medium size lakes.
Not sure what the price is yet 🤔 as I have not looked 🤔 but, if Danny has anything to do with it i,know that the rods are going to be absolutely superb, over the years he has put so so much into everything he does. I will be having a look at them, As still have my Daiwa infinity X's 21/4 tc, 12' also a pair of Simpsons of Turnford, 13' slim Jim long ranger's 3Lb TC. Thought, trade in sell 🤔 current 4, for two of these, any thoughts anyone at Korda or Danny or has anyone else changed from there current rods to these ??? Any thoughts advice would be welcome and appreciated. Cheers Les.
Danny should address Darryl continuously breaking rules in France on public lakes in order to bolster his album, very disappointing Korda permits this. Many people have been banned by Darryl on social media for pointing out his blatant bending/breaking of the rules. I will never support anything Darryl has to do with Korda. 20years loyal customer, rod order cancelled. been fun guys.
Having been out on a casting lesson with Terry, we got to all try the rods out pre release. These rods were amazing. We had Harrison treb lites built with torzite guides, free spirit 13ft hi s ive’s, free spirit hi s er, Korda platinums We all cast our furthest casts of the day with the green 13ft 4lb. As we are going jazarki one of us cancelled buying a set of Hi s ‘Ives’ as he could justify the money difference when the green was casting just as far There was some line and reel differences , some had basia’s, some had technium’s old and new versions. So not a complete equal test BUT….we couldn’t believe these rods were competing. No sponsorships or alliances with this comment.
Thanks for the interesting insight. We hope you enjoyed your time with Terry and glad you got to try the Kaizens rods first hand 👍 We appreciate you taking the time to write this comment too. Have a great weekend, tight lines 💚
Congratulations Mr. Fairbrass. & team. Your devotion to carp fishing & development of anglers, affordable tackle is far reaching in excellence. All the best 🙏🎣
This just proves the platinum are way to expensive. With the slightest of changes you can produce a rod which is three times more cheap than the platinum. Sounds like the platinums are a absolute scam!
If these are a lesser carbon than the platinum I wouldn’t fancy them much at all…. I have a video of a platinum which snapped inbetween the whippings of the 50mm butt ring being only 2/3 weeks old. If I could post the video/pictures I would… I’ve never, ever seen a rod snap there in 25 years of carp fishing.
What a shame it doesn't have the alps reel seat otherwise I would have bought 2 kaizen green 12 ft 4 lbs. In this case I am going to buy Daiwa Basia 12ft 4.25 lbs.
i'm going to wait for the independent review videos to come out as only ones i seen so far are from korda employees so far. not hating on Korda I'm sure they are fine rods for the price point and I Use Korda stuff all the time and it never let me down.
Picked up my set of kaizon greens yesterday and I can't wait to use them at linear in a few weeks, any ideas when the landing net will be released please?
I actually got myself a kaizen green spod rod and used it in France two weeks ago and I’m very impressed and this Is someone coming from a free spirit spomb rod user
@gwl78 China are the 2nd best producers of carbon fibre in the world behind Japan, I don't think it really matters, if your worried about quality I wouldn't trust this country or any other 😂 for top dollar. I've seen these rods in the flesh and they look sexy, If I didn't have decent rods already I'd give them a go.
@wayneappleby9366 what the slave labour beats all don't you mean the 3 million Muslims they have locked in concentration camps once China move on Taiwan the fishing industry is dead here it will have to be made somewhere else
Basics range been out a few yrs now . And still good value.. tell me Neil.. over the last couple of yrs , has your food gone up.? Your gas, electricity, water.. ? Diesel, petrol.? Do h expect everything to stay the same price when the manufacturers are having to pay more.???
