Kordas Kaizen Platinum series of top of the range carp rods developed by the team at Korda to offer superb casting performance. Manufactured here in the UK using super high tensile high-grade Japanese carbon. Following extensive testing and research by their own in house team of consultants. The high quality blanks are outfitted with premium lightweight Seaguide TDG guides and a Fuji DPS reel seat. With every rod in the range coming with 50mm butt rings and an 18mm tip ring. They come available in test curves right up to a heavy duty 4lb edition ideal for big fish continental work.

The Kaizen Platinum 12ft 3.5lb test curve rod is the perfect all-rounder and the best option for carp anglers who want as much versatility as possible from just one set of rods. The lightweight, perfectly balanced, blank can accommodate the most delicate of precision flicks on an intimate venue, all the way through to a 35+ wrap blast on a lake of Gigantica proportions. This is ideal model if you want one set of high-end rods that will do it all. Recommended casting weight: 2-4oz.
