14: IS KAIZEN GREEN RIGHT FOR YOU?
Having read all of the previous sections, you should by now have a good idea of the ethos behind the Kaizen Green rod range as well as what the various different lengths and test curves of rods are capable of in terms of their performance.
You should now understand why the rods are manufactured in the way that they are, using the same mandrel taper as that featured on our flagship Platinum rod range, and which produces an almost identical action.
This means that the rods have a fast taper, making them very tippy and helping when it comes to casting your rig a long way and fully utilising as much of the available power in the rod as possible.
All of the Green range uses a good quality carbon which has been chosen for its efficient power transfer, as well as its resilience to twisting, thus helping when it comes not only to absolute distance, but also how accurately you can put a rig there. This helps make the whole process of casting as effortless as possible, and helps you achieve consistency time and time again.
That is balanced with the ability of all of these rods to not only be great casting tools, but to do so whilst still offering a lovely fish playing action that makes them a oy to use, and with no need to constantly be fearing a hook pull throughout the fight.
Not only are you buying rods that perform to a high level, but they have the fittings and looks to match as well, and feel like they should command a much higher price tag than they come with.
The custom build minimalist look is normally found on high end rods, and is paired with components such as the Sea-Guide rings which are not only highly functional and offer great performance, but are also designed to be very robust as well and able to withstand a bit of abuse on the bank.
So if you are looking for rods that will do everything that you ask of them, whilst feeling nice to use, looking the part, and which are going to last you for years, and all at a very affordable price, then the Kaizen Green range is definitely going to do everything that you could expect from it.
Whilst it is great to be armed with all of the information you can get about the Kaizen Green range, and all of the different models with that, and it will help you to make a decision. Nothing beats actually picking up the rods and seeing how they feel in your hands, so before making a choice, we would definitely advise that you head down to your local Korda stockist and have a play around with them.
