A longer rod will get you more distance, with practice, but plenty of people aren’t as comfortable with a 13ft rod, and this 12ft 6in. option is a great alternative. It’s been designed for longer range casting, but is also forgiving enough under the rod tip that you don’t have to fear hook pulls.
Danny Fairbrass: “These are a brilliant step up from a 12ft rod rather than having to go to a 13-footer, if you want to achieve longer range casting but the 13ft feels a bit too cumbersome in your hands.” “That extra six inches creates more distance but they still feel like you’re using a 12ft rod and still play fish beautifully as well. Everyone who has picked one of these up has loved them, so if you want an all-rounder that would fish from under your feet out to 140 yards, then that is the one I’d recommend.”
Cosmetically, the Kaizen Green range has a custom built, minimalist look, with a low glare, matt finish to the blank, black whippings and just a subtle green logo. The handle is covered in black Japanese shrink wrap and with a flared end to it, which offers better grip during casting and allows you to confidently pull the rod through with maximum force without fear of your hands slipping. That is finished with an injection moulded butt clap featuring a green Korda logo. Your reel is attached via a top quality Sea-Guide DPS style reel seat.
