Korda Kaizen Platinum Rods & Spring Bow Net Explained 🔥 (Carp Fishing Rods)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 мар 2023
- Carp fishing expert Danny Fairbrass REVEALS the Korda Kaizen Platinum carp fishing rods and Korda Spring Bow landing nets for the first time ever!
The Kaizen Rod range has been under development for more than four years and came about as we felt that we could develop high-end rods that were even better than those already on the market - despite this being a first for Korda, we have utilised the extensive knowledge and experience of our Team Korda anglers and product development staff to produce an exceptional range of rods.
Danny Fairbrass has a long association with rods bearing his name, and which he was involved in developing. It was a natural progression for Korda to develop a range ourselves that had all the attributes that he, and our other anglers, would be looking for from the ultimate carp fishing rods.

Like rods, landing nets can be a very personal choice. Aesthetics and function always influencing most anglers’ decision-making when purchasing a new item of tackle. Taking inspiration from the original Spring Bow, built by Dons of Edmonton in the early eighties. Our NEW version offers a super light yet super stiff 6’ reverse taper handle, a unique Aluminium JAG Engineered Spreader Block and stainless steel spike cap and the way it’s constructed means it floats without the need for a net float.
Available in 3 size versions 42, 46 and 50” and supplied with deep mesh as standard.

New Fairbrass drinking game. Take a shot for every "pin point accuracy." Im slaughtered
Can't wait to get my hands on um been waiting for you boys to release these bad boys 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🎣🎣👍🏻
Time will tell, very beautiful rods. 👍👍
I’d buy the dawia rods he used to use 🤷♂️(probably still does)
These - fuck that……
Having used these rods (12.6 4lb) for the first time today they are indeed very good - I’ve used most brands - and I’m very happy. The 13ft spod is awesome! Well done Korda.
How many rods u get? What reel u paired them with?
Well done the price too.
Sheep falling for the marketing its just a diawa rod pml
@@aarondavies8486 might know korda would target anglers with a higher budget I could buy some but nah rather stick with my free spirit blanks and by the look of it these rods cast more like semi fast action rods than fast action, which I think I could cast further with my rods.
@@paulAnthony7236 they are nothing new ether I bet korda pay 80 quid a rod but need to pay diawa out of the money made and the korda profit line can't be to small I bet I bought some rods from China the manufacturer that fox use for their rods it was a retractable rod like scopes but was.made from real 1k carbon not just a wrap to make it look like carbon it had top fuji guides and reel seat a sea lock on I paid 38 quid a rod mate they were that good I got rid of my 12ft rods also the crap DF talks about at the beginning sonik 90 quid rods come with more tech in the blank than these do it's all a con and like I have been asking all the tackle companies for a year now what's going to happen when sanctions come to China for giving weapons to Russia or when they invade Taiwan no one can answer it its really funny tbh as no one even thought that far a head I don't think
Fantastic video & presentation Danny., but at 61. I think my ESP
TERRY HEARN DISTANCE rods will surfice.
I have a set of reflexes whch i'm thinking of changing
Looks great to me , defo getting a couple of nets
Fair play that looks a very fast recovery on the cast.. 👌
@Son of Wessex recovery is when you cast the rod and recovers back straight again !
It does look fast recovery mate 👍
These look mega rods 🔥🔥
The blanks look very thick compared to other top of the range rods such as Free Spirit.
I said the same its made by diawa and I bet its just the old infinity rods
@@aarondavies8486 agreed, I have had Infinity rods in the past, and they were good for sure, but I have several sets of Free Spirit rods now and they are streets ahead, and so slim throughout the TC range.
@@garybaker5397 I bet you the landing net is Chinese made to so they pay about 60 quid for the landing net then charge 250 for it also I can guess these rods cost 80 quid max as they have to pay diawa to make them then the korda lot need to make something on top of that to so I bet they pay 80 a rod and sell for 400 just rob dogs mate and when sanctions come to China like Russia the industry is doomed everything comes from China and the sad thing I look forward to that day to stop gready mugs like Danny can't make a penny out of the working man for his over priced bull just like fox you can get all their tackle from alibaba all as bad as each other
We have had loads of Kaizen events at our work for the past 12 years.
NICE LOOKING KIT MT
Stunning looking hi end equipment sadly out of my price range but i understand top quality comes at a price cheers guys
what are the prices??
I heard 470 a rod roughly
@@addictedtoangling just looked them up - starting at £375 for the 12ft/3lb tc going up to £480 for the 13ft/4lb tc
@@clivejohnson9515 cheers fella they certainly are quality and worth the money
@@addictedtoangling Yes, they definitely look it.. I'm in the market to replace my 19-year-old ESP reflexes, so its ether these or the daiwa X45's
Danny is a fishing hero of mine, this is not let's fool everyone to think they are average rods for a premium, he wouldn't put his name to it look at all korda stuff it's all top draw and these are just the pinnacle of fishing rods
I will stick to my Torrix rods, but they look minimalistic tho :)
So pleased you’re looking very healthy Mr F! You look so much better with a bit of weight on you boy! Rods look outstanding, wish I had a spare £1k for x3!
I love a bit of Korda gear but my free spirit Ives er are spot on for me the net looks smart but I need an 8ft pole Korda 🙏🏻
My question is ... will you stand behind your rods as does Sportex with their 10yr warranty?
Sportex is way better for sure
Iv loved watching DF and crew over the years but I Couldn’t help but think how expensive fishing has become😢 I took it up as a hobby as a child because it was cheap, we had no money and it was the most fun I could get. After spending thousands over the years on tackle and day tickets -I can’t do it anymore and it sucks… £40 for a 24hr session on my fave venue, most place similarly priced. We need to get fishing back to its roots i personally think it’s got way out of hand now.
Fully agree with you , especially in the current financial climate.
Danny has taken care of us, I have always invested in his terminal tackle and mainline baits
It's not fishing in general it's just carp fishing,IV given up carp fishing and now fish for big tench it's just as good if not better it's much harder catching a double figure tench than it is a 40lb carp...lots of waters to fish for very little money that hold big tench,I could afford to buy any carp gear I want but won't due to it being a scam along with paying thousands a year in tickets...I just had enough of the rat race...now I feel like a kid again and loving it
@@MidlandAngler I agree with you about the cost of the top of the range tackle but there are rods and reels for carp anglers that cost a lot less, I'm lucky in that I only fish rivers for chub, perch and pike in the winter.
To reduce prices of lakes you have to ask the fish farmers to drop their prices on stock, and reduce workers wages, you then have to ask the feed supplier for the lakes to reduce the price of feed and reduce their workers wages, on top of that the government for fuel prices which fish farmers and feed suppliers have to pay to deliver goods, some lakes charge less but don't always have a feed programme which is around £1200 for 1 tonn of pellet, being a fish farmer and buying huge bulk they probably pay a little less but either way it's around 1k a ton, fish farmers use a hell of a lot more than that.. I'm not trying to justify £40/50 a night as £25-30 is the going rate unless you want to fish a tarted up lake, electric/WiFi etc then go ahead a pay £40/50 a night but lakes have to make money to pay staff, for feed, invest in future stock which again fish aren't cheap, carp being one of the cheaper fish but still not cheap by any means, possibly rent if the fishery rents the lake/land, there's more to it then fishery owners lining thier own pockets and raking it in
Will there be matching reels? Allways love your products
Says made in the UK on these rods. Are they made by Daiwa ?.
I only ever really use 2.75lb for my fishing will these be available.
The price of these rods (and the spring bow net) is eye watering but they are premium products. You get what you pay for. Time will tell but If the quality of these rods does not justify the price tag then people will vote with their wallets. Maybe Korda will release a set of Kaizens on the basix range:)
How do you now.
It's made by diawa
Korda, don't actually make anything all produced in China and rod is a daiwa. They are brilliant sales and marketing people /company.
Very nice kit indeed!
The Samurai marketing theme is a bit… meh though.
Guy in a tackle shop tried to sell me a “Nash, black ops, covert, flick the bean, super secret stealth bivvy compound nuclear bunker” a few years ago. I asked him if it came with a free action man and stick on tattoo 😄. Must admit, as silly as it sounds, I don’t think I’ve brought a Nash product since 🤷♂️
Every piece of Nash kit i ever bought fell apart . I even had a mate that was sponsored by them and his gear constantly fell apart . Nash and korum I won’t waste my money on now .
Korda have been a pioneer on many products and projects, hopefully they will receive a good response in the tackle shops and sales. Thumbs up to the editorial and camera teams another professional production.
Are ypu bought and paid for by korda sure sounds like it
@@aarondavies8486 No, but in a world of negatively I will only ever vocalise positive feedback. If they can spark an interest in keeping people buying tackle it gets the thumbs up from myself.
@@theimperialangler they won't be soon once sanctions come to China for giving Russia weapons the tackle companies will be done for nearly everything bar some diawa and shimano stuff is all made in China its all on alibaba mate its a scam the mark up of some things is beyond a joke
I don't get on with new expensive rods I keep snapping em. Got a old set ov 3 spirits now when carbon was carbon. Happy Gilmore casters
I like the look of the net, very nice 👍🏻
Not worth 250 for a landing net made in china
Is there a basix version 😅
BOSHHH!!!!
Are they techniums in the 12ft6 section?
Look nice, but will wait a while before reckon and see the reviews
My first carp rods was north Weston blanks done me well. It's what you can afford. I'm on Fox rods now...
Good old North Western blanks. Happy memories. I'm on Shimano's now.
Cool looking rods.. tho questions..
How did have made to test?
Also if you produce 10000 rods how do you know they as good as the test rods..
Couldn't you test rod 1000 2000 3000 4000 and 5000.. just a idea..
Is whisker 45 qd reel a god option for kaizen rod 12ft 3.5lb?
They look excellent and definitely up to the job. Anyone know whose blanks they are using and who are they built by?
I'm assuming daiwa
Stick to my Greys
4.32 … nice reels 😊
Any plans for 10ft rods as only ever use 10ft rods due to my size lol 😆
Rods looks so cool, but as i know SeaGuide TDG not so good, its can be damaged by braid or mono (not so fast as by braid) because stanless steel inner. Any owner of this rods here can give feedback after some sessions?
Just found the price for the net 250 really, way out of my price range. Even so can’t justify that price
@Mikey that's a good price of they really are top end.
@@bryn3652 im sure people will enjoy nicking them 🤷♂️
Korda is expensive bcuz its very good quality. U can buy some cheap stuff, but after 1 year of using it u would buy Korda :)
@@Giorgiio69 No problem with quality but really the prices are becoming ridiculous. I have good rods that have caught me many upper 30s and for 3 rods and a spod nearly 2k and then the net not for me. But each to his own
250 quid to net a fish out. The worlds gone mad.
The comments on this video are hilarious! You don’t see videos on Ferraris, porches and Lamborghinis etc. with comments like ‘that’s ridiculous-I can drive around in my £10k ford focus just the same’, so why do people feel the need to do it for fishing rods? Accept that there’s a top end market out there for pretty much every leisure product and some people will be fortunate enough and willing to pay the price. If you don’t want to, or are unable to, pay for top end products then that is absolutely fine. Just stop blood whinging about it😂.
Good luck with the new products korda and I hope those that end up buying them thoroughly enjoy the ownership experience🙂
that's a terrible analogy pal.. Ferraris and posches have never been reasonably priced .. you know .. like fishing used to and should be.. don't give up the day job Shakespeare
@@johnnybegood9560 Don’t give up failing to understand analogy’s Johnny🙂. Tight lines buddy!
@@Mikeyboofboof tighter than yours dry net
@@johnnybegood9560 😂😂 whatever buddy🙄
@@Mikeyboofboof move on son, no need to be salty
😅don’t forget the motto “PIN POINT ACCURACY “ 😅😅
I always believe you get what you pay for BUT just WISH these came with a ALPS reel seat or something that looks more dapper and less like my first ever Shakespeare spinning rod from 20yrs ago 😂 next time they make one maybe 🤞🏼🙏🏻
Wish you would sell the spreader block seperate
the rods look good, but are you doing a 12.6 rod sleeve
Just use a 13 foot one, it’s a matter of inches
12ft-6s fit in a 13ft rod bag lovely
Nash 13ft rod sleeves are suffice.
My Terry Hearns 12ft 6" from ESP are a tight fit, but fit.
Is it only me see where he talks about his 52” spring bow although the image is a 50”
Danny long time John the spod
Is Sea Guide rings not inferior to Fuji or Titanium rings?
No, lightweight and low friction. I've used them on beach casting rods for years, very reliable.
Very pricey.
But then again someone has to pay Pecky to be a full time angler.
Here is the new Kaizen rod guys! Produced for £50 pounds and sold for £400 😅
probaly prouced for less than 50 icl
My soundtrack wasn't aligned to the video?
Hello, these are great products but we need more British-made items but the Japanese ninja name is the 9 mantra for zen and ninja magic.
How about kaijin heavenly thunder sticks for a baiting stick.
Probably Chinese made just like everything else
The Kaizen Platinums are built in the UK using Japanese carbon 👍
@Korda TV Carp Fishing built by diawa just like guru rods can I ask what will happen when sanctions come to China for giving Russia weapons or when they invade Taiwan
Got my hands on them at the big one, incredibly impressive but way too expensive unfortunately
what £400 lol
Just diawa rod mate not missing much
Good luck to those who can afford the rods not something I will ever be able to own
Big respect.
I have, 3 x 12.9" 3.5lb Terry Hearn distance rods. Superb too.
Why do i need to change, because it says KAIZEN OR KORDA
@@davidryley4162 same as , had my set of ESP 12.9 Terry Hearn classics since 2015 , ultimate carp rods 👍🏻
Can you try before you buy?
First 🎉
I’ll stick with my xflites thanks.
Fuck...I need a set 😶
Korda are soooo good at catching the angler… fishing at its best! 🤦♂️
Having seen the comments about price, I was expecting £500-£700 ....£350-£380 isnt that bad given that most anglers want the best they can afford... And alot of them will happily spend £1500 on a bait boat
The rods aren't for me (they are expensive for a company with no rod building pedigree) but no doubt they are well designed, quality items that will sell well!
The net is another matter all together. It's up there with a dymag mk2 and blows the floppy solar bow loc out of the water
The higher the modulus of the carbon the more unsuitable it becomes for fishing rods. The weight of a rod is NOT in the carbon it's the resin content. I know these things.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Everything korda is too expensive,
im so glad i took up lure fishing, carping is just for flash mugs who like camping with the odd fish chucked in.
The carp fishing hype is coming to an end
Lighten up pal
@@neilingle1168 he’s not wrong tho. I’m a carp angler but the way Korda have managed to seduce this new breed of carp angler into buying their gear, is marketing at its best.
Not every one is a flash mug .. I could say all lure anglers dress like formula one drivers and fish lures because it’s easy and requires no water craft.. however I’m not as narrow minded as you .
@@Mr_P.I._Staker what people seem to forget is Korda are a business like any other in any other industry. In business the idea is to be successful and profitable. Korda are all of that and what they have brought to carp fishing is unrivalled!
Taking liberties with the price as per usual!!
Only for people who can’t afford them
@@GG-ch1hm which is 90% of the population!
Good job 90% of the population don’t carp fish then. If you can’t afford it then don’t buy it. It’s top end stuff. No different to buying a Solar P1 Bow Loc.
I like some of Korda tackle but they are becoming silly with pricing, supposed to be a company wanting to get people fishing, on finance maybe.
Just when I thought Nash was expensive.. I’ll stick to my Greys etc
Very nice rods, but soo much money
Why does carp fishing attract so many knob heads whoever buys these rods I'm sure you will be more than happy. Whoever chooses not to buy them because they are to expensive for you just try and be happy in other ways it will all be OK for you . I promise
Sorry I dont trust matt black rods and need 2 3/4lb with a thick layer of shiny varnish.
That price is of the scale 🤣 like most of kordas gear so no suprise
We understand not everyone will want or be willing to pay top end money on a set of Rods. However, for those that do we’ve produced a range of incredible carp fishing rods.
How much are these rods n nets only affordable to the rich ppl
Chic poles but unfortunately too expensive, I would like Korda to bring out rods that are affordable for normal mortals...
they do...
Good look to them , not my kinda product
I do like abit of korda and went to buy some of the rods but there to over priced for a rod yes i get there decent built but to over priced
price of them rods 🤥
What planet are they on - £350 for a net
Its £250 but can get it for £225
So, these rods are called KAIZEN because they will be constantly evolving. In other words you'll be bringing an "upgrade" out on a regular basis hoping people keep shelling out their hard earned cash on the latest model like Daiwa do. Carbon fibre hasn't advanced in the last 20 years, hence the reason Free Spirit have never upgraded their hi-s range in 20 years.
And why has carp fishing become all about hitting the horizon? Are the margins no longer a feature where carp feed anymore? I guess if you take a barrow down to your swim, set up camp, cook bacon, sausage, and eggs, and have a few beers with your mates, then yes the margins will no longer be a feature worth targeting.
Biggest carp I seen hooked, lol, was rod length out on float maggot size 16 hook, feeding with a shoal of bream on a boiling hot day, lol, in the evening
yeh at £345 a rod gl
Ehat about reels
Dont care anyone paying that for those need aint an angler they are a showman trying to look good on the bank
For everyone moaning about price, most people will be buying these of 12/24M or Klarna/Clearpay. Almost everything now is monthly payment this will be no different
yes exactly, dimwhit mugs put everything on the never never ... the same halfwhits that pay 250 for a net
I can tell you now the net is over priced by a serious. Ally spreader block broom handle pole and a deep cheap pike netting for finish. Shocking price
400 quid imagine a 3 rod set up with a spot rod your talking 1600 quid
1775
On the park lakes I fish I wouldn’t set foot with £1600 of rods .. that’s with out adding other tackle prices 👀😳🤦🏻♂️I’d never sleep
Kaizen is superb, start with a 2 rod kaizen set up. Constantly upgrade when you can. Top of the tree gear is my motto
@@speakupreality633 How do you know lol
Beautiful rods and landing net. Not for me to say whether they will stand the test of time, only time will tell but what I can tell you, this lot does not fit the wallet of us average Joe Angler.
Only if you can win the lottery are these affordable to the general public.
Rods 800
Reels 1000
There's a scammer saying i won a korda prize from a short list beware.
I'm sure they are but for me too expensive and don't like the look. And why the high lbs....
Looks like any other carp rod, I’d want a cork handle. Break the mould!
£249 for a landing net 😂😂😂
Ridiculous 🤣🤣🤣
I’m sure Solar did a stainless net that was even more expensive at one time 😮
@@MidlandAngler and how did that go? Sold a few and never made them again.
@@mikethefisherman1175 exactly .. I wouldn’t buy either . It hurt buying my trakker net
The net is priced according to the materials used. We understand a top end net wont be for everyone, but in terms of the Spring Bow wanted to pay homage to the original and produce what we see as being the best quality landing net on the market 🙂
The rods i agree have a heavy price tag but you get what you pay for when it comes to rods and how will they last over time we will see. But £250 for a landing net have you gone completely mental if anyone spends that kind of money on a landing net then you got more money than sense. They claim you can net a fish faster by what 0.00001ms it floats whats a small net float these day £5 most landing nets pretty much float nowdays. Its got a spike in the end of it we can all do that just take the end out of your landing net handle and fit your own.Carp fishing has gone crazy and compaines nowdays are just having our pants down and going in dry.
As in any industry, you have companies that want to take existing products and improve them. We have spent time creating the ultimate landing net with the Spring Bow. Our product development team along with Damian Clarke has produced the best product, using the best materials as many anglers ultimately want the best. The premium materials, development time, and knowledge that have gone into this product are second to none.
The landing net prob Chinese made and the rods diawa made if korda is wanting 400 a rod they can't be that good as they have to make a profit on it so I bet they pay 80 quid a rod the sell for 400 and when sanctions come to China because of weapons being sent to Russia the tackle industry is doomed and I look forward to that day
Couldn't agree more, beyond ridiculous.
@@KordaTV If you are saying anglers ultimately want the best then explain this. Why is it if you go onto top selling sites like angling direct and total fishing and look up top ten landing nets why is it that 99% of them are priced below £100. So you are catering for the 1% that shows how you really have lost touch with the angling community or just trying to take advantage of it. That landing net does not do anything different to what a £100 landing net can do other then it has a spike in the end and made from what you call the best materials that we all know is made very cheap.
@@KordaTV My landing net is about 35 years old, it is a Terry Eustace glass fibre model, the handle does not bend at all when netting a fish, it is light and has landed dozens of big pike and cats, it will see my fishing days out!
Seems that if you use Korda tackle then you must be always fishing at 140 plus yards. I bet 80% of carp anglers have never fished over 100 yards, me included. Plus you will need a decent big pit reels to get the most out of these rods, so that's another 200 to 400 quid. Dear old do this long range fishing lark.
Fishing under the tip with a 4lb tc rod 😂 what a surprise another rod that will cast with pin point accuracy, cast a mile and still be nice to play fish on. Every rod manufacturer says the same thing. Net looks nice though, rods look crap, like a £50 sonik.
Hi Stuart, I think if you used the rods and held them in your hand you would feel differently. Thanks
They look like every other daiwa rod 🤷
Daiwa are proven though.
The stuff your talking about on the rod 100 quid rods are built like you say pml no rod uses low modular carbon now days what a load of bull he talks
yeah because danny now thinks these are the best , when he said previous DF longbow were the best everybody will rush out and buy them…there are still better rods out there
They are just diawa rods mate not korda if they asking 400 for a rod it will be a rubbish rod in diawa standards for profit margins
Ur prices plucked out the sky? This is a prime example of why fishing become such an expensive sport. There’s no fun in keeping up with the jones. I’ll stick to my warrior S rods
Like everything else the more you pay the better the quality it is. If you wanna pay £50 for a rod made in China don't moan when it breaks after a few uses. I'd rather pay a bit for something that's going to last and its made in the UK so its supporting uk companies. Its a win win in my eyes
Alright mate
@@ethan-mr7ix just saying. Everyone bitches about price but no ones forcing them to buy them
@@jamesmortimer9906 yeah gotta admit that's a bit steep for a landing net 😂 but the rods are fairly priced
@Carp man rods are working tools, although I also feel they're abit steep. They've got a job to do and last. Landing net though...I mean come on!!
@@jamesmortimer9906 yeah I'm a heating engineer and paid a lot for my tools but I've had some of them for over 15 years so it's cheaper in the long run to pay a bit more for quality. Haha yeah I don't think many people will pay that much for a net
Unless it's a free spirit rod I wouldn't waste my time on any other brand rod
Much rather a set of ctx SU compared to these korda rods
The ctx will destroy these korda rods
Buy some Harrison’s or Century rods that are made in England not some far east factory
