Kaizen Rod Range
The Kaizen Rod range has been under development for more than four years, driven by the goal to create high-end rods that surpass those currently on the market. Manufactured in the UK using super high tensile, high-grade Japanese carbon, these rods feature 50mm butt guides with 18mm tip rings, aluminium trim rings with a JAG etched stainless butt cap, and are fitted with a Fuji DPS reel seat. Built with Seaguide TDG lightweight stainless steel guides, the rods also boast a Japanese shrink grip handle with a flared butt, a fast-tapered profile blank for higher compression strength, and a low glare matt paint finish.
All our high-end Kaizen Platinum rods are built on a fast-tapered profile mandrel, ensuring the taper of the rod consistently extends from the butt to the tip. This design produces rods with a very tippy action, with most of the flex being towards the tip end. Under extreme pressure, such as casting, the rod will still bend all the way through.
The carbon used in the Kaizen range is crucial to its performance. We selected the best super tensile, high-grade Japanese carbon available—ZERO90 carbon—which is used in just two layers with minimal resin content, resulting in lighter, stiffer blanks.
To complement the lightweight blanks, all Kaizen rods are fitted with lightweight Sea-Guide TDG rings, featuring a 50mm butt and 16mm tip. This design allows the line to flow smoothly from a big pit spool with minimal resistance and ensures leader knots pass smoothly through the tip ring. The reel is secured with a superior quality Fuji DPS seat, and the handle is finished with Japanese shrink grip for a firm hold, even when wet. The rods are completed with aluminium trim and an etched butt cap by JAG, giving them an extremely desirable custom look.
Danny Fairbrass, a key figure in rod design and one of the driving forces behind the Kaizen range, expressed his enthusiasm: "They are an absolute joy to use, so lightweight but powerful, with really light rings that move through the air easily and cast perfectly straight. They also look absolutely gorgeous."
