Free Spirit S Lite 10ft (30mm Ringing)
Free Spirit are always keen to test out new technologies in rod design and in the last 18 months or so one has particularly stood out. The material in question allowed Free Spirit to build very strong slim blanks yet with very efficient recovery that were reminiscent of the now legendary Hi 'S' Range.

Korda Kaizen Platinum Carp Rod 12ft 3lb
The Korda Kaizen Platinum Carp Rod 12ft 3lb is the perfect rod if you are not looking to fish at long range and the playing action is your priority. It is still capable of putting a baited rig well over 100 yards if the need arises, but being the softest in the range, it allows the most accurate casting at shorter ranges.
Korda Kaizen Platinum Carp Rod 12ft 4lb
The Korda Kaizen Platinum Carp Rod 12ft 4lb is designed as a long range casting tool, but for those who don’t want to step up to a longer rod. It is incredibly powerful, and some anglers will find it easier to fully utilise this than they would do with a longer rod, and whilst it is an out-and-out casting tool, it still retains some degree of fish playing action as well and is by no means a ‘broomstick’. Recommended casting weight: 3-5oz.
Korda Kaizen Platinum Carp Rod 12ft 6" 4lb
The Korda Kaizen Platinum Carp Rod 12ft 6" 4lb was designed by Danny Fairbrass by adapting one of his favourite blank designs – shortening both the tip and butt slightly to create a 12ft 6" rod with a slightly higher test curve of 4lb. This rod is incredibly powerful and is designed as a long range casting tool first and foremost – it is quite possibly the most powerful rod in the Kaizen range, and unless you prefer the extra six inches that the 13ft model provides, it is the best choice for an extreme range rod. Recommended casting weight: 3-5oz.
Korda Kaizen Platinum Carp Rod 13ft 3.5lb
The Korda Kaizen Platinum Carp Rod 13ft 3.5lb is the perfect rod if you want something that can be used to blast a rig towards the horizon, but which also has a forgiving enough tip that it is nice to play fish on and is equally at home casting leads accurately at less extreme ranges, then this 3.5lb test curve model is definitely the one for you. Unless you’re looking for a real extreme range tool, then this is the one that most people will go for in 13ft. Recommended casting weight: 2-4oz.
Korda Kaizen Platinum Carp Rod 13ft 4lb
Korda Kaizen Platinum Carp Rod 13ft 4lb - Out of the whole range, the Korda Kaizen Platinum Carp Rod 13ft 4lb achieved the longest casts during testing, measured at over 200 yards and using a 4oz lead with a 15mm hookbait and rig. It’s rated at 3-5oz casting weight, but has been optimised for use with 4oz leads. If you’re looking for the ultimate, high-end casting rod and nothing else really matters, then this is the model for you, but it will take practice and technique to achieve the best results from it. Recommended casting weight: 3-5oz.
Korda Kaizen Platinum Carp Rod 12ft 3.5lb
The Korda 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.
