I could do with some big rods for bag work- anyone actually had both the tx2 intensity and the kaiser green 4lb able to offer some advice?

TX2 all day long. I've tried both side by side.

Seeing some massive deals on Korda Kaizen Green rods x 3 with money off and the free 5 rod holdall...
Are they lining up another rod? Or are sales struggling?

Sales ain't struggling but there is a mid range rod coming out,it is to sit between the greens and the platinums

I don't think the rod sales are struggling I think the divide rod bag is though. It's odd they haven't brought out a dark kamo version and I've heard from a few that they don't trust their rods in them.

Ive been looking at buying a set of the greens in 12ft 6, 4lb TC. Anyone have any to offer advice/reviews? Obviously these would be for distance fising.
A mate of mine has the 13 x 4lb and really rates them.
I'm struggling big time with the whole range, I don't have them and have never owned them as have always believed in quality of carbon and have dismissed low end rods but Korda have blown this myth apart it seems.
You can get them for £100 so you have to assume retailers are paying £60 at the most, that means Korda are getting these landed in the country for about £30... maybe £40. That's blank, eyes, reel seat, make up and shipping.... Absolute madness.

I tried them in a shop an I must say, they feel very nice. Very light too.

£40 made by the retailer? Seems high, but maybe not?

Your thinking is way way in the past, the quality of rods you can get for round the 100 mark now is top notch. I have a set of Gardner coverts, and they are nicer to use than a set Of Bruce Ashby TE . Evolution brings cost down and puts quality up imho, I work in aerospace and see this all the time.

Absolutely I get the point - the but for me is that you have rods at £600 and rods at £100 and from what you are saying minimal difference. I'm not talking yesteryear I'm saying now. Why would anyone choose Platinums when these are virtually 3 for the price of 1?
