REBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{x}$ films can achieve remarkably high critical current density values by the incorporation of insulating nanoparticles. A particular interesting case concerns BaZrO$_{3}$ (BZO) nanorods, whose strongly correlated effect is seen at high temperatures. Here we investigate the field, temperature and angular dependence of the critical current density over a wide temperature range from 4.2 K to 77 K, and magnetic fields up to 31 T. We show that the correlated c-axis pinning of BZO nanorods becomes progressively less obvious at lower temperature. Indeed at 4.2 K and fields up to 31 T, the only correlated pinning is for fields parallel to the film plane. We interpret the change as being due to significant contributions from dense but weak pins that thermal fluctuations render ineffective at high temperatures but which become strong at lower temperatures.
