Every so often a rod comes along that represents genuine advances in materials and design technology. It truly delivers benefits and advantages previously not available. It stems from expert angler input and cutting edge manufacturing. The Century FS is such a rod.

Century had already established critical development work on FoCal System in UKSF Tournament casting scene. This casting arena is internationally recognised as the toughest and most demanding test of rod design and technology. Rods are hammered and proven: many have tried to succeed but only a few UK manufacturers can claim to belong to the exclusive club of consistent winners. This experience was miniaturised and then optimised in a carp rod. Frank Warwick took the design principal and over several prototypes honed the Century FS carp rod into the most effective PVA bag and Method rod. It features a complex but rewarding action that is progressive, forgiving and still capable of yielding breathtaking distance. Anglers have reported back significant distance improvements with little or no change in casting technique with conventional rigs and bags.

A slim parallel butt with FoCaL compound multi modulus carbon fibre patterns – precision cut on a Swiss derived CAD CAM machine and rolled on the very latest multi gimballing electric rolling table. Autoclaved for maximum life and resistance to Test Curve decay. Complex but rewarding action that is progressive, forgiving and still capable of generating huge casts. Incorporating the new Century round stainless butt cap. Built up composite butt grip elegantly covered in black polymorphic black rubber.

Strategic inserts of cross ply carbons for axial torque resistance and to aid accuracy. Clear epoxy finish. Discreet and understated.
