Description
The Century FBS (Fat Boy Slim) is a carp rod built around playing action rather than casting distance. Its ultra low diameter blank produces a sweeping parabolic curve that makes playing carp a pleasure, and it suits anglers who prefer a traditional approach over the stiffer, more powerful rods that dominate the current carp scene. The fundamental blank design has remained consistent for around 20 years, and FBS owners know what they want from a fishing rod. The range includes 10ft models in 3.00lb and 3.50lb, which suit use with a boat, fishing closer in the margins, or tight swims. The 12ft 2.75lb and 12ft 3.50lb models differ in the materials used and in the power of the butt section. The 12ft 2.75lb is better suited to canals, small lakes and smaller carp, while the 12ft 3.50lb suits established lakes holding older carp that have grown over the years and need more power than the 2.75lb version.
