Century Fat Boy Slim Carp Rod | 10ft 3.5lb Ti-Forged Guides | Full Shrink Handle

The Century Fat Boy Slim Carp Rod – 10ft 3.5lb Ti-Forged Guides / Full Shrink Handle is a rod built for anglers who value pure playing action over excessive casting power.

The FBS (Fat Boy Slim) has earned cult status over the past two decades thanks to its ultra-low diameter blank and beautiful sweeping parabolic curve. It’s a rod designed to make playing carp a genuine pleasure — moving away from the trend of over-powered blanks and returning to traditional carp rod principles.

10ft 3.5lb – Compact Control with Character

The 10ft 3.5lb model is ideal for anglers who need mobility, precision and close-quarters control without sacrificing backbone.

Perfect for:

• Boat work

• Margin fishing

• Tight swims with overhanging trees

• Small to medium lakes

• Anglers wanting a compact yet powerful setup

Despite its shorter length, the 3.5lb test curve provides the strength needed for established lakes and hard-fighting carp, while still maintaining that trademark progressive FBS curve under load.

Legendary Parabolic Playing Action

The hallmark of the Fat Boy Slim is its smooth, flowing action. The blank compresses progressively from tip to butt, protecting hook holds and absorbing lunges at close range.

Unlike modern fast-taper distance rods, the FBS is about:

• Maximum enjoyment during the fight

• Controlled pressure throughout the curve

• Reduced hook pulls

• Balanced feel in hand

It’s a rod for anglers who understand that carp fishing is not just about how far you cast — it’s about how you play fish.

Premium UK Construction

Manufactured in the United Kingdom, the FBS is built using:

• Autoclave Technology for optimal carbon consolidation and long-term action retention

• Ultra low diameter blank design

This ensures durability, consistency and a refined feel that remains true season after season.
