Century ADV1 Stealth Carp Rod | 12ft 3.25lb Full Shrink Handle Silver Logo

The Century ADV1 Stealth Carp Rod – 12ft 3.25lb Full Shrink Handle Silver Logo is a refined multi-range performer designed to bridge the gap between finesse fish-playing rods and dedicated long-range tools. Positioned between classics like the NG+ in action and the more powerful FMA and SP+ distance rods, the ADV1 delivers exceptional versatility for modern UK carp anglers.

Developed with input from world distance casting champion Danny Moeskops and highly respected carp angler Frank Warwick, the ADV1 blends elite casting expertise with decades of real-world carp fishing experience. The result is a blank that loads progressively, recovers crisply and maintains superb directional control.

12ft 3.25lb – The Perfect All-Round Test Curve

The 12ft 3.25lb model is widely regarded as the sweet spot in the ADV1 range. It offers:

• Progressive mid-to-tip action for controlled fish playing

• Excellent casting capability across small and medium UK venues

• Enough backbone to handle 3–3.5oz leads comfortably

• A forgiving compression profile for consistent performance

It’s a true all-round carp rod suited to the majority of UK waters and equally capable on many Continental venues.

Advanced Blank Construction & Finish

Constructed using carefully selected high-performance carbon fibres, the ADV1 achieves a superb strength-to-weight ratio while maintaining a slim diameter profile. Subtle 1k-1k carbon reinforcement on the butt and lower tip enhances hoop strength and stability under load.

Each rod is finished with a low-flash PTFE/Silicone sealant for high UV resistance and long-term durability, ensuring the blank maintains its performance and understated aesthetics over time.
