Century Carbon Fibre Pod 3 Rod | The Ultimate UK-Made Stealth Setup

When high-performance engineering meets carbon fiber artistry, you get the Century Carbon Fibre Pod. Developed in collaboration with Jamie at Custom Angling Solutions, this isn’t just a rod pod; it’s a modular support system designed for the angler who demands the absolute best. At Gerry’s Fishing, we consider this one of the most versatile and visually stunning setups on the market today.

Manufactured right here in the UK, this pod combines high-spec carbon fiber with black anodized aluminum fittings to achieve a “Stealth” appearance that looks incredible on the bank. But it’s not just about looks—the carbon construction keeps the weight to a staggering fraction over 1kg, making it a dream for the mobile angler.

The true beauty of the Century system lies in its 3-in-1 versatility. Depending on your swim, you can use it as a full rod pod, a stabilizer-style goal-post setup, or even as individual banksticks. Whether you are fishing off a wooden pier, a concrete towpath, or a lush grass bank, this kit adapts instantly to give you a rock-solid, vibration-free foundation.

Technical Specifications (Two-Piece Stealth Model)

Pro Tip from the Gerry’s Team

Because this pod uses real carbon fiber, it is incredibly stiff but also very light. When fishing on high-profile wooden platforms or in high winds, use the included stabilizer fittings even when in “pod mode” if possible. By splaying the sticks slightly, you create a wider footprint that makes this lightweight frame feel like it’s bolted to the ground. Also, always give the stainless steel points a quick wipe before packing them into the carbon tubes to keep the tolerances perfect!

Example of Where to Use

The Century Carbon Fibre Pod is the “Special Ops” of rod supports. It is perfect for:

• Elite Syndicate Lakes: Where you want a “Stealth” low-profile look that doesn’t spook fish in the margins.

• Urban/Concrete Swims: The two-piece center bar provides a rigid frame for canal towpaths or car parks where you can’t get a stick in the ground.

• Long-Distance Stalking: Because it packs down to just 35.5cm (the center bar) and weighs barely a kilogram, it fits inside most medium rucksacks, leaving your hands free for your rods and mat.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the benefit of the Two-Piece Center Bar?

The two-piece design allows the pod to pack down much smaller than traditional one-piece frames. It fits into a much more compact carry case, making it ideal for anglers with limited boot space or those who walk long distances to their swims.

Is carbon fiber as strong as stainless steel for a pod?

In terms of “rigidity per gram,” carbon fiber is superior. While stainless is heavier and can take more blunt force trauma, the high-spec carbon used by Century won’t bend or warp, and it won’t corrode. It provides a rock-solid, “dead” feel that eliminates rod-tip wobble.

Does it come with the buzz bars?

Yes! This is a complete kit. It includes the front and rear 3-rod buzz bars, six chunky banksticks (two different lengths), the center bar, stabilizers, and the luxury carry case.

Are the threads compatible with my alarms?

Absolutely. Century uses the industry-standard 3/8 BSF threads, so your Delkims, Nevilles, or Fox alarms will screw straight on with a perfect, flush fit.
