Product Information
The Century Excalibur XT is an entry-point Century carp rod range for anglers who want a UK-built rod with familiar Century finishing details. It sits across close-range and intermediate carp fishing, with models covering compact 10ft use, standard 12ft setups and a longer 13ft option.
The range is built around a 1K carbon surface weave through the butt and base of the tip. Century pairs that with a full shrink rubber handle, Graphite DPS size 18 reel seat and black hoods, giving the rod a clean build around proven carp-rod fittings.
Model options are 10ft 3.50lb, 12ft 3.25lb, 12ft 3.50lb and 13ft 3.50lb. The 10ft model is the close-quarters option, the 12ft 3.25lb is the more traditional playing-action choice, and the stronger 12ft and 13ft models sit higher in Century's guideline range.
The guides use black steel frames with SiC liners, with size 40-12 guides on the 10ft rod and size 50-16 guides on the 12ft and 13ft rods. Cosmetic details include a matt silver grey logo, Union Jack detail and Century engraved black aluminium butt cap.
For anglers looking at Century without moving straight to the top of the carp range, the Excalibur XT gives a clear starting point. It is most useful where build origin, tidy fittings and a choice of fishing ranges matter as much as raw distance.
