Product Information
Full details
The Century Carbon Stealth Bankstick Stabiliser - Chunky is designed for anglers who prefer single-stick setups and require maximum rod support. Its primary benefit is the prevention of bankstick rotation in soft or uneven ground, ensuring your rods stay perfectly aligned even under pressure. While this model is expertly engineered for increased stability, it is important to note that it is specifically sized for chunky diameter banksticks and may not be compatible with thinner, standard-gauge alternatives.

FAQs
Will this fit standard banksticks?
No, this version is specifically designed for chunky diameter banksticks.
Does this require tools for installation?
No, it is a tool-free design that slides onto the bankstick manually.
Can it be used on rocky ground?
It is not recommended for hard, rocky ground as the stabiliser arms may bend or fail to penetrate.
How many stabilisers do I need for a three-rod setup?
Ideally, you should use one for each individual bankstick to ensure maximum stability for all rods.
Is the material prone to rusting?
No, it is made from carbon material which is naturally resistant to water and rust.
Troubleshooting
Stabiliser feels loose on the bankstick
Verify that your bankstick diameter matches the 'Chunky' specifications of the unit.
Difficulty pushing into hard ground
Do not force the unit; use a bankstick T-bar or screw-point accessory to pilot the hole first.
Unit spinning in the ground
Ensure the stabiliser arms are fully buried to provide the necessary leverage against soil resistance.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides superior stability compared to standard single-stick setups
- Lightweight carbon construction does not add unnecessary weight to your luggage
- Highly durable and resistant to environmental wear
- Easy installation and removal process
- Ensures rods remain secure even during aggressive bites
Cons
- Not compatible with standard, thin-diameter banksticks
- Requires specific ground conditions for optimal engagement
- Fixed diameter means it lacks adjustability for different stick sizes
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, slide the stabiliser onto your chunky bankstick before driving the stick into the ground. Ensure the stabiliser's arms are oriented to provide the most support against the direction of the rod tension. Compatibility is strictly limited to chunky diameter banksticks; attempting to use this with smaller sticks will result in a loose, ineffective fit. For care, rinse the unit with fresh water after sessions in silty or sandy conditions to prevent grit buildup in the locking mechanism. Store in a dry, ventilated area to maintain the structural integrity of the carbon fiber.
