Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Carp anglers fishing from wooden platforms. It gives you a dedicated, screwed-down base when there’s no soil for ordinary banksticks.
- Anglers already using Carbon Stealth Slim banksticks. The stand is made specifically for that slim 12mm system, keeping the setup tidy and lightweight.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers using Century Chunky banksticks. This is the Slim version, so it isn’t the right match for the larger Chunky system.
- Anglers fishing normal gravel, grass or muddy banks. A regular bankstick or pod will usually be more flexible when you can push supports straight into the ground.

Quick verdict
Small bit of kit, proper useful job
If you fish from wooden stages and run Century Carbon Stealth Slim banksticks, this is a neat, lightweight way to build a solid rod support without faffing around with a full pod.
At £22.50, it’s not bargain-bin tackle, but the fit and purpose are spot on. Just make sure you’ve got the Slim banksticks, not the Chunky versions, before ordering.

The purpose-built Century design and lightweight slim construction look well suited to a clean platform setup.
A screwed-down base should give the matching bankstick a much firmer home than improvised platform supports.
It won’t change your rig, but stable rod positioning can make platform fishing more organised and confidence-inspiring.
The job is straightforward, and the fixing screw is included, though you’ll need to choose the mounting position carefully.
£22.50 is fair for a well-targeted accessory, especially if you already own the Carbon Stealth Slim banksticks.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Century Carbon Stealth Slim Fishing Bankstick Stage Stand
Platform fishing can be brilliant. You’re often sat over proper fish-holding water, the rods are tucked neatly in front of you, and there’s no wrestling with bankside vegetation every time you need to move. But getting a stable rod setup sorted on the wood can be a bit of a faff.
That’s where the Century Carbon Stealth Slim Stage Stand comes in. It’s a small, specialist mounting piece that screws onto a wooden platform and gives you a solid base for a matching bankstick. No bodging. No balancing a pod on the edge. Just a proper fixing point where you need it.
The key thing is the word “Slim”. This stand is made for Century’s Carbon Stealth Slim banksticks, using the 12mm-diameter slimline carbon tube system. It isn’t a universal stand for every bankstick in the tackle shop, and it isn’t the same product as the Century Chunky Stage Stand.
That compatibility makes or breaks the buy. If your kit is already built around Carbon Stealth Slim banksticks, the stand should slot into that setup nicely. You can keep the whole arrangement light and tidy, which is exactly what you want when you’re carrying tackle onto a platform or working in a cramped swim.
Installation is straightforward in principle. Pick a sensible spot on the wooden platform, use the supplied fixing screw, and attach the stand securely. You’ll want it positioned so the bankstick sits naturally with your alarm, reel and rod guides all lining up properly. A few seconds spent thinking about the angle can save a load of annoying readjustment later.
Once it’s in place, the stand gives the bankstick a proper anchor rather than relying on friction or a wobbly free-standing pod. That’s handy when you’re fishing tight to a feature, setting rods at an angle, or simply trying to keep everything compact and out of the way. It’s a small part, but it sorts a very specific headache.
The ultra-lightweight build is another big plus. Platform sessions already come with enough gear to lug around, so there’s little appeal in adding a hefty pod when a compact stage stand can do the job. The slim format also keeps the look clean and avoids a big lump of metal dominating the front of your swim.
There are limits, of course. This is not the bit of kit to buy if you mainly fish ordinary banks where banksticks push straight into soil or gravel. A standard bankstick gives you more freedom there. The Stage Stand really earns its keep when you’re committed to wooden platforms and need a secure, permanent-ish fixing point for the session.
At the listed £22.50, it sits in the sensible specialist-accessory bracket. You’re paying for the correct fit and a tidy solution, rather than loads of moving parts. That looks fair if you already own the matching slim banksticks. If you don’t, the cost of building the whole system is a different conversation.
So, should you buy one? If you fish platforms with Century Carbon Stealth Slim banksticks, yes, mate — it’s a bob-on little upgrade that makes the swim easier to organise. Just check the bankstick diameter before clicking buy, because choosing Slim when you actually run Chunky kit would be a proper schoolboy error.

Our take
The platform problem it sorts
A normal bankstick can be a right pain on a wooden platform. There’s nowhere sensible to push it in, and balancing a pod or improvised support can leave your rods sitting awkwardly. The Stage Stand gives you a dedicated fixing point instead.
It’s a specialist bit of tackle rather than an all-round pod accessory. For the right swim, though, that’s exactly the appeal: screw it down, add the matching slim bankstick, and you’ve got a clean, stable base for your rod setup.
A dedicated platform base
What you’re actually buying
The Carbon Stealth Slim Stage Stand is a compact mount designed to screw onto a wooden fishing platform. Its job is simple: provide a secure base for a Century Carbon Stealth Slim bankstick where normal banksticks can’t be pushed into the ground.
It’s built around the slim 12mm-diameter carbon tube system and is ultra-lightweight, so it won’t add much bulk to a platform setup. The supplied fixing screw means the main installation part is included.
Worth knowing. Check your banksticks before ordering. This is the Slim stand, not the Century Chunky Stage Stand. The two versions are distinct.
Match the kit to the swim
Best uses on the bank
This is made for carp anglers fishing from wooden stages, platforms or similar timber structures. It’s particularly handy when you want rods held firmly and neatly without taking a full rod-pod or trying to balance supports on the wood.
It suits anglers who already use Carbon Stealth Slim banksticks and want the rest of the setup to stay lightweight and consistent. Set the stand in a sensible position, screw it down securely, then build your rod arrangement around the bankstick.
For normal banks, it’s less compelling. If you can push a regular bankstick into the ground, you’ll usually get more positioning freedom without needing a fixed platform mount.
A few quick answers
Before you add it to the basket
No. It’s a stage stand and bankstick base. You’ll need the compatible Century Carbon Stealth Slim bankstick and the rest of your rod-support setup separately.
No. It’s designed as an ultra-lightweight accessory, which is useful when carrying tackle onto a platform or keeping a compact swim setup.
It’s listed at £22.50 by Total Fishing Tackle and The Tackle Box. Stock and prices can move, so check the retailer before ordering.
