XP Deus II Complete Carbon-Fiber Shaft

Our Deus II carbon-fiber shaft replaces the stock XP Deus 2 shaft completely, with a lightweight, all-carbon-fiber shaft of precision design and impeccable quality. Engineered with careful attention to detail, our goal was to keep the best features of the stock XP shaft (light weight, collapsibility), and yet offer substantial improvements — some subtle, and some more obvious. It comes standard with our all-carbon-fiber arm cuff.

Improvements over the stock shaft

• No shaft flex. High-strength, lightweight 3K carbon-fiber tubes give a stiff, stable, flex-free shaft.
• Secure attachment of the remote control. Our injection-molded, locking mount system holds the remote securely, greatly reducing the risk of accidental detachment — and possible loss — of your remote.
• Redesigned arm cuff and stand. The shaft comes standard with our all-carbon-fiber arm cuff, with a Velcro strap and adhesive pad. The cuff needs no mounting holes: it clamps onto the shaft with four small marine-grade stainless-steel screws and locking nuts, so it can be mounted anywhere along the upper shaft tube for maximum comfort. It also has a taller, wider stand, to keep the machine in the proper upright resting position.
• Longer length capability. Our shaft is longer than the stock shaft in the handle-to-butt-end dimension (13 1/2" from the bottom-center of the handle to the butt end), AND offers extra handle-to-coil length too. So the arm cuff can sit farther from the handle, and the lower rod can extend farther than the stock shaft allows (maximum extended length 58 1/2") — both more comfortable for tall users.
• Improved balance. Carbon-fiber tubes cut a few ounces from the shaft compared with the stock shaft. But absolute weight is only ONE factor in a comfortable shaft — the other is BALANCE. So after reducing the weight, we redistributed it, adding a few ounces at the butt end of the shaft via a particularly stout, heavy-duty (100% carbon-fiber) arm cuff. The result: the same absolute weight as the stock shaft, but with less weight toward the coil end and more at the butt end — a much better-balanced shaft that makes your Deus easier to swing, particularly on longer hunts.
• Easier access to the remote's buttons. Our handle positions the remote-control mount further “recessed” relative to the handle, putting the remote's face in a more natural position for your thumb — so adjusting settings is easier and more comfortable.
• Less chance of broken mount prongs. Cracked or broken prongs on the mount make the remote fit loosely, so it can come off when bumped — something many Deus users have experienced with the stock shaft. Our locking mount largely eliminates that, and the mount also screws directly into the middle shaft section, so you can remove the remote by simply unscrewing the mount, instead of repeatedly detaching the remote from it. That saves wear and tear on the prongs.

Make it yours

Custom lengths. Our standard shaft is longer than the stock shaft, but the section lengths can be customized — longer or shorter — to suit you. If the stock shaft is more than long enough for you, I can shorten each section, for a customized (and slightly lighter) shaft. If you'd like it even longer than our standard length, I can do that too, with “tall-man” lower rods up to 30" long.

Counterweight-ready option. A threaded female fitting in the butt end of the shaft, capped with a screw-in end cap, lets you attach my optional counterweight system. Our shaft is already better balanced than the stock shaft, but counterweighting is the ultimate solution if you still find the Deus a bit nose-heavy, especially with one of the larger coils.

Inside-the-shaft antenna wire option. Two holes — one in the top of the middle section and one in the bottom of the lower rod, both on the underside of the tubes — let you run the antenna wire inside the shaft.

The price of each option is listed on the Deus II shaft's page.
