Steve's Detector Rods' CarbonPro line of Detector Shafts is a line of high-quality, 100% carbon-fiber shafts, designed for the
Minelab Equinox 600/800. Our CarbonPro shafts utilize the identical, tried-and-true "Steve's Detector Rods" Equinox shaft design, and are
assembled using the exact same parts and materials produced by the exact same suppliers I've always used. The only difference between a "CarbonPro-branded"
shaft, and a "Steve's-branded" shaft of the same configuration, is that the CarbonPro line is factory assembled -- by one of my most trusted carbon-fiber
tube producers. After factory production is complete, the shafts are sent to my shop where they are individually inspected, and then packaged for sale and shipment.
The reasons for, and benefits of, our CarbonPro line of shafts are two-fold...
1. Having a factory-assembled line of "standard-configuration" Equinox 600/800 shafts, allows us to focus our own time
on hand-building the more complex shaft configurations, and on the custom builds that many customers request -- under the "Steve's
Detector Rods" brand name.
2. With the CarbonPro line being factory assembled, this allows us to offer these shafts at a very competitive price point.
The CarbonPro line of shafts is a "standard" configuration shaft -- i.e. not "counterweight-ready." They are available in red/black
color (see the picture at the bottom of the page), and can be purchased as a complete set (upper and lower shaft), OR upper shaft only (with the upper shaft
fully compatible with the factory Minelab lower rod). Of course, CarbonPro lower rods are also available separately, for folks who wish to
have an extra lower rod available for each of their accessory coils.
**PLEASE NOTE -- lower rods are NOT compatible with the factory Minelab shaft, as CarbonPro
lower rods do not include a spring button pin, which is necessary for use with the factory Minelab shaft**
