Our "standard" complete shaft for the Minelab Equinox 600/800 includes one standard-length (26") lower rod, along with our standard upper shaft. The upper shaft includes 4 cuff-adjustment holes, and one hole for the control-box handle (in the same positions as the stock Minelab shaft). The shaft also includes a heavy duty, adjustable, removable clamping cam lock, and a plastic end cap.

Additional lower rods can be purchased with any complete shaft, at a special add-on price of $55 (black)/$65 (colored).
