Tarsacci MDT 8000 Two-Piece Carbon-Fiber Lower Shaft

Our two-piece lower shaft assembly for the Tarsacci MDT 8000 detector features "Steve's" heavy duty, adjustable, removable clamping cam lock, to connect the middle and lower shaft sections. This shaft assembly attaches to your stock Tarsacci upper S-shaft, using the Tarsacci upper cam lock. One primary benefit of this shaft, is that the middle and lower sections are of smaller diameter than the stock shaft sections -- meaning substantially reduced hydrodynamic drag, when used in water/surf. This shaft can also be made in custom lengths, including "tall-man" lower rods.

Because that cam lock clamps the shaft sections directly, there is no need for a lower-rod spring button and pin -- and therefore no need for button holes in the middle shaft. Your lower-rod length is adjustable to any position, rather than only the preset holes of a stock shaft, and removing or installing a lower rod is far less tedious.

Additional lower rods can be purchased, at a special add-on price of $45. No additional shipping will be added, if the extra lower rods are purchased at the same time as the lower shaft assembly.
