Minelab Lower Fiberglass Pole for Eureka, GPX, and Older models

Restore the structural integrity and precise balance of your metal detector with the genuine Minelab Lower Fiberglass Pole. Whether you are replacing a worn out rod that has developed field wobble or carrying a dependable backup shaft for remote expeditions, this original factory part ensures a secure, rigid connection between your upper shaft assembly and the search coil.

Eliminate Target Interference and False Signals

The lower pole of any high performance detector must be entirely non metallic. This factory original Minelab rod is constructed from premium grade, heavy duty fiberglass. By utilizing non magnetic materials directly adjacent to your search coil, the pole completely eliminates electromagnetic feedback and false targeting signals. This allows your machine to operate at maximum sensitivity, achieving deep ground penetration without interference from its own hardware.

Expert Field Installation and Care Tips

When swapping out your lower shaft, ensure that the rubber washers on your coil ears are clean and free of fine sand grit before inserting the friction bolt. Over tightening the coil bolt can stress plastic housing ears, so tighten it just enough to eliminate coil flip during your swing. To extend the life of your fiberglass pole, always rinse the lower assembly with fresh water after hunting in salt water or muddy fields. This prevents abrasive sediment from grinding down the connection points over time.

Complete Your Field Outfitting Setup

A stable shaft system is critical for clean target signals, but maximizing your recovery speed requires the proper retrieval gear. To cleanly extract targets from rocky gold fields or hard packed terrain, pair your renewed setup with our heavy duty shovels, diggers, and picks.
