    This carbon fiber lower shaft dramatically reduces your detector's weight while maintaining maximum durability. Compatible with multiple Nokta series, it's the perfect upgrade for detectorists who want to hunt longer with less arm fatigue.

    Key Benefits

    • Lightweight carbon fiber construction - Reduces overall detector weight for extended hunting sessions

    • Universal compatibility - Works with Simplex, Score, FINDX, and Legend series detectors

    • The Nokta 17000067 is the standard-length carbon fiber lower shaft for Nokta's Simplex, Legend, Score and FINDX detectors. It is the section between the middle shaft and the search coil, and the one that takes the knocks: dropped on rocks, stepped on, caught in brush or bent in a fall. Keep one as a spare or use it to replace a cracked or damaged lower shaft and get back to hunting at the same length your detector came with.

      Who this lower shaft is for

      This part is for owners of a compatible Nokta whose lower shaft is cracked, split, worn at the coil mount, or lost. It is also worth keeping a spare if you travel to hunt, since a broken lower shaft ends a trip.

      If your detector is too short for you even at full extension, buy the longer version instead: the Nokta extended carbon fiber lower shaft (17000652) is 64.5 cm (25.4 in) and fits the same detectors. If you own a Nokta Legend 2 or Nokta Gold Kruzer, this part does not fit; those detectors use their own lower shafts.

      What it does in the field

      • Factory-style replacement. Standard length, so your detector's balance and length settings stay the same as before the damage.
      • Carbon fiber. Light and stiff, and it does not rust after beach or saltwater use.
      • Same mounting points. It takes the place of the original lower shaft between the middle shaft and the coil, so your existing coil carries over.

      What is in the box

      • One Nokta lower shaft, carbon fiber (part number 17000067)

      The search coil, middle shaft, upper shaft and armrest are not included.

      Compatibility

      Nokta lists this lower shaft as compatible with:

      Older models: this shaft was originally sold for the Nokta Simplex+, and it is also listed for the Simplex BT. Both are discontinued and no longer appear on Nokta's current compatibility list.

      Does not fit:

      • Nokta Legend 2 (uses its own lower shaft)
      • Nokta Gold Kruzer and Kruzer (use their own lower shaft)

      Standard or extended lower shaft?

      • This standard lower shaft (17000067): the stock length. Choose it if your detector already fits you and you only need a replacement or spare.
      • Extended lower shaft (17000652): 64.5 cm (25.4 in), for taller detectorists who need more reach to keep the coil flat to the ground. Same compatibility list.

      • Material: carbon fiber
      • Length: standard (factory) length

    Perfect for Active Detectorists

    The Nokta carbon fiber lower shaft transforms your detecting experience by significantly reducing weight without sacrificing strength. Beach hunters appreciate the corrosion resistance, while relic hunters benefit from the improved maneuverability in tight spaces around foundations and fences.

    This upgrade makes a noticeable difference during multi-hour hunting sessions. The reduced weight means less strain on your arm and shoulder, letting you focus on finding targets instead of fighting fatigue. Many detectorists report they can hunt 2-3 hours longer after switching to carbon fiber.

    Should I get the standard or the extended Nokta lower shaft?

    Get the standard Nokta 17000067 lower shaft if your detector already fits you at full extension, and the extended 17000652 lower shaft if you have to bend over or tilt the coil to reach the ground. The extended version is 64.5 cm (25.4 in), and both fit the same Simplex, Legend, Score and FINDX detectors. Both shafts are in our metal detector parts and accessories collection.

    Answered by Richard T. · October 2026

    Does the Nokta carbon fiber lower shaft fit the Gold Kruzer?

    No, the Nokta 17000067 carbon fiber lower shaft does not fit the Gold Kruzer. It is made for the Simplex, The Legend, Score and FINDX detectors, while the Gold Kruzer uses its own lower shaft. Shafts and parts for that detector are in our Nokta Gold Kruzer collection.

    Answered by Dan P. · October 2026

    Can I use the carbon fiber lower shaft in saltwater?

    Yes, the carbon fiber lower shaft can be used in saltwater, since carbon fiber does not rust. Rinse the shaft and the coil bolt with fresh water after each beach or surf hunt so salt does not build up at the mounting points. Detectors and gear for wet sand and surf are in our beach metal detectors collection.
