Replace a bent, dented or worn middle rod with this genuine Nokta aluminum middle shaft (17000637). It is the same part that ships on the Nokta Kruzer, Gold Kruzer and Makro Racer series, so your detector keeps its original length, balance and swing feel.
Key Features
- Genuine Nokta OEM part: matches the stock middle shaft for a factory fit with your upper and lower shafts
- Lightweight aluminum: keeps the detector light to reduce arm fatigue on long hunts
- Black finish: matches the rest of the stock stem
- Durable build: stands up to regular field use in parks, beaches and rough prospecting ground
- Same length adjustment as stock: connects to your existing stem, so you set the length the same way you did with the original rod
When to Replace Your Middle Shaft
The middle shaft takes a lot of abuse. It gets knocked against rocks, stepped on and bent when the detector is dropped or packed in a vehicle. A bent rod throws off your swing and can stress the coil cable and connections. Swapping in a new stock shaft returns the detector to factory condition, whether you are coin shooting in parks or prospecting rough gold ground.
