While it's slightly longer at 26 inches, the spring button clip stays in the same position (22 3\/4\" from the end). This means more of the lower rod remains inserted in the middle section when adjusted to the same length as your factory rod.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is noticeably better stability and reduced flex - especially important when you're working trashy sites or trying to pinpoint targets precisely. The \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/steves-detector-rods\"\u003eSteve's Detector Rods\u003c\/a\u003e carbon fiber construction uses a durable twill pattern that holds up to regular use while keeping weight down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis upgrade pairs well with other \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/minelab-equinox-series\"\u003eMinelab Equinox accessories\u003c\/a\u003e and works perfectly with all standard Equinox search coils.
