Steve's carbon rods solve the weight issue while actually improving rigidity. The upper shaft's one-piece construction stops that annoying wobble you get with stock shafts after some use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lower rod design is clever - it's slightly longer than factory but keeps the spring button in the same spot. This means more rod stays inserted in the middle section when you adjust length, creating a more stable connection. You get better balance without changing how your \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/minelab-equinox-series\"\u003eMinelab Equinox metal detector\u003c\/a\u003e feels in your hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese rods work with both Equinox 600 and 800 models. The cam lock and clevis connections match factory specs exactly, so installation is straightforward. The rubber end cap and washers are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLooking for individual components?
