The threaded insert lets you attach a counterweight for heavy coil setups, while the included end cap keeps things clean when detecting with standard coils.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 34 7\/8\" length matches stock dimensions, so your Equinox fits the same but feels noticeably lighter in your hands. Four adjustment holes give you the same cuff positions as the original Minelab shaft, and the injection-molded cam lock provides years of reliable field use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you're swinging a lightweight coil for coins or planning to balance out a large search coil for deeper gold hunting, this shaft adapts to your detecting style. The carbon fiber construction resists dings and scratches better than aluminum while cutting significant weight from your setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"font-bold\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul class=\"list-disc pl-4\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eLength: 34 7\/8 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeight: 4.81 oz (136g)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaterial: 3K twill carbon fiber with glossy finish\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eCam lock: Injection-molded nylon\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnd cap and insert: Delrin plastic\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eColors: Black, Red, Blue, Green\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatibility: Minelab Equinox 600 and 800\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eLooking to upgrade other parts of your Equinox?
