This becomes obvious after a few hours swinging your detector through trashy parks or along the beach. The \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/steves-detector-rods\"\u003eSteve's Detector Rods\u003c\/a\u003e carbon fiber construction cuts weight without sacrificing strength, and the consistent surface finish means it looks like it came from Minelab originally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 21-inch middle section and 23.25-inch lower rod provide excellent adjustability for different hunting scenarios. Whether you're working tight spaces around old foundations or covering open fields, you'll find the right length. The proprietary cam lock creates a solid connection that won't slip during use, even in wet conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation takes about five minutes with no special tools required. The middle shaft slides into your existing stock upper and locks with the factory cam mechanism. Steve's cam lock handles the middle-to-lower connection with a secure clamp design that's proven reliable across thousands of detectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis shaft works exclusively with the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/minelab-manticore\"\u003eMinelab Manticore\u003c\/a\u003e and won't fit other detector models.
