Only one I used was  the Swingy Thingy a few years ago on my Nox swinging the 15" coil for 5+ hours on the beach. It worked pretty good , but wasn't great. Best result was when I had to wear a backpack for those long hunts with my supplies and it was fine attaching to to the D ring on my strap. For shorter hunts , I would attach it to an "O" ring I installed on my belt. This worked just ok , mainly because of the angle. A few friends ordered them after seeing mine in So.Cal....But I'm looking forward to how this new one might work out.

And where can one of these ingenious queegles be ordered from, and what do they cost? Shipping?

thanks

If you were attaching it to your belt I can imagine it would not work as well.

There are two versions of the Swingy Thingy.  There is the plain Swingy Thingy which just goes over one shoulder and has not padding, and then the Ultra-Swingy that is padded and goes over both shoulders.  I recommend the Regular Swingy for lightweight machines like a Gold Monster and use the Ultra Swingy for heaviest machines or if you detect for more than 4 hours at a time.

Got me one it’s on its way, thanks Doc. 
I’ve made various simple elastic tethers but never fully satisfied with the results. Can’t wait to try the Quipple out on my Xterra pro and Deus 2 with bigger coil. I know neither of these are particularly heavy, but I have bad arthritis and I feel it even on my detectors. I think it’s possible to get nearly zero gravity using a well designed suspension sling. I’ll post my observations of it shortly after I get it.

I've just received mine and have no idea how to attach it to the shaft of the 6000.  There is a long strip of Velcro and a small pad of sticky sided Velcro.  How does this work?  You don't say anything in the video about attaching the bottom element of the bungee unit.  Is it suppose to be self-intuitive and do I need to cut part of the Velcro off??  Looking forward to trying it.

Doc,

   I Was looking at your site today to see if there was a "Coming Soon" announcement for the "Qwipple"! Did I miss it somewhere, or are you waiting for them to be in stock, before listing on site?🍀👍👍

Sorry trying to get out orders in a timely manner and have not had a chance to write instructions as of yet.

Here is my suggestion.  DO NOT peel the adhesive off the VELCRO.  Instead remove the entire piece of Velcro® with the adhesive back protection in place and set it aside.

We are going to wait until you decide where you like the shaft adjustment device positioned.  That might be high or low on the rod, or on the top of the rod or slightly to the left or right.

So take the rod attachment device, and remove the shock cord out of the side groove, so you don't have to monkey with that while installing the rod attachment device.

Place it on the rod with the opening of the V groove facing down So turn a "V" upside down and that is the way you want it.

The adjustment part naturally faces out and the interior curved part faces the rod.  Hold it in place and take the strap and thread it through the empty slot bring it back overlapping the strap and attaching the Velcro to itself..

Now you can put the bungee back in the removal slot and start playing with how you feel you would like the rod adjustment device positioned.

Once you have swung your detector for a while and you are happy with the position, then remove the rod adjustment device, but the adhesive backed Velcro back on the opposing patch that is on the strap, peel off the back of the adhesive and stick it to the rod exactly where you have determined you like it positioned.  Reattach the rod adjustment device with the strap as before and you are all set.

The Velcro patch is there to keep the device in the position you have chosen and keeps it from rotating on the rod.

So here is a picture of how I positioned it on my Gold Monster.  I swing right handed so I adjust the length of the bungee with my left hand, so I like the rod adjustment to be tilted to the left side of of the rod where it is easily accessible.



Hope that helps.
