GPX Carbon Rods?

Thanks Lunk. How goes the gold hunting in  Arizona?

I highly recommend Doc's Carbon Fiber shaft for the GPX 5000. The stock upper aluminum shaft weighs 7.4 ounces and the Carbon Fiber shaft weighs 4.3 ounces. It doesn't sound like much difference in weight, but every little ounce shaved off counts and I also do not have an aluminum shaft above the coil causing the machine to lose sensitivity and other issues. -Mike

I purchased a carbon fiber upper from Rob, I like it. It's sturdy, reduces weight and reduces the amount of metal on my detector. Reasonable cost, I  think it is a good up-grade.
