Nox Carbon Fiber Rods

[NCtoad]

I bought the Anderson shaft mainly because he includes a carbon fiber lower rod and a sturdy metal arm cuff.   With the minelab cuff and the anderson rod the weight was almost exactly the same with the minelab rod just very slightly lighter.  With the anderson metal cuff It was slightly heavier than the stock rod, but not noticeable IMO.  I like it because it's rock solid now.  Even though my stock rod seemed tight once I shimmed the cam lock, it still felt like something was loose when swinging.  It might have been the arm cuff (I shimmed with tape too so it was a tighter fit on the rod).  The one thing about the Anderson is that if you use his cuff, there's no built in stand on the underside.  I ended up making one out of nylon round stock and delrin and now I'm very happy with it.
