    Anyone have a solution for "floppiness"?????? Help

    Dear Garrett if you are reading this! It is so frustrating! We have finally received the solid coil covers, great. Used a few times, absolute pain in the butt! Fills up with sand (so cut holes in it). Now to top it off, the coil (sandard) flops around. I can imagine you guys / other...

    questions about hunting in the surf!

    hi guys I have done really well with the atx in the water in the last 6 months, albeit normally in calm seas, snorkelling etc. I normally, rightly or wrongly have the detector reset to defaults, add discrim to 3 or 4, sensitivity on 9 or 10 and are fine. If you bump the coil, you will have...

    Uptake of the ATX

    Is it me - or does it seem the ATX is still to gain popularity? I have seen a few of the machines advertised on here near new for $1550 - $1600. I know the machine is HEAVY, and the shaft is, well, a pain to maintain...aside that it has GREAT depth and seems reliable. The ATX has really...

    Quick hunt after work Sunday. 2 hours at a local beach. Whilst a very nice day - with little wind there was an onshore swell and the water was murky with clay! Many parts of the beach the sand was stripped away exposing the slippery clay base. Spent a few hours knowing there must be a...
