Thought I'd give a little update on the Anderson Travel Shaft I've been using now for 6 months. I bought this shaft only because Pete had on sitting on the side due to it being the wrong length. I'm 6'1" and wanted a longer than normal shaft and he mentioned he had a travel shaft that was a few inches longer than the norm so I jumped on the chance to get a longer shaft. I had every intention of just using this as my everyday shaft and had no real reason to break it down until the hurricane down here in Florida. I needed to bug out and didn't want to leave the CTX behind so I went about taking it apart I know some are concerned that this shaft will lock up and not be able to be disassembled after use but I've used this shaft almost daily for 6 months and only rinse the machine off after use....it hadn't been apart for 6 months and came apart with no trouble. Another plus to this shaft (and probably the one piece shaft) is the Carbon Fiber shaft is approximately 5 mils greater in diameter than the stock Minelab shaft material..... where the Minelab shaft will slip after a few months of use in the water, the Anderson shaft with those few extra mils does not slip. (Yeah, I lean on my machine for support when digging....bad habit)
Thought those that travel may feel a bit more at ease knowing you should have no problems using the Anderson Travel shaft for trips or for an every day shaft on the machine.
