Garrett 5X8 DD Pro Series coil options

Snuffy · Feb 15, 2015

I see where some sellers offer the option of a lower rod and attach hardware.
Is this worth the extra $$? Does it make coil changes easier?

Thanks,
Snuffy

Sure does make it easier. Also not really expensive either. I have spare lower rods for all my Garrett coils and I have almost a dozen of them.

Ok the seller I saw was less than $25.00 for that including a coil cover. I may get a 5x8 at a later date.

Thank you.

Depends on how much you wind up changing coils. Its a pretty safe bet that most dont change them out often and there are a lot who really never change coils at all. If you wind up rarely ever changing coils then you really wont benefit much at all by having the extra lower rod , unless you just want to spend the money.

It speeds up changing coils. I change coils to match the ground conditions that I am hunting in.

Agree w/this completely. In my experience, it takes less than a minute to swap out a coil.

The big time saver on the ATP would be an easier connection between the coil wire and the control box housing.
