Carbon fiber shaft for Simplex+

I got my simplex carbon fiber shaft at Big Boys Hobbies for 39 bucks. The new shaft lightens the detector and stiffens up the shaft wobble that the simplex is known for.
As for a pinpointer save for the Garrett carrot or as a backup I use the Dr Otek. It doesn't make noise though uses vibration and a color changing light to let you know how far away from the target you are. It is water proof and it self ground balances. Pretty good for $50.The carrot it way better in my opinion .

If you can live with the original shaft I would go with a good pinpointer first.

I would definitely get the pinpointer before you invest in the carbon fiber rod. I like my carbon fiber rods but a pinpointer is a must have for me. I have lower rods for both of my coils and they do eliminate any wobble. I also really like the way they look compared to the stock rods.

Thank you all, I did get the Garrett Carrot, super stoked by how awesome it does! Saving up for a carbon fiber shaft with the clad I find!

Thanks,

Good choice!
