Description

This is the rod most crews should be buying. Carbon fiber is great until somebody backs the truck over it. Aluminum takes the abuse, costs less, and at 2.4 pounds this one is still light enough to carry all day without thinking about it.

The snap-loc collar is what separates this from the bargain-bin rods. It clicks in at a true 2.0 meters and holds there. No creep, no re-checking your antenna height every twenty shots. The compression lock backs it up when you're running at a different height, and the 10ths graduations on the outer pole mean you read that height straight off the rod instead of guessing or taping it.

The fluorescent green finish sounds like a gimmick until you're looking for your rod in tall grass at the end of the day, or your instrument man is trying to track you against a treeline. It's the easiest rod on a jobsite to spot, period.

The vial is a 20-minute circular, and it's adjustable. Every vial drifts eventually. When this one does, you calibrate it in the field and keep working instead of living with bad plumb or buying a new rod.

Standard 5/8 x 11 thread takes any GNSS receiver or prism assembly you've got. The point is replaceable, so when you've worn it down on a few hundred setups, you swap the tip instead of the rod.

Ships with a soft carrying case.

If you want the lightest rod money can buy, get carbon fiber. If you want the rod that survives the crew truck and still reads true in five years, this is it.
