I will certainly battle test anything you want tested. One thing to keep in mind is the UV index can hit 11 here in the summer months and that absolutely kills plastics. Overall a very tough climate for anything...

do I need to modify anything to use my handle that has the pinpoint toggle switch
I could be wrong but I think his shaft is smaller, so I am thinking you will need to do his handle. Once I get one I will post pictures. On what is needed to keep the Excalibur better then the Nox and Deus ll.

I have a question re the position of the pod behind the elbow vs under the cuff as shown on your page. That short fatter piece of tubing-is that to connect the pod to the end behind the cuff ?? I also use OBN's PP switch so I guess it would have to be moved to your handle on the thinner shaft. I want one!

X-750 Universal StorkLeg
We are concentrating on shipping our "Universal" X-750 orders today.
The plastic end which connects to your coil is .856" wide and after the tear drop rubber is installed it is .920". I really don't know all the sizes of coil mounts of different manufacturers so we will be doing some special builds for odd sizes. Let us know what you need if different from our standard mount.
The center hole is 1/4"
The spring button is 1/4" diameter.
Please private message me with your full name, address and phone number.
Thanks,
Chuck

Chuck .... If you have to adjust it for length..... is it possible you no longer will be able to use the lock? IE.... i have an Anderson shaft... there is about 17" of the lower sticking out. obviously i can move the lower in or out to adjust it and still lock it because of the snug fit. In this case if i use the stork with the Andersons it appears i would have to cut it to fit then add maybe one of SteveG locks for best results...... am i wrong?

Hi, if it concerns scoops and carbon/metal shafts, then I can also participate in the review (not the fact that I will give all the information publicly, but still ...)I am ready, 2022 is the New page. In fact I was going to purchase one after Christmas, so I'll contact you on that.
Before you posted the Excalibur setup, I had no problems when swinging in the water, you posted.. and now my arm is telling me....get it.

First two questions
Un answered , I have a 3rd. the lower rod set up , I am guessing will not work on plugger solid strait shafts as stated - which have a 3 hole head adjustment just to mention , the lower part of the carbon fiber Plugger- if you were to insert your lower rod the medal part- set up & lock it down even on the last hole it -is not nearly long enough to extend to the end were the lower rod- comes out of the plugger rod , due to your thinner shaft coming out of a larger hole with no support will cause a wobble & stress- it seems that your set up only is made for STOCK shaft set ups , not for custom strait shafts- which most have moved on to , hope in the future you make a behind the cuff set up for the Excalibur's , I do like the CUFF , as if you hunt in the water with the Equinox- you would want metal , but due to leak issues , most don't,- they use the Excalibur , also with the head in the back while water hunting with the Excalibur - in my opinion is better , in most cases your machine is not under water, and is out of the salt water . Good luck with your sales , you should do good with beginner's buying Equinox with the stock shaft , and Excalibur under the cuff user's , however you are leaving a large percentage of both Equinox & Excalibur user's behind , making additional product's , and addressing user's concern's is a positive thing , Merry Christmas Chuck
From the lock pin on the medal to the end , how many inches is it on your shaft lock down , not the entire lenth , just from the pin to the end heading towards the coil 
PS Stavr if thing;s are getting to hot over thier , move to the US , everyone else is , we will welcome you here !

Its more than likely a small problem that can be solved easily. The ones I used to make had the pod mounted behind the elbow and the length behind the elbow was adjustable. Same with the TDI... So if I was using a huge coil I could push the control box further back so it would be better balanced... I made these for people that were getting up there in age/shoulder problems/ etc etc.... and would make $0 profit.

Basically it's just a extention piece that snaps in place , Mine were custom made by plugger , I found it to be better than the under the cuff , not only balanced better , head out of the salt , but less pull on the head phones ,not stretched as much , behind the elbow with a knob guard is in my opinion , my ticket , however no response from Chuck leads me to believe , newbie focus is his out look , first time Excal / Equinox buyers , I can only give him ideas to make everyone happy , wish him the best with his. Sales & happy holidays Chuck.

I'm working with chuck now on a behind the cuff design. I'm sure we will hear more after the holiday. He was working on some measurements.

That is a plus , from the back of the cuff to the head I like a 6 inch gap , it seems your set up starts with the head were the cuff ends , how Chuck can do it is simple hole in the back , extension than the holes for the Excalibur head , he can make a few different sizes , as like I stated , I like a 6 inch gap, from the end of the cuff to the start of the Excalibur head , the extension Chuck can be an extra , Note on my 1000 CF shaft Plugger , i have that 6 inch gap and its very well balanced like that . Not all behind the cuff are the same , what I MEAN is Chuck should be able to make different size longer - extension rear tubes for a custom fit . PS I have an interest in helping Chuck , ONLY for the simple reason my supplier went out of business WILLIAM [ Plugger Rods ] SO custom to fit the hunter's needs , IS THE upmost importance , as I will be in need down the road for equipment at a later date , If he takes info . from hunter's I see his business running hot , like his old scoop business , so I am hoping he is listening , so far no reply , I would also like to know from someone who bought his lower rod , how many inches from the lock button down to the end of the metal , as shown in my previous post .

Looking for some input
I am looking for some input as to the length of an extended handle for the Excalibur. Our standard handle has the detector centered under the cuff.
Our standard "Extended" version is 5.7" (the X dimension) but we are also building a longer option.
So, how much should we move the detector?? (X dimension).
Thank You,
Chuck

Behind the cuff
I like mine 6 inches behind my cuff , I noticed CW3 likes his head starting directly after the cuff , in your pick your cuff is centered in the middle , so what I suggest is just make different size plug in and snap tubes on the end as to customer requests . PS post #31 3rd pick what is the lenth of the metal fiting on your lower rod from the lock in button to the end of the metal , is it at least 4 inches ?
