Minelab GPX 4500/4800/5000 Glass-Fiber Lower Rod
Glass-fiber lower for the GPX 4500/4800/5000 family.
Our standard lower rod for the GPX 4500 / 4800 / 5000 is the upgrade we wanted for our own machines. The upper includes 4 cuff-adjustment holes and a control-box mounting hole in the same positions as the factory shaft — this is a drop-in, not a conversion.
The heavy-duty cam lock is injection-molded nylon, not ABS. It's stronger, it doesn't slip, and the camming surface is machined to lock flush so you don't get rod rotation under load. End caps are injection-molded plastic with an interference fit — no glue, no rattle.
Every complete shaft ships with one standard-length lower rod. Need an extra lower? Contact us for the add-on pricing. Need a custom length? Select “Tall Man” and specify up to 30".
- 1× upper shaft (3K twill carbon-fiber, glossy)
- 1× standard-length lower rod
- 1× heavy-duty cam lock (nylon)
- 1× injection-molded end cap
- All stainless-steel hardware
This is the same build I run on my personal GPX 4500 / 4800 / 5000. If you have an odd configuration — unusual cuff position, specialty coil, rare battery pack — email me. I'll build around it.
