Short answer -- whatever length you want them to be! I will build them custom for you.
Longer answer -- my "standard" rods are 26" long, as compared to 24 1/4" for the stock Minelab rods. HOWEVER, that does NOT mean you have 1 3/4" of extra "adjustment length," on my STANDARD rod. Like I said, I can build the rod to any length you want, and give you any extra amount of adjustment length you might want. BUT -- on my standard rod, the extra 1 3/4" length is BEYOND the spring button position, at the "top" of the rod. Said differently, my spring button position, and Minelab's, are IN THE SAME PLACE, relative to the bottom of the rod (i.e. 22 3/4" from the bottom of the rod -- please see the picture, below...)
Why did I include the extra 1 3/4" BEYOND the button? For a bit of extra stability; in other words, no matter WHAT extension length you choose/which button hole you use, you will have an extra 1 3/4" of lower rod remaining inside the middle rod, as compared to if you were using the Minelab lower rod. This extra length of rod remaining within the middle rod will theoretically allow a bit of extra stability -- especially if you are a person that likes to extend your rod to the maximum extension length. More lower rod left inside the middle rod = a bit more "stability."
BUT, to reiterate, I can make your rod whatever length you want, and put that spring button in any position you want. If you need a "tall man" rod, I can do that. If you want the rod EXACTLY like Minelab's rod, i.e. 24 1/4" long, with the button located 22 3/4" from the bottom of the rod, I can do that too. Custom design is no problem!
Hope that helps, and THANKS for your interest, vferrari!

Rest assured, though, your place in line is "secure," and you will have two rods from the next batch...
