Sand Shark Straight Shaft

[penzfan]

Anyone have an Anderson or other make straight shaft installed on your SS? Just wondering how it works for you and if it is easier to snorkel with it on the SS. Thanks for any input.

Yes I have the Anderson straight shaft on my Tesoro Sand Shark and one on my Fisher CZ-21. In my opinion they are the only way to go. The Sand Shark will be very balanced and easy to swing with a really nice and tight feel. It is worth the $119.00 to do it you won't regret it.

Never snorkeled with my Sand Shark but for beach and surf hunting the 36" straight shaft is again the only way to go.. I think it would be fine for snorkel use with a short end shaft added or the Divers model Anderson short straight shaft set up. This is another straight shaft option from Anderson for the Sand Shark. Take a look at Anderson's web page for the options available. There are 3 straight shaft options for the Sand shark, long, the 36" standard and the short Divers shaft option.

Happy Hunting,

Bill G, Thanks for the pics and insight. I have previously looked at the Anderson site and am still trying to vision each of the 3 shafts available and which one would be the most appropriate.

Penzfan, I've also been looking at straight shaft options for quite a while for my Sand Shark. I'm curios if you've decided on one and if so, how's it working out?

Just purchased one today from another TN member. I'll post my opinion after I have used it.

Wow I like the looks of that straight shaft! I have about worn out the stock shaft and have been trying to decide what to do! It looks good most of my hunting is in shallow to chest deep water in the surf zone. I may have to give it a try!

Bill G thanks for the photo. I have been looking at the dive shaft for my Tiger Shark but couldn't quite picture the setup.

Is that an RFI choke you added on the cord just below the control box?

A small Velco wrap to guide the headphone cord and keep in place.

Received my straight shaft for the SS from Dieselram94 yesterday and installed it today. Gonna test run it Saturday and will let you know how it worked. I had to sand the circumference of the short coil shaft down a bit to get it to fit inside the lower end of the straight shaft.

Probably pulling the Trigger on a anderson straight shaft for my Sand Shark this weekend! Does the anderson straight shaft come with a lower rod for the coil or can you use the one from the factory shaft? Never thought about upgrading it until the factory shaft started getting a wobble and I couldn't fix it.

I used the Shark's lower rod in mine.

I don't have a straight shaft on my Tiger Shark now as a buddy wanted it so I gave it to him and never replaced it. I don't see much reason to change as I think there isn't that much difference unless you opt for the fiber shaft.

Besides better balance, a more comfortable grip, more length versatility and easier storage there is no difference.

For me the difference was slight the way I use it. But I like the straight shaft on the Excals but not the Cz's its a personal preference.
