I own a 5X8 DD coil and don't understand why some members would want to use it as there main coil for hunting verse the 8.5X11.
I use the 5x8 because it is lighter than the . I did lose some depth, but not alot. I'm stickin' with the 5x8 for most of my hunting.....however when I need all the depth I can get, I'll switch to the stock coil.

The 5x8 is a good coil, but I consider the 8.5x11 better for over all use, the 5x8 has it usage for hunting in extreme circumstances but not for everyday usage.
I have been running the 5x8 for about a month and find/feel it has cut down about 25% of the chatter, eased the pinpointing, and cost little or no depth ?? cant prove that but feel it// I would like to set up a good test of the 2 coils /// Perry
