Many of the stock VLF coils are not designed to flow through the water with little resistance, and the same goes for many of the shafts.
Has anyone been experimenting with ways to reduce the drag when swinging a detector in the water, or even underwater? If so, what were your results?
Some thoughts (questions) about this topic....
1. Assuming you are in waist deep water, how much of the drag is from the coil, and how much is from the shaft?
2. Has anyone created coil covers designed specifically to reduce the drag? How well did it work?
3. Is anyone replacing shafts to reduce the drag? I saw one person that had replaced the stock shaft with a golf club shaft to reduce drag but I am not sure how well it really worked.
There seem to be only a few comments here and there in the forum on this topic, but I am wondering if anyone has more they could share about it.
