Teknetics/Bounty Hunter lower rod interchange?

[Dirtslinger]

Has anyone tried using a bounty hunter lower rod on a Teknetics machine yet? They sure look identical in pictures, I see there is a substantial price difference, nearly half price.

So, for $9.95, I tried it. It works, screwed the factory coil on, snapped it right in and saved myself $15.

Sweet! I assumed it would work, but that is good to know. Thanks for the info.

You're welcome! I forgot to mention that this rod is a 26" rod compared to the stock 20". It will easily fit into the stock dimensions my delta and gamma were set at for a 5'10" dude. My wife swings the delta in the same slot as me, and she's 5'6".

Maybe the BH ones are made in China - hence the price difference as FT stated that they get BH detectors made there

Could be, there wasn't a country of origin on the package, so it's possible. I was pretty disappointed nobody knew if it would work or not. I read somewhere that it would work on a Tesoro with a modification, but couldn't find out if it work on teknetics machine.
