Overview
Advantages for our quick connect setup are speed, positive engagement (a quick click and the rod is locked into place), no oxygen leaks, and easy removal (no more pulling a hot rod stub from the collet).
Another benefit for all our maritime users is the quick connect tips are aluminum so won’t corrode/rust. When put on the rods at the time they go on the boat, the rest of the rod may rust from exposure while the tips stay clean and functional. (We’ve talked to customers who have had to clean rod ends so they fit the collets. That should become a thing of the past.
