I just got my new E-Trac and a Minelab detector bag (black w/ red logo, not blue w/red band). Tried to put the detector in the bag (fully collapsed of course) and the only way I can make it fit is with about a 90 degree twist in the bag. This doesn't seem right to me. Should I be disassembling the detector?

I have the blue bag and my E-Trac fits in it just fine.
I think the black bag is for a CTX 3030. Maybe it isn't designed to hold an E-trac? I'm not sure. Maybe someone who owns a CTX 3030 can answer better than I can.

You might be right. The black bag has the enlargement for the coil in a vertical position which you can't do with an E-Trac assembled. The picture of the blue bag looks like the enlargement for the coil is in the standard horizontal position. I'll send Bart an e-mail.
Bag? people use those?
Never used one...my etrac and 3030 both stay in my trunk of my car, along with everything else ready to go.

I checked with Bart & he agreed that although the black bag is larger, you have to twist the bag for it to fit.

This all sounds weird to me.
I have both a black and a blue (both w/red), and they're both exactly the same except for the color.
The Best That You Know Is The Best That You've Had
The new black bag was designed for the CTX. It is a bigger bag that the original. I like the new bigger bag, get more stuff in the bag!
