I just bought myself an RTG aluminum scoop for Christmas. I get tired of lugging around my stainless one when hunting the wet sand and my dry sand wire mesh scoop is way too lightweight. So, my stainless scoop has a wood handle and I simply drilled a hole in the end and use a rope tether with a carabiner and clip it onto my belt. The new RTG has an aluminum tube handle with a plastic grip and I'm I'm not sure of the best way to attach a tether to the end of the scoop. Could you guys show me what you use? Thanks and Happy New Years and HH.

I have never used a tether for my scoop since I was usually in the water and don't let go of it. If I stumbled into a rip tide I could let go of it if I needed too. But on the other hand I had a short tether on the MD shaft so it remained up right for easy reach. What you show in the picture is nice but that is no Sunspot Stealth scoop.

Hope your new scoop work out for you. I just tie a knot under the plastic handle secured by a wrap of tape. Happy New Year DC !!
