Letrap don't really work that way, strange as it might sound. Dono about the AM dredges haven't seen one yet. I could imagine it looking something a Dahlke though.

Not to change subject but I'd like to know about the 456 series.

well right now I'm leaning towards a 2.5" keene float dredge I just don't like carpet and riffles trying to find someone that has gold hog matts in the dredge and recomondation's between the two?

I use vortex matting instead of carpet in my Keene and I love it! A quick pull and rinse and ready to go again! Catches the fines and usually find more oro than others dredging along side me. Do need to clean up a little more often due to the extra black sand it catches, but worth it!

I'm using riffles and vortex. Some might say use miners moss, but I always find more than the others. I'm that guy in my club that everyone wants to team up with on outings! Lol!!!
