here is my homemade highbanker i built out of some spare aluminum and other materials around my house and my proline stream sluice. since i am new to the field of highbanking i am wondering if anyone more experienced notices any issues with the design? any advice would be great, i plan on using it asap when the creeks thaw out.

Looks good.

you may have trouble raking rocks off the grizzly with the bottom spray bar there, but if you do that's easily changed.

Good job, good luck.

looks like it oughta work fine! on my old HB spray bar i made a cleanout for sand and gravel inside of the PVC tubes, because itll eventually get sand in there and theyll get stuck in the spraybar holes.

I like the 360 angle for the spray bars. I just may have to experiment with that. And russau is right on about a clean out required...and something to poke in the holes would be handy too.:icon_thumleft:

how is your spray bar cleanout constructed? i have been worried about how to get sand and other debris out of the bars when it does start to clog up.
