Stealth 720i tips for using

[Pull Tab Hunter]

I'm a newbie who will be beach hunting in SW Florida. Can any of you offer advice or tips on how to effectively use a Stealth 720i scoop? I will be hunting wet sand and probably waist deep water. I am awaiting delivery of my scoop and wish to learn from experienced users. Any advice would be helpful !

Thanks,
PTB

The Sunspot Stealth 720i is one sweet scoop. There are many good scoops being sold but i like the 720i because of its huge basket and strength. When you in the surf with waves washing sand back in the hole you have to try to get it out in one scoop.
As for advice on using it, learn how to place your foot near your coil when you have a signal. You don't need to pinpoint it. Place the scoop point near where the back of the coil was and push her in. Hopefully you will have it in the first dig. You'll soon develop your own method by what ever works best for you. I don't just raise the basket up but bring it up in short hops with the handle straight up and let the waves wash out the material. On doing the first scoop, set the scoop on the bottom near the hole and check the hole to see if you got it. If not, dump the scoop and quickly take another bite.

Good luck with the best scoop made.
