Iam also looking for a beach and water scope this link is local to me, I live in Stuart and work in west palm. I have been using a shovel and need something in the wet sand and knee deep water. Please let me know your opinions on what you think is the best one with a long handle. thank you in advance.

the GOLD or the RTG PRO look to be about the best...... they seem to have a little bit deeper reach than the others if you dont mind bending over a lot... or try and find the same thing with a handle................. the drag type are not that great because if you have to go deep; and a lot of time you do; they are kind of a pain because you cant get good torque on them like the ones you step on the back of with your foot to push down into the sand

I have thier Kap Hook, i use in dry sand.. i have learned though.. a longer handle is better, as others said.. saves bending.. As for the water i have a "Diamond head scoop 48 " fiber glass handle.. was $ but i would use nothing else in water ever again. shaka Mikey :thumbsup:

ok then any of them should work good. I think the mesh kind may drain the wet sand a little better than just the holes..
