any new scoop recommendations?

[coconutz]

I went hunting today for about an hour and only found 1-dime & a few pennies, and, my trusty scoop decided to come apart. I mainly hunt the beaches, wet sand, and shallow water; any recommendations for a new scoop?

My first instinct is to search Kellyco.....

Here's mine

Here's mine. A customized long-handle scoop, so you can use with a single arm, and never have to bend over. No more stoop labor The fellow I bought this from (who helped with the individual spec's, for my eventual project) sells on ebay. His listings are under "borderlineengineering", and he does a good product.

I have used many and found the Sunspot Stealth the best for every bottom material. Stealth beach scoop

myself and a bunch of my hunting friends and partners use RTG pro aluminum 6"
I use the travel breakdown model - they take a beating

I think the Best scoop out right now is the 720, but you have to be ready for the weight of it and the amount of wetsand she can move. Next would be Starv's, ron's T-Rex and the RTG like casper mentioned all very strong.
The scoop I use is the Best for me, but may never make it to the public, been 3 years coming. Diablo, 13+ long, 7 wide. fiber glass handle..3 lbs. 10 oz...Alum 2025, then the titanium model..at 3 lbs. 14oz.. ...

Tom. with your arm in the cuff, how do you reach in and remove the target from the basket? Maybe that thing is shorter than it looks and you can reach it with your detector hand?

Mark,
Yes, I'm able to reach in the basket. I have made some videos of the scoop in usage, and will eventually get them posted to You-tube. When I do, I will post the links to this beach forum.

I am waiting on the Titanium model too OBN.

As you can see lots of choice for scoops. Now that you have gone through one scoop, study each of the recommended scoops then decide which one will work best for your hunting needs and has the strongest points for those needs. Personally after using several diffident scoops I prefer a top mounted scoop handle and a 20 degree angle, but that is for my type of hunting.

I have it set in my head to make my own sand scoop. I'll let you all know how it turns out..…

I also love the 720. When I first saw it I laughed. But now I'm used to the weight. Get little back spasms now and then but, oh well!!!

Goldringseaker, I have seen these on ebay and they look just like a Stavro, but they are cheaper to buy. I had to pay via Western Union for my Stavro, how did you have to pay to Latvia?? I might buy an Indiana too.

 

[coconutz]

Thanks all! I've been checking them all.......
