scoop question for freshwater hunters

I would love to get a 790 but my main scoops are no where near worn out.
I prefer 90 degree scoops.
Its funny... I can't stand 90 degree scoops
I love my 20 degree scoop... I started water hunting with a 90 but I sold it to a friend..

I use mine to drag targets to me a lot. That's the main reason I use a 5 foot long handle.
I pull things up from deep water drop off's and pull stuff out from under docks and piers.
I am kinda crazy though.

1 of my ideas in the workshop is a cf scoop. Steel or titanium in the places that actually come in contact with solid friction/ contact with sand or rocks.
By my calculations weight would come in at about 1/2lb. Will take a sizeable initial investment to get it rolling though with proper trial and error allowance

after consideration now I am thinking maybe a 90 degree scoop would be better as I could push the bottom with my foot and get more leverage on the scoop.
With some practice you can reach a 90 degree scoop out in front of you, push and pull it back and forth to dig a hole and then turn and pull it toward yourself to scoop up what you heard.
I used that method to recover an unusually strong foil signal out in water that was well over my head. It turned out to be the most expensive ring I ever found.

I sold it to a nice young couple who are married now. Here it is on her hand.
Here it is right after I found it.
