RTG was bruising the balls

Finnerman · Aug 28, 2012

of my feet so I modded it with a bit of PCV and some wire ties. I wear flip flops while detecting at the beach and they have medium thick soles but the arced top ridge on the scoop was killing me. It was very uncomfortable to walk for days after a long day of beach detectin'. I now have used the modded RTG on 2 trips to beach and no more sore balls (of my feet).

This mod works great by the way.

Good idea, gotta try it on mine. My scoop made a hole in my water shoes.

Odd, my flat-bottom RTG has never caused any foot pain for me.

On a side note, you need to ditch the flippy floppies for detecting. Get yourself a pair of scuba diving boots with the hard soles.

Agree with on the scuba shoes but in eastern NC flip flops are standard issue.

I had the exact same problem until I put the kicker on the back.
