So I've been borrowing a buddy's beach scoop for a few weeks that he bought from RTG... I really like it, except For te 5/8" holes...TOO BIG.
I decided to build my own scoop, but I wanted 1/2" holes in the body of the scoop and just 3/8" holes on the bottom. I think this will really help in catching some of the smaller targets that have been eluding the RTG 5/8" scoop holes.
Today, I finished welding the scoop and I'm really happy with it. I added a stainless steel eyebolt at the backside of the handle so I can easily attach a wrist tether strap or whatever. I also made an "extender bar" that can slide into the helper handle when I'm in deeper water so I can reach he helper handle without dunking my head under water.
Now, the only things left to do are to paint the scoop and then rivet my stainless steel tip into place.
Here's some pics...
