Sand scoop with Handle

demyansk1942 · May 23, 2017

I did a search for scoops and a lot of information out there. I am wondering about a sand scoop with a decent size handle that I can just use my foot to push down and scoop the sand. However, I noticed some are better for wet and dry sand. What do you guys think?

Are you beach hunting dry and wet sand, just dry sand, shallow water to your neck hunting or sand and rocks?

I have a scoop that has a small handle but probably more dry sand

probably.........theres the word. Big difference if you plan on doing any wet sand/oat meal and water hunting. You can get a cheaper scoop designed just for dry sand.... like one of the RTGs. But if you plan on hunting closer to the water you need one thats going to hold up to that CONCRETE like sand.

a good stainless or heavy duty aluminum RTG style scoop should hold up to the stressors of digging in the wet sand.

Unfortunately, many of the thin basket, small scoops pictured below are not designed to take pressure when you apply your foot to digging. Often times, the baskets welds will break and/or the weld where the handle meets the scoop. Basically, for those scoops, the only way to prevent them from breaking is to only apply as much force as you can with your arm...and not use your foot.

Here ya go

Left side to right , light duty dry sand ------> to wet-----> water RTG scoops to Stealth's , the heavier duty you go costs are a lot more, also all the bells and whistles , like carbon fiber handles are even more money, finding the wright scoop for your exact need's , most likely not, just like detector's, mutable equipment for different hunting need's is more efficient , happy hunting, Earl

I like heavy wood handles. I beach hunt and dig in some heavy shell. I weigh about soaking wet with a pocket full of rocks. So I like Sunspot 721i with their wooden handle.

Thanks guys for this excellent information. Very valuable and hard to decide but I will get one.

I like the picture above with the handle that is not attached, what kind is that?
