Long handled beach scoops

Hi, looking for opinions on long handled beach scoops. I'm gonna need one by labor day, and wanted to start doing the research. I'm looking for opinions on best, and best value. I do not dive, this is wading only, fresh and salt. In advance thank you for all input. Artie

Hi there, I live in the uk, but I bought my sand scoop from the USA. It's called a full metal jacket. The handle splits in half for transport, it cost about 100 dollars. It is the best bit of kit I've bought, it makes it SO much quicker recovering items in soft and even hard packed sand. It has paid for itself countless times, and it still looks like new. If you find bending down tricky or you are recovering whilst wading it is essential. Try searching for full metal jacket sand scoop and have a look. Good luck

If your hunting real real soft sand, a regular sand scoop will work. There are scoop models out there that have tips on them. RTG can add a SS tip to any of theres. They don't charge more. Pro scoop an Sunspot all have kind of a pointed tip to it. Choice is yours. Id go with the biggest bucket you can find. Clad teatered on its side can be difficult to pinpoint. And after you miss your first try, you gotta repinpoint it because it moved. So getting it in one scoop is important. Hope this helps. Any one of those vendors will ship to you by august no problems. I would ask just to make sure. I would also order by the end of the week. HH an GL. -Joe

The add that flashes at the top is a good place to buy.

I bought mine at Kellco's a few years ago.
Just google scoops and you'll get plenty of hits.

After you have tried the straight handle scoops think about the advantages of a bent handle scoop.
