Your clam gun design made it possible for my wife with her fragile back to continue razor clamming with me. Thank you!

This guy's cardio is clamming.

The vent to release suction is one of the best things anyone has added to the old standby clam gun.

Great info about how the low tide is actually an hour earlier on the beach than it is on the tide tables. I'd never heard that anywhere else, but I've frequently noticed that at the beach itself.

Newbie here. Used a PVC gun first weekend. Got the bug and bought a claminator for second weekend. What a difference! Totally hooked

This is awesome Murff! I need one of those on the east cost for Cape Cod razor clams. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I went to Sunset Beach last week with a shitty aluminum gun and my hands were stained gray for over a day. Me and the lady got 24 but we were also backbroken by the end of it. I'll look in to your product!

Grew up on the coast and ive never gone after razor clams. I'm old and fat now and the thought of digging gapper clams in the bay sounds like a disaster😂. I'll have to go try this....

Cheers to the thumper, made one and just got back to back limits on two days in about a half hour, each day. I only got one out of the 30 without it. Almost felt like I was cheating!

That would be 5degree top handle of gun tilt away from the water

The pounder that he's using is available at Englunds in Astoria for only $15. May be the best bargain in all my sporting life. You can fill it up with sand to make it really heavy. The clams retreat and make shows very reliably if you do that. And you can also use it to brace yourself against oncoming waves in heavy surf.
