Popular Post kac Posted May 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2022 So always bugged me how the tiny stuff falls through scoops which is no big deal when your on land but when your wading it is damn near impossible to get an earing to the surface. Printed this on my 3d printer in ABS and used some double face mounting tape to hold it. So far it works perfectly for what I want. Here are the earings I found along with a tiny gold teddy bear, jade rose earing that has part of the back on it. Also tiny split shot. Signal on split shot can bounce a little but I dig them anyways to be sure. On another note, same pond I found a monster size 13 titanium ring. Tonight a guy and his fiance asked if I found a large titanium ring with a groove in the area and described it to a t. I was able to return that. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Thanks for the update as I have been thinking about how it worked out. I would like to print me one of those on my printer also. Nice catch on the small stuff. Good luck on your next hunt. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F350Platinum Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Now that's "sweating the small stuff"! Nice job Kac. 👍 I generally won't move on until I retrieve a small target, that insert saves time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only thing I would change on this is the lip could be straight across or even reverse the curve. It's thin enough that it doesn't seem to make any difference. Attached below is the one you see there that fits RTG basket scoops with 61mm inside radius.

F350Platinum Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 It's a great feeling when you think of something, make it, and go out and use it successfully. Got it right the first time. 👍 Hasn't happened an awful lot to me. 🤔 Really cool invention. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kac Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share Posted June 1, 2022 I'm sure there can be tweeks but I am happy with the 4mm triangle holes. Those really are working well. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvpopeye Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Customizing a tool to work better in your application 👍 The bottom of my T Rex has smaller holes like that built in ! I've seen some scoops with huge holes too . Variety = everybody happy....well , most everybody anyway... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrous Bueller Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 That's awesome. What tool did you use to measure the radius? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
