A new approach to digging

[Chuck scoops]

Back in the day I developed and produced the Hybrid concept with small holes in the back of my scoop to catch small items. The obvious problem is that "production" is slowed down due to the small holes. My solution to this is to run with all large holes and if 1 in 20 targets are small I snap in an insert to recover them.

That is cool, i have seen the time i could use one of them. When trying to find the back of a ear ring or something like that.

I have a 920 that and welds on the braces are broken. Can I still send it in for repair. Ed

I love the 920 with the hybrid hole pattern. I don't want to carry an extra piece with me when little stuff is in the mix. Even worse in the water where an effort to snap in the extra piece will most probably cause me to get pushed off the target by water movement. The extra price of the hybrid hole pattern is well worth it to me.

The small items insert is easy to carry. I have always used a cut down "radiator coolant" container so I can bring out cans and bottles.

I don't see that working at all well in the water. Insert would be moved off the hook and be on the bottom, cans would be floated out of the container, glass bottles might stay in for a while but as soon as a wave rolls you over, the bottles will be spilled out anyway. Looks like a dry sand set up ... which is where the bottles and cans show up. I find few cans or bottles in the water but the hybrid scoop helps keep me from digging earring backs many times before getting them out of the water and into the pouch.

Thanks for your input. I have been successfully using this type of container like in the picture for over 30 years and tested the hook for months, but, I don't hunt in heavy waves.
