Murff's Claminator - Stainless Steel Clam Guns
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 9 มิ.ย. 2018
Hi, my name is Dale Murff. I was born and raised in Oregon and grew up enjoying fishing, hunting and recreating in the wonderland that is the Pacific Northwest. In 1999, my wife, Julie, and I built a vacation home in Astoria and eight years later we made it our full-time residence. It is here, on the North Coast of Oregon, where I fell in love with clamming for razor clams. OK...maybe I became a little obsessed with it.
After destroying a few clam guns and shovels, from heavy use, I decided to try making my own. My goal was to make a clam gun that would hold up to the kind of punishment that I put one through. The result of my initial experiments, and subsequent improvements, is the best clam gun available and one that I'm proud to put my name on. Since then, we have also released, what I feel are, the finest clam shovels you can buy.

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.
Love mine here in NH
Buy one get one half off?
Great job how fun and delicious
Great job dad spending time with your kids amazing seeing their face expression when they finally can do it all by themselves she will never forget this day
She is my granddaughter 😊. And she is all about fishing, hunting, she'd hunting ect. 😊😊

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!
How long is the barrel ??
We build these clam guns in several tube lengths. Standard size is 14". We also have a longer "Mocrocks" version that has an 18" barrel. Our smallest, 28" clam guns, have 12" barrels. The clam gun that Dale is using in this video is the Murff's Claminator Mocrocks with the 18" barrel. You can check out all of the sizes at www.theclaminator.com
I purchased and used The Claminator. Great product.
This is the most expensive clam gun on the market and you have to go buy a washer to fix it? That's ridiculous. The should come with the washer already installed. I think I'll stick with the clamhawg they work right out of the box.
Thanks for your comment. Just to clarify, our clam guns come fully working, right out of the box. Occasionally we have a customer report trouble with the valve at the end of their vent tube getting clogged up. That could be due to the kind of sand they are digging in or how dry/wet it is. Keeping the valve rinsed after every couple holes in a tide pool or in the surf usually keeps it clear as well. One customer of ours put a small O-ring on his valve and it seemed to resolve his clogging issues. We just passed on this tip to anyone else that may be experiencing similar issues. Happy clamming!
i am going to chime in also, as with any high end tool, you should take care appropriately, to keep it working well. This is a mechanical device to be used in a salt/sand environment, keeping the valve clean will allow minimal troubles while making your digging experience top notch, if your happier with a clam hawk, by all means use a clam hawk, All the guns will dig clams, some are manufactured better than others and will require more delicate use to keep from breaking, or more exertion to obtain the end result! We might have to work self washing mechanism, but that will add to the cost which we strive hard to keep as competitive as possible. Thanks for your input! Dale Murff Owner @@murffsclaminator
Something I always wanted to do in Southern California but I don’t know where. Special license needed?
Your clam gun design made it possible for my wife with her fragile back to continue razor clamming with me. Thank you!
Will the type used for ghost shrimp work?
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
Any beach recommendations?
i typically hit the northern end of Clatsop beaches -- either the fort stevens or sunset beach approach. Lots of nice sand bars this year that should provide great digging once the ocean lays down a bit and we get some good tides.
Classic video and fantastic footage Alto And great presentation Russ
This is awesome Murff! I need one of those on the east cost for Cape Cod razor clams. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
i send a good amount of guns to the eastern seaboard -- Florida to Maine --- spread the word, you can order off the website and discounted shipping rates apply!
Headed to the Beach SOON with one of your NEW Guns......... Hope the weather holds for a few more weeks.
I want to buy that deck knife.
Very informative on cleaning thank you. Your making me hungry Murff.
Really nice. Thanks for sharing
Very nice! Good job
What a waste of flavour Eat the whole thing
Great video on how to clean Razor clams Murff....
how do i tell if its a clam hole and not an air bubble
Great question! Honestly, it is a bit of trial and error. Dig it and see what comes up! Sometimes you get a lot of mole crabs (sand fleas) that look like clam holes. The razor clam "show" can look different depending on the day, sand, depth, size, etc. Some look like just a small hole a bit smaller than a dime. Others look like little volcanos. Some may be just a little dimple in the sand. Sometimes you can even see the clam necks sticking up out of the sand when the surf comes in. Once you figure out what they look like on a particular day, it is a lot easier to spot them. Good luck!
@@murffsclaminator thanks helped alot
Beautiful tool, marvelous scenery, great vid. But ... I was trying to figure out how the things worked. I can see the bottom-suction vent tube, and I liked the sand-blocker. Having the end of it up high is good. My problem is that the top pressure/vent-suction hole isn't mentioned. I deduced it must be there, and I can see it, but the video ignores it. Maybe all your potential customers know how the tool works, but I'm guessing there are people who don't. They might be willing to pay more if they realize what a clever design it is. Anyhow, I appreciate and enjoyed the video, and I admire the craftsmanship.
Thanks for your comment on the vent tube and valve. Yes, it makes all the difference. We do plan to do some more videos that explain how it works. We do have some drawings on the clam gun page of our website that illustrates how the vent tube and valve work.

@@murffsclaminator Thank you much.
Where did you get the sand thumper?
Thanks for your question. I think you can still purchase the "sand thumper" at Englund Marine. You can also make your own out of PVC, just like the one shown. You just fill it with sand to give it a little more weight. You can also use a stick or shovel handle, or even just stomp around in your hip boots. It's just the vibration that scares the clam and gets it digging down...which will hopefully make a small hole or "show".
thank you!
Great clam gun highly recommended very well-built
You’re the only one on the beach. Weird.
winter digs, not near as popular! (and my secret spots) :)
Looks like chowder time!!😋🤗
Very informative
Best Clam Guns on the Market. My Claminator limits me out quickly which means more time to drink beer. Thats call a win/win with a hangover.
How come not all have a digestive membrane in their gut? Is it only in a male or female?
Yum
Great video!!!
How not to dig clams folks. Digs on the razor side. Now dig the other side of the hole and mediocre but right.
this happens when you don't go above 480, but i still like
I use scissors can do this way faster then this without breaking membrane
We also have a video on how to clean razor clams with scissors. Check it out at: th-cam.com/video/iAhUuH2Ym34/w-d-xo.html
I feel so bad for them when they move around :( do they feel pain and stuff?
Where did you film this video?
Mostly on clatsop beaches near warrenton oregon. Some of the footage was recorded in Washington state.
Lousy demonstration did not actually show how it works
what exactly were you looking for? you can check out the website ate www.theclaminator.com for more information or email me directly at dale@theclaminator,com to answer any questions you may have.
Yea for the price I'll stick with my shovel! My brother in law just bought my wife one for $147. Not me! LOL
good point!
@@davidregan9872 Tightwad!
@@duckshaker TIGHTWAD? I don't like using a clam gun, and the money I'd save I can use for gas! TRUMP 2024!!!
Thanks for the nice video but can you tell us where are the beach having this kind of clam in CA ? Thanks a lot
According to the California Department of Fish and Game, the best California beaches for razor clams are in Del Norte and Humboldt counties. wildlife.ca.gov/Fishing/Ocean/Regulations/Sport-Fishing/Invertebrate-Fishing-Regs
I love my Murff’s Claminator stainless steel shovel! The first day I took it out to Agate Beach (Newport, OR), I made a video and posted it on Facebook. I got lots of great comments. I like the way the Murff’s shovel is angled much better than the shovel made by “that other company“ from Astoria.
I live in westport. Its by far the best gun on the beach. Hands down
Thank you, nice to see it done professionally, best instructional video on TH-cam.
Thank you.I can clean a claim. Cant wait.
This is really cool to watch, I was raised digging them with a true temper clam shovel, but I really want to see what it's like using a clam gun one of these days.
Are these things dead ?.
Yes, they are dead. The 5-10 second blanching in boiling water kills them instantly, but does not fully cook them.
Does the salt hurt them like slugs?
Like all sea creatures, razor clams enjoy living in salt water. It doesn't hurt them at all.
@@richw.6832 Thank you ,I'm so daft lol,I knew they live in salt water but imagined them shriveling up like slugs🙈🤣🤦♀️🤦♀️👍
I know your hands are scared up,,,but don't you think you could clean them nasty finger nails before you clean food you are going to eat????
Was thinking the same!
Some people have real jobs and work hard everyday.
Thank you.I can clean a claim. Cant wait.
