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?
Really nice. Thanks for sharing
Great clam gun highly recommended very well-built
Looks like chowder time!!😋🤗
Headed to the Beach SOON with one of your NEW Guns......... Hope the weather holds for a few more weeks.
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!
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!
I purchased and used The Claminator.
Great product.
Something I always wanted to do in Southern California but I don’t know where. Special license needed?
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.
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!
That would be 5degree top handle of gun tilt away from the water
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!

You’re the only one on the beach. Weird.
winter digs, not near as popular! (and my secret spots) :)
