does anyone hav eplans for making an effective shrimp pump. I know they go for only about 20 bucks, but I thought I could add a few refinements, like a longer tube (so I don't have to bend over so much) and a better grip, like a T-handle. I just need the basic structure, with photos if possible.
I met a Canadian in Brownsville, TX who makes them down there, bought one, loved it, left it in my storage unit down there. :shrug:
Thanks.

Are you talking about the clam gun that most people use for sandshrimp? It only cost about fifteen bucks to make four of them or so. You can buy the pipe and caps at home depot or lowes. The key is making the handle through the top so the grip is easier.

Yes, that's the one, I would love to make a couple of these. I left mine in Brownsville, TX, so I don't have one here to work with, and thought this would be a good time to see if I can build one, while I am home at the shop. Plans with line drwings would be great. Thanks
