This aluminum clam gun is designed for razor clamming along the Pacific Northwest coast. The lightweight aluminum construction provides durability without the weight of traditional steel models, making it easier to carry during extended clamming sessions. The gun features ergonomic grips for comfortable handling and a relief tube (vent) that helps release suction when extracting the gun from wet sand, reducing the physical effort required. The T-handle design allows for efficient pushing and pulling motions when digging for razor clams. This tool is popular among recreational clammers in Washington, Oregon, and Alaska where razor clamming is a cherished coastal tradition.
