Would you like some free telescoping stale? I have a set up with bull rake and all. The rake has worn teeth that I doubt a pro digger would want but the stale isfirst class and like new and has a handle float and the fixture to attach a rake. You are welcome to it all. If you don't want it , no problemo , let me know and I'll just leave it at the Ponoag shellfishing docks for someone to take.

If you want it we can meet up somehow off Greenwich Bay and move it from my boat to yours.

My days of raking clams on a sailbpat are over. You got to be a gorilla to get the rake up with all the wire rigging a sailboat has and I just can't do it anymore. Got a lot of free clams with it over the years and would like it to go to a good home.

Saltheart,sure thanks of thinking of me, I don;t bullrake much anymore, age ,abuse and bad back but I always keep it handy and use it a few times a year, I;m one of the few tongers leftone I won;t we able to get that gear any more, the dealer that was carrying tongs , just went out of business,------------- we;ll talk ,and hookup soon, thanks again Mike,later

Clammer, I didn't get but a glance at how tongs are built, but they are probably something that wouldn't be too difficult to build if you really need a set.

Thanks Ed,check them out the next time we fish together,hopefully this year////later
