The RTG 28-inch scoop has a 5-inch diameter basket, matching the basket size of RTG's adjustable aluminum and straight-handle aluminum models. This 5-inch diameter provides enough capacity to clear a typical dry-sand plug in two or three scoops while keeping the total weight under four pounds for swing comfort across long beach sessions. RTG's Pro Aluminum 6x11 water scoop has a larger 6-inch diameter basket for higher-volume recovery in wet sand and shallow water, but that larger basket increases the scoop's weight to four pounds and changes the handle angle for foot-push use.
