Quick take

Heavy-duty steel clam gun with corrosion-resistant enamel finish for opening clams and mussels as live bait.

The Danielson Clam Gun is a welded steel tube with an enamel finish, made for pulling clams out of sandy beaches. It runs about 30 inches long and weighs 4.7 pounds, so it is a one-piece tool you carry down to the surf. Shore diggers who want a simple, hand-operated way to take clams will find it a straightforward fit.
