Yep, I like the tube or "GUN" if thats what you want to call them. I like being called a rookie when I only have a little over 60 years of digging them. Yep, 5 inch tubes give you a cracked shell in one in fifty but thats because you were looking at all those girls on the clam beds. Pay attention to what your suppose to and there won't be any cracked shells. Most who dig 60 in 30 min are using these "GUNS".
But then down here in the lower states you get 15 which makes the real "rookies" look as good as the rest of us.
