Have a search on Google about pumping bait.... Black lug is the common target. Blow lug or Rag will just be broken by the pump action.

Check the area that you dig first if the sand is fairly dry bait pumps are not that effective ,you need wet muddy sand to work the pump,google homemade pumps I made one from bits and pieces in the shed,it worked perfectly but I had to pump in or near pools on the beach in the end I gave up and used a spade again,try a diy one if it works then fork out for a shiny steel one if ye like

How much are you looking for it? any pictures of it and where are you from?


Thanks for the advice guys. A pump just means I can dig more along the waters edge. Using a garden fork is a nightmare if the sand is too wet

Less damage dome to the worm with a fork, harder going but they stay in one piece 99% of the time
