    Yes very much worth it IMHO. I just have the Bass Pro rake.

    Yes a rake is useful. Tradeoff to a rake is that sandfleas are fussy and mass-die (and stink) easily so you can't stock up too many. They make shrimp look hardy.

    As for a DIY rake, the most simple one I’ve seen was made out of half of a wire mesh funnel minnow trap with a conduit handle.

    Yea, we’re sitting good but may have to put them 110% due to rumors saying another shop is going to “crush” our surf business.

    I’ll believe that when I see it. IF I see it, I’ll still doubt what I’m seeing lol
