Post by: brickie58 on July 21, 2014, 07:12:33 PM
hi my father is getting on in years now and finds he cant swing his explorer for any length of time on his favourite beach, yes hes tried various swingy thingys etc, so its got to work in wet sand and hearing a lot about the lightness of the Deus would like to know whats the truth about the Deus on  wet sand, ive heard good and bad about it so has any one got one they use on wet sand, thanks.

Don't even think about it for wet sand, yes you can get it to work but its performance would be no better than a basic machine and you wouldn't be getting anywhere near your money's worth. My advice would be to get a Minelab Sovereign  belt mount the control box and use a straight stem ;)
