Great machine. I think your flour gold capture will go up. The guys I know who work the toughest spots on the Fraser have about 12 feet of sluice including extension. Each section loses less and less, so you end up with a really good capture rate. I agree that Downdraft would not be a good mat choice in that super fast top section of your highbanker. Razorback and Downdraft are better suited to extensions with slightly slower water. Enjoy the season!
Great advice thanks, my monster highbanker has 7 1/2 feet of sluice but still surprisingly had a fair bit of losses, I was told a second dampening mat would help break surface tension and allow the gold to fall back down and settle in riffles
Thanks man, I feel the talon mats have the best capture zones out of the gold hog products and I’ve always liked the way expanded metal and miners moss worked in my monster highbanker, best of both worlds, cheers!
set up looking good fam. keep at it. GOLD SQUAD OUT!!!
She’s a beauty for sure

@@NorthPineOutdoors - yep, 2 or even 3 dampening mats on a long sluice with expanded metal and miner's moss would be fine. Almost can't have too many.
Nice looking unit! Your fabricator does an excellent job. Nice compact unit! All the best guy's!
Thanks, hope it performs like I think it will
Nice set up , And a good idea with the Talon mats…. I hope you have a great 2022 season 👍🇨🇦
