Re: good fork for digging ragworm
2 seasons I was lucky if I got 2 sessions out of a fork
at the minute I'm using a spear and jackson fork,I paid a bit extra for it but have it 1.5 years now
seems good enough and the ground I dig is really tough

I wait until Tescos reduce theirs and the end of seaon and get 3 for the price of one. This means you always have a standby and they have lasted over a year.

Re: good fork for digging ragworm
I use a spear and Jackson flat tined fork, got it in Homebase about 3 years ago and still going strong, cost me about €35 at the time. Don't know how I went digging before, alot easier now.
