Grizzly Gold Trap vs Gold Hog stream sluice Options

[Evg]

Hi everybody.

I have a dilemma what sluice to get. Grizzly Gold Trap or Gold Hog (or any other stream sluice). What I like about Grizzly is that I can get away with not classifying dirt and just shovel into it. At the same time how often cleanouts should be done? Every 5-10-15 buckets? How good it's at catching fine gold? Is it easier or harder to setup compared to regular stream sluices? Is there stream sluice on the market with grizzly bars? Just want to know your opinion and personal preferences.

I was referring to the drop riffles like the foreman model and those bigger ones. The rocks will slide right down those but avoid the raised riffles like the gold hog style. The drop riffles protect the gold much better and are smoother for rocks to roll down. Raised riffles can collect rocks easier. Sluice boxes have taken big leaps since molded plastic is more widely used.

Only their two smallest sluices don't have crossbars. the rest, like the Foreman do. Only around an inch clearance, so working them unclassified isn't an option.
