I mostly work creeks and as far as big river i normally go for small gravel pockets in bedrock

Are you going to walk the dredge in or do you have a ride. It will make a difference on your selection. I have a 2.5 that I put together that is light and will pull the chrome off a trailer ball. I use it for running the high grade from bedrock while running my 4". If you are dealing with shallow bedrock it will get the job done if bedrock is deep the bigger the better.

kiddo do yourself a favor , get with another dredger to see whats right for you and your particular needs as far as dredge use knowledge and equipment. each size dredge has its pros / cons ! you need to choose!
