I am going to building a sluice and was wondering if any one here is or has used Gold Hog Mats and what they think of them ?

I use three types in a 4" dredge -- river hog; UR; and bedrock -- it is set up to catch the fine gold in Colo. It works better than any other sluice system I have tried. It is a little difficult to clean up, because you have to reverse roll the matting and gold hog mats have a thick backing - so it is a little stiff. I does a good job on flour and fly speck sized gold.
Gold Hog Mats get grub the gold out of dirt , trust me
I run Gold Hog mats on the highbanker combo and Shad does as well on the dredge. We use Talon on the combos and a combination of River Hog and Talon on the dredge. Both are working great for us. Good luck on your dredge and post pics!
I run Gold Hog mats in my 4" dredge and wouldn't run anything else. I don't like a lot of cons and with the mats I went from 1/2 of a 5 gal bucket down to about a quart or less. Takes me about 3 minutes to do a cleanup! I do have vortex in my Gold Cube and like the job they do for large cleanups. The choice is yours, whatever makes you happy! I have never used them in a sluice however.
i also use the vortex in my banker dredge combo as well as my 4 and 5 inch dredge i recover a lot of gold from all sizes am not trying to discourage you or any one from their choice of mat preffence
Hog mats are good, used them in my highbanker for three years. Caught some good gold, but I tried some vortex, and haven't put them back in since. Vortex is easier to clean up for me with my arthritis. I don't however catch the really small stuff now.
I also use them in my 2 inch dredge and I have never been happier
Thank you for the info.
Love them I run them on my dredge and have no issues did ok last year for me. You do have to tune them to the water speed I know some of people have more then one set for there sluice for when the water is running high or low.
