Why not try one of these Bass Pro Shops Drift Anchor seems simpler and alot less weight
I have been told that the best way to rig is with the wind, as the fish sit in the water facing the wind. Wanting to experiment with trying to slow the boat down and going with the wind. I have heard that some drag chain, I want to try this but have no idea where to start with size wise, I know it has many variables, but just a starting point is what I am looking for, 19' deep V boat. 5/16, 3/8 chain? How long of a chain do you drag? I just have no idea how much drag a chain would produce, I assume that also the bottom being mud or rock would make a big difference also. Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this!!!! Mark
I've used the drift sock on windy days and even when going with the wind I stillhad to use the trolling motor to move fast enough. (.3mph).
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
a drift sock is a lot easier than a chain, look on chart for your size boat then get the next size larger. i like cabelas better than bass pro shop thats just my opinion.

Why not use a 5 gallon bucket with some holes drilled in it tied on a rope?

I use a drift sock at times i wish i had two or a chain. Ive been told that you need one foot of chain for every foot of boat so if you have a 19' boat get a 19' chain and tie a rope to the end rope needs to be, im just guessn bout 40'
Hope this helps
Cabelas drift socks are great.
I have used both and prefer a sock to a chain, when in open water. Stumpy waters require a chain, they will rip a sock to pieces. I like the cabela's sock too, but it's the only brand that I have owned, so nothing else to compare it to.
