    I have 2 that I got from Academy that are 36". Only cost $15 and open up easily in the water. I've never had a problem with them. One will slow my 18ft. Fish n Ski to a crawl with 5-10mph wind.

    Get a 60" or 2 36", always get larger than recommended. These will do the job.

    not me I sat I the back of a friends boat while he fought the wind. Man I had to add weight to keep the jig down but once I did , holy moly I had a limit by the time he got us back in a cove . Needless to say we switched and made another pass 2 limits

    I have made 3 different sizes with a cheap plastic tarp. Cut it the size you want in an elongated triangle then use duct tape to seal it together. Sounds "redneck" but it actually works GREAT!! Ive had the 3 I made for 3 years now and they still hold up well.

    Darrell go to corn field crappie gear on face book
    We have a paddle that takes the place of the drift sock. Sooo much easer to use.
