Thread: Drift socks

i run the same boat as you 16' alumacraft. it's very lite and will pick up speed in a hurry. i have 2 socks i keep in the boat anytime i fish because the weather man has a hard time getting wind speed and direction correct most days. i have a 48" sock that works perfect on days where u are going just a hair to fast, but i also have a 56" or something close to that size that i have tied to 30' of rope. about every 3' of rope i made a loop so if i need to slow down more i just let out a little more rope. chains work better in the stumps and shallow water but i like the socks if im drifting across deeper flats

Cabelas.
