I have always been kinda torn about this. I have a large drift sock and a 3/4 inch chain on the boat (but have never used the chain yet, but hate messing with the sock)
The whole ripping up the lake bottom thoughts just didn't sit right with me for some reason I guess. But to be honest after reading Harolds post on the proper way to deploy the chain, I'm feeling a little better about the chain.
I pictured dragging a 6 foot length of chain behind 20-30 feet of rope................with a mud trail rising from below, behind my boat
Just letting out enough for a few links to hit and go from there..............sounds like something I can live with in my lite boat and not interfere with my configuration of lines out the back. Solves any concerns spidering up front for sure.

By having 3 different sections of chain -6' 6' & 9', can make the slowing of boat
suit what ever style of fishing you want to do that day. The chain does very, very
little damage to muck in lake - or pulling through a grass bed as chain will slide
over grass and not dig in
Using the rope allows you to control speed of boat -
