I have drug a chain from the bow before trout fishing and going backwards. I used a 5 foot peice on a 10 foot rope. I noticed CEB dragging a chain on the recent night stalk from the stern. I guess centering it would be important.

Last Saturday(in 30 MPH wind), I was dragging a 14 lbs anchor tied up to a cinder block. It didn't improve my luck any.
