Dragging a chain

[prchjerker]

Dragging a log chain slows the drift of a boat in the wind.Usually you drag from the back of the boat and fish from the front going with the wind.The more rope you let out the more links there are dragging bottom.The reason you use chain instead of an anchor is its harder to get hung up.
This is a old method thats been used down south for awhile.A better form of drift or speed control and its not as messy would be to use a driftsock or to and you can accomplish the same thing.
