I use those two big socks, and if I do start to angle, hit the TM. It takes the slack out of the sock strap and keeps ya from swinging. As big as the socks are, you don't move much with the TM on medium setting.

You netting fish or catching them? They are dual purpose aren't they? Put em out into the wind and let em pull cranks for ya on windy days huh?Quote:

Socks also help when slow trolling crossways in the wind. I put one out off the back and slow troll. By having a sock out, the drift keeps the boat straight if I'm going say .5 or so
You might try it with smaller chains,if you get to heavy the back end of the boat will swing around on youQuote:
