Here's what you're gonna do:

Get some flunky in the Jackson area - DD or Triton for example - to go by Academy for ya and get you a pair of 36" yeller drift socks for $18 each. Then have your chosen flunky bring it to you and buy you lunch. I'm tellin' ya, this works like a charm. In this way, you save yourself $20 on each drift sock plus shipping, you're well fed and you really don't have to go through the trouble of ordering them yourself. Truth is, ya can't swing a dead cat around here without hitting a flunky, so this is all pretty easy. Just choose your flunky carefully. The key is to pick one with a good lunch money budget.

Your welcome.

yw....... we have one that is adjustable and one that isn't. We use both of them on the 28' toon but just the adjustable one on the 20' Grizzly. I'm unsure of their sizes, though. Lots of help I am.

I have a 18 F&F with a 90. I drag two of the yellow socks. One from each of the front cleats so they will not get tangled in my prop or lines. I can easily troll at 1.4 mph.
