Bwahahahahahaha. Drag Queen?????

I use a 1" about four foot long with a 3" steel ball welded to the end of it. However a wind or drift sock works the best for sure.......Oh and by the way when you buy one get the biggest Cabalas sells

How far behind the boat should you pull the drift sock?

How does the "two 5 gallon bucket" solution compare to the drift sock solution. It is almost christmas time and Im not sure I want to spend my money on a drift sock when I can go by the shop and pick up a pair of transmission fluid buckets for free......

Dont think there is a comparison there, buckets work fine in lite wind

Buckets work fine until you pull the handle out of them and gettin em back in the boat is little aggravating also.

[QUOTE=Shine Runner;2081451]Tru dat. But last time I tried to get this question figured out, the thread got locked. Glad this one is still rolling. The socks worked way better that day then the chain we were dragging. I was amazed how ya'll drug them thru the wood with no problems. We needed a bigger chain or two for that tank we were in, but I am pretty sure two XL socks would have let us fish more. I am looking for a deal on drift socks.

Shine you need to watch Cabelas Bargin bin for deals on socks. I try to remember to check once a week. They have some pretty good deals some time. I bought a 72 vinyl last year for 12.00 and this spring got 2 Large of the really nice ones for 29.00 plus shipping. That's for the pair. I searched and searched and they have the best deals I could find.
