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.

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.
