I have 2-30"ers from Academy (around $12-$15 each I think....you can google it). I deploy mine right off the back of the boat as close to the boat as possible on each corner, therefore not needing any flotation. I just hook 'em to my rod holders. If only using one I deploy it right behind the motor and clip the snaps on my ropes to the boat motor throttle cable and rod holder. My two socks will hold me back for a good trolling speed of .8 m,ph with 11-15 mph winds (whitecapping) making the trolling motor pull me so the boat stays straight. Any more wind than that and I either find fish somewhere else to catch or put the boat on the trailer.
