I was fishing with Terry George the other nite and he had a drift sock he put out ,I had never seen one in use before , I had always used a second anchor ,in which is a pain in the butt to bring fish in around it I'm glad you put this highly detailed information about the Drift Sock on here ,I know I will never take the boat out again without one ...Thanks Chris

I am still learning ALL the advantages to using socks. By using two sizes off each side, you can actually position you boat differently. I use them in non-current, high wind situations to control the boat at different angles.....Good stuff Chris!

Great job I use the same Cabelas drift socks, So much easier than the old style of years past that had no float or weight. One thing I do that works great and makes it less likely to get snagged in a fish or rig is to turn it inside out and run the yellow line inside. It keeps the line from moving around and risk of snags. It is also just as easy pulling in, it just inverts the sock. I also always use a float of some type to make sure it will float if broke free, comes loose or just dropped. I use the 56" 66" and two also two 38" I can suspend under the boat so they do not stick out the back when dragging or power drifting.

Hey Johnny sorry I’m just now getting back to you. But if you’re not in Ohio, West Virginia Or Ky resident then you will need to buy either a Kentucky or West Virginia out of state fishing license depending on what section of the river you plan to fish

A lot of that will depend on the current and wind. If there is little current I’ll put out two and sometimes bigger socks. But if there is a lot of current I’ll just use one or smaller socks
