Rated 5 out of 5Â by JawneeBoy Essential for drifting
What a difference this made while drifting! Slows down your boat in all wind conditions and allows you to have your bait in the strike zone longer! I use the 36" model on a 14' & 16' aluminium boat and it makes quite a difference in mild to moderate wind. If you'll be fishing when the wind is howling, you'll need a larger sized version or use a second drift sock of the same diameter to get the same effect.

Rated 1 out of 5Â by NH4HUNTINFISH Poor Quality
Sock worked well for the first three trips. This trip the dump cord came unsewed. No biggie!! But when I examined it closer at home the material is breaking in several spots and is almost broken in half. The sock is only three months old! Can't recomend it to anyone but it did work well while it lasted! LOL

I have to say, I was impressed with the overall quality of this drift sock. Can't imagine one better made with the durable stiching etc. Also cam with a release strap, that I was unaware of. This makes emptying the sock effortless.

Please refer to the chart that we have added to the items description.

16-18 ft boat use 30"A:Â
I have an 18' fiberglass runabout. At idle speed it runs right at 3.3 mph (taken by GPS).With a 36" sock it slows the boat at idle to ~2.6 mph.
With a 48" sock it slows the boat at idle to 1.8-2.0 mph
With the 54" sock it slows the boat at idle to 1.3-1.6 mph.
This is all dependent on boat size, type, wind speed and direction, and all the other factors boaters have to contend with. The bigger the sock, the slower you go.
I hope this helps.

(From Lindy's own chart:)moderate wind:
boat length:
<15' = anchor 25-30"
16-18' = anchor 36-42"
20+' = anchor 48-50"
light wind:
boat length:
<15' = anchor 18-24"
16-18' = anchor 25-30"
20+' = anchor 36-42"
heavy wind:
boat length:
<15' = anchor 36-42"
16-18' = anchor 48-50"
20+' = anchor 54-60"
