Best purchaseI bought this to slow down my 115hp motor for trolling and it worked amazingly!! Bought 2 for each side of my boat - attached them on the front cleat so it would stay clear of the motor and fishing line. This slowed down my boat and was easy to set up! Definitely a worthwhile purchase.

Great Drift AnchorsVery nice! I had no idea what to expect when I order these, Figured they'd be a bit cheap but I was wrong. Also, I had no idea about sizing. After reading some reviews I decided on two 30" anchors. I drift for catfish from a 1756 flatbottom with 28' sides. Both these out the rear of the boat are perfect in up to 20mph winds. After drying they even fold up and fit back in their mesh bags!

A must have product when jigging holesI purchased a 30" drift anchor for my Nitro 750dlx it works ok but should have purchased 2 in order to hold the boat still it needs to be anchored at both ends. I should have thought of that when I purchased it and that's my fault the product is very durable a must have for jigging weed beds on a windy day.
what material is it made from now the last one I bought rotted away in 2 years. I don't want another one like that .

I have a 17ft boat..thus will need 2 drift socks...(36" and 42")...fishing on Lake Erie for first time ...what else do I need...Harness of some type...dump line? I've never used this equipment, so need some advice please
Asked by: Rhiny
Hi, you might be inclined to just try using a rope to attach the drift sock to the boat but a drift harness is a much better option. Try the Outdoor World Marine Drift Anchor Harness SKU: 1487950, which you attach your drift anchor to the boat.
The buoy or “float” on the harness serves two purposes.
It helps keep the sock towards the surface of the water while in use which optimizes performance and also keeps it on the surface if it is removed from the boat. You may accidentally lose the drift sock (it happens).
When landing a big catfish the best option at times is to drop the drift sock from the side of the boat , land the fish and then go back and retrieve the sock.
How To Use A Drift Sock
Using the drift sock is pretty easy.
Attach the harness to the sock. Attach the other end of the harness to the boat. Throw the sock in the water. Once it hits the water it will “open up” and start to drag water.
Where you attach the sock on the boat will depend on your preferred method of drifting. If you’re fishing from the side of the boat with a single drift sock then most boats need the sock in the middle or front portion of the boat.
