FISHINGNUT Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Iam looking at purchasing a drift sock it suggests a 36" sock would do for a 16-18 foot boat but I have the chance to purchase a 48" sock rated for a 22-26foot boat for $15.00 cheaper than the smaller sock.My boat is a 17.6 foot fish and ski so do you think the 48" is to big ?I do alot of drift fishing for walley and bass so I thought the slower the better would improve fishing.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediangler Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Slower the better is right. I'm using one that is rated for a 14' boat on a 14' Sportspal canoe. They're also great for musky fishing. You can cover an area with more casts per drift casting bucktails if you are going slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taper Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 I would suggest get the smaller one and when funds will allow buy a second smaller one. In case it is not very windyyou won't need the large one and with two you can control the drift much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
