  1. jeebus abd would chew a big line right down teh riverbed..... interesting idea but im not too sure about it....... sure ponton and driftboat anchors do the same but onl for a short stretch too stop and do whatever.. btu dredging teh whole riverbottom might not be so good in teh long run

    According to the video that I watched on the technique it needs to be 2 feet off the bottom to work correctly. That is the part that is not clear. If it is just hanging there how is it supposed to slow you down. The guy at class V stated that the chain flutters in the current which somehow creates drag and slows you down. It is also supposed to act like a keel and track straight.

  2. Has anyone ever tried the chain anchor drift method that Dave Scadden talks about on the Bow river. He claims that is will slow you down and assist in tracking straight even though it is not dragging on the river bottom.

     

    I talked to a guy at a company in the stated called class 5 and he swears by this method also.

     

    Just looking for local input.

  3. All,

     

    I am seriously thinking on picking up an Outcast pontoon boat, one of the models which allows you to stand up. It's pretty appealing for a number of reasons but it has one serious drawback that I can think of. It looks heavy. Most of the lakes I fish are walk-in so heavy is not a plus. So, if anyone knows out there, is it too heavy to carry easily? Lastly, and perhaps most importantly has anyone rigged theirs up with wheels? If so I would love to hear about it.
