creekside Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 yes i have and the one i used on my buddies boat was home made worked pretty good but had some design issues. So i ordered a Greys Platinum drogue after watching a bunch of videos from the uk. But have never used it due to selling my boat (tired of the crowds). If your interested in purchasing one send me pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angler Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 YES!!!! I do this often on lakes I am somewhat familiar with. Motor up wind to where you want to start how it out, get your line out and go. I use the motor occasionally for direction changes - you know the wind changes as soon as get set up. As wind changes the sock is deployed and retrieved as needed. And if you are looking for one I got one to part with. I didn't realize sizing so I bought one on-line only to find it is too big for my 12'er, almost 8 months after purchase with no option to return. Let me . I'll send pic and price.

Bcsteel Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Yes I use one, they are sized accordingly to the boat size. I have a yammy 20 hp 4 stroke that trolls too fast. It works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
