[QUOTE="huntinforfish, post: 159915, member: 607"] Hello Gents! Are any of my fellow tiller pals out there using a drift sock to slow speed while back trolling? I have been fishing with others who have done this and it seems to work great. I have a 16.5' Alumacraft Navigator with a 60 HP/FS. On a calm day I can back troll with the big motor to just under 2 MPH. I would like to drop that by almost half if I could. Does anyone have any experience as to what size drift sock would work for this set up. You can buy them as small as 24" to as big as 60" from what I can tell. I was thinking something in the middle, but was hoping for some insight. While we are at it, any brands to stay away from or strongly consider? Before it gets recommended, yes, I have trolling motors. Both bow and transom mount. But, the control with the main motor is hard to beat while back trolling. Thanks for any help. [/QUOTE]
