[QUOTE="Norske, post: 159931, member: 409"] I backtroll with a Yamaha T8 kicker. I own two drift socks and hate them both. Wet nylon makes a mess when you bring them back on board. One will be handy as a sea anchor should I need it in an emergency though. I'll second the recommendation for using a plastic pail, I like a 2" hole in the bottom. It can be used for storage when not being used as a speed controller and it brings a lot less water into the boat with it. Most of them float if you tear the wire handle off, but avoid that by rigging rope through the sides where the wire handle came from. As for needing wave whackers, I think they are in my way when fishing or netting at the rear of my boat. Backsplash gets you wet? Are you afraid of dissolving your candy a$$? If it's that rough, my T8 will forward troll into the wind at almost zero net speed. [/QUOTE]
