[QUOTE="Up Y'oars, post: 104014, member: 764"] Own two sizes and have used them both. With NoDak wind I feel you can get a better and consistent troll speed. I remember my old Triton 189 was a pig on the water and very difficult to maneuver (cable-drive bow mount & manual drive kicker in back) where you could NOT use both. That was when I bought the socks and used them quite often. Now, I have a Skeeter 1850 and I can use my iPilot to steer left/right and my kicker is hooked to the steering wheel with separate controls and a Troll Master. No longer do I have those issues in the wind and the socks are stored away. There is a time and place for tools in the fishing world and you'll be glad you own some socks when that time comes. It's no different that the 500 crankbait you have in duffel bags. How many of them get used every weekend during the summer, huh? ;-) You don't use them that often but YOU HAVE THEM! :;:deadhorse :;:stirthepot [/QUOTE]
