                  Comments about Overton's 30" Drift Anchor Socks:

                  I use the socks to slow my deck boat for trolling. Due to stern configuration I cannot install a kicker motor. The drift socks work as "pictured" you need to use two. Two 30" socks slowed my boat from 2.8 kt to ~1.6 kt at idle. Socks could use a method to adjust opening.
