Fill me in on drift buckets. Been doing a little reading and they seem to work well to help keep the stern of a boat from swinging port to starboard as much when anchored in a current. Sometimes I anchor up pretty close to the face of a dam for catfishing and the boat swinging back and forth can cause snags when lines are out. Do they work well in a heavy current like that? Wouldn't want it to cause the anchor to come loose. Do they have to be centered off the stern to be effective, or can I just tie it to one of the handles on either side of my stern?
I'm a pretty big DIY guy and these seem simple enough to make, if they're effective.
