[QUOTE="Clover13, post: 414971, member: 21236"] Yes! I saw that topic last night when I was reading here, didn't realize it was yours, very cool! Drift socks are pretty common ocean side here although I've never been on a boat that uses them, just see them deployed out there when drifting. My only concern in the rivers is we tend to fish the channels (they aren't wide) and it would probably be a bad idea to drift sock it in/around them when there's boat traffic. Just not very workable I don't think and possibly dangerous? Perhaps they aren't that far off the boat when they're used, but if you need to get out of a channel quickly, not sure how quickly they can be retrieved. Yeah for sure FW is part of it, but I'm more of a saltwater fisherman than FW...but owning a boat would probably even it out since rentals aren't too prevalent in the FW world here, so I've favored SW because of that.
