[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 415027, member: 15636"] Our drift socks (offshore boats) had a trip line made out of floating polypropylene line. It was attached to the rear of the socks or 'scoop' so when you pulled the trip line in - it immediately dumped the water and came aboard fast. As Rich says, they don't need to be deployed far off the boat, ours would only be 5 to 8' away and that was more due to the gunnel heights of the offshore boats. We also tended to put them off the mid-cleats. [/QUOTE]
