I have had a Magnum Drift Control sock by Lindy since I had my 02 Crestliner. When I bought my new boat in 2006, I bought another one. In the 2007 Wave Wacker tourney, they were one of the biggest reasons for my 9th place finish. I had one off the bow and one off the back and even in the nasty conditions with some MONSTER rollers and wind, the Drift Control socks slowed my boat down enough to have a good day and allow me to sort through some slots. Same thing on non tourney days, I often feel I’m catching more fish then other boats around me because I have both Drift Control socks out and able to go slower than everyone else around me. Like Jon said, the float on one side and weight on the other helps for quick deployment and the one I’ve had for a few years looks exactly like it did the day I bought it.
Wade you are going to love that Drift Sock! The Drift Control Socks are a definite must have for me and when fishing Mille Lacs they are always in my boat.
Somehow I made the photo blurry, but you get the point, this is a beauty of a buck!
Maybe the “fever” or going into “don’t mess this up” mode but I did not get the camera flipped open. Long story short, he came into about 25yds with a bachelor group and I had to contort myself around a tree to get the shot off before they got down wind. Shot was not a double lung but it killed him within 150yds (liver & diapharam). He had been coming into our plots in the daylight all summer. We have trail cam pics from velvet thru hard horn and he is a buck that was around last year also. Needless to say I am a happy camper to close the deal!!
What a awesome buck congrats!!
