Product description

Fishing in windy conditions can be a pain. It can seriously test your patience as you are forced to cast and reposition your boat at the same time. Fortunately, there is a fairly simple solution to this common problem - drift socks.

MOOCY drift sock slows your boat when drifting or trolling. Reinforced nylon prevents fraying and deploys quickly. A great small-craft safety accessory to work both as a sea brake while drifting, and Also can be deployed as aid for disabled craft. Made from heavy-duty denier nylon,It’s coated for durability and water resistance ? and won’t absorb any water whatsoever.

Harness and Buoy

Attaching a drift sock to your boat is typically done with a harness and some sort of small float or buoy. You can also use a length of rope, but a harness and float will generally work better.

A float is needed to keep the sock near the surface, and not dragging along the bottom. It also helps you locate the sock on the surface if it comes loose.

Look for a harness with some sort of quick-release clip or carabineer on its end. This will allow you to quickly remove and reposition the sock on a different cleat if the need arises. Some drift socks will come with a clip and float included, while others do not. Check out the ALL SIZE MOOCY Drift Sock KIT if you’re looking for a good harness and float.

Dump Line

A dump line ? also called a collapsing line ? is a second smaller rope attached to the end of your drift sock. This line is used to quickly collapse the sock and make it easier to pull in. Pulling a fully inflated drift sock towards your boat is like hauling in an anchor ? it can be a major pain.

The most important thing to keep in mind while rigging the dump line is that it needs to be longer than your harness line by the same length as your drift sock.

How to pick the right drift socks for your boat?

Picking the right drift socks for your boat can be a bit confusing. Let's take a look at some of the key factors to look for when picking out drift socks.

Size

The most important factors to consider when choosing drift socks are the size of your boat and wind conditions. If your boat is over 20 feet, then you may want to use two different sizes so you can experiment with multiple socks. Use the following chart as a guideline to pick out the right sized drift sock.

BOAT SIZE------------------------------------14 feet --------------------------------16 to 18 feet -----------------------20 feet + 20 feet

Light wind -------------------------------------18"-24"-------------------------------- 25"-30" --------------------------------36"-42"

Moderate wind --------------------------------25"-30"-------------------------------- 36"-42" --------------------------------48"-50"

High wind --------------------------------------36-42"--------------------------------- 48"-50"-------------------------------- 50"-56"

If you're in doubt about what size to buy,going one size up normally makes sense. This will give you the ability to drift in high winds while still working well when it's just a little breezy out. If you fish in a variety of conditions, then choosing several different sizes will give you the versatility to drift whenever and wherever you like.
