The Fisherman Series deploys with ease and dries quickly for convenient storage. The design resists spinning or tangling, and reinforced nylon prevents fraying. Anglers facing windy conditions have always struggled with boat control. Not only is it difficult to stay on fish-holding structure in the wind, it is also very tough to consistently present live bait and lures to fish. With the aid of Lindy Drift Control products, this becomes not only possible, but easy. For years, anglers concocted their own methods of dealing with wind and waves. Many tied 5-gallon buckets to their cleats to create drag; others added as much as 500 pounds of sand on the inside of the boat to hold it down in the waves. Sand bags help to reduce bouncing, but they cause sore backs and greatly reduce speed and acceleration in better conditions. The biggest problem with these methods is their lack of convenience. The folks at Lindy Drift Control set out to create a product that solved all of the problems. The result was a drift sock that does much more than that. Lindy Drift Control Drift Socks are tough, dependable and easy to use. Plus, they dry quickly and pack small so they can be stowed in boat storage compartments. Try a Lindy Drift Control Drift Sock one time and it will become one of the most beneficial, hassle-free tools to put more fish in the boat, even when conditions hamper other anglers. The reinforced nylon material on the Fisherman Series Drift Sock is coated for durability and water-resistance, and resists fraying from normal use. This material also holds up in shallow-water conditions. The Fisherman Series comes with a dump line already attached, making retrieval a snap. For serious anglers, Lindy Drift Control Drift Socks are essential to angling and boat control.

I was concerned about how these would set up and use. I have a 17' boat w/115 hp so wanted these to slow my troll down. They were easy to attach to front cleats and filled up quickly and stay filled. Easy to bring in without a dump line. They were just too small for my boat. Instructions even said so, but I only needed a small bump in speed to get to Walleye speed. These didn't get me there.

Tried using it with my float tube. It really didn’t fill up and slow me down when the wind pushed hard.

I am very happy with this product. I bought the 18" for my fishing SUP because I don't need anything bigger. From photos on the package and on the ad I thought it came with a dump strap but it did not.

I used this in a kayak. When I didn't want to drift fast, I just tossed it over the side of my kayak, and when I wanted to get going, I just pulled it up and slipped it under the bowlines. It worked really well and I'm happy with this choice. I bought the smallest one and it slowed me down enough to fish the shoreline. Great buy, love that it packs down small and I can haul it in my kayak without any problem.

Works good, built well. Does not come with dump strap as shown in picture, but not a big deal

Good product. Works well on my kayak. Not as shown. Does not have dump strap (yellow in picture) shown in picture. Was simple to add one though.

High quality material and they work perfect every time! Got two of the 54" socks, @ $29 each, that's a great price!

Purchased this in the 18" to use with a 12ft Pescador Kayak. This has worked wonderfully on lakes and slow moving water. It seems well made and has held up perfectly so far.

Works pretty well. Slows my kayak's drift considerable even though the drift sock is only 18". Material feels pretty durable but we'll see at the end of the season. Reasonable price.
