Drift Sock Question?????

[Wyobraz]

[font "Tempus Sans ITC"][#808000][size 3]Well I finally ended up with a set of downriggers, due to a barter with bkidder!!! Anyway I am know one step closer to going for the kokes, but my next problem is I don't have a kicker on my boat. My main motor is a Yamaha F115 Fourstroke and with the pitch of prop that I like for it, it will cruise at slow speeds between 2 and 2.8 MPH according to the GPS and wind directions. Even though this will catch fish some days, it might be to fast on others. [/size][/#808000][/font]

[font "Tempus Sans ITC"][#808000][size 3]So my question is has anyone ever used a drift sock to help control speeds. I think it would work just fine but it is just a thought. My wife won't let me buy a kicker until after hunting season so that is out. Also I absolutely will not put a trolling plate on my motor I have been there done that and hate the concept. They cause to many problems with cavitation and I always forget to lift them before I take off and bend the crap out of things.LOL If anyone has ever tried this let me know becuase I think I will be giving it a try.[/size][/#808000][/font]
