Hi Italo My current boat and motor set up will only troll down to 2.5 mph that is too fast for the Lakers I want to go after. Can I use a Drift Sock to reduce my troll speed Thanks.
Posted on March 27th, 2015Hi Steve…Yes, you can use one or two drift socks to slow your boat down, or you can install a “Trolling Plate” ( https://www.google.ca/search?q=trolling+plate&espv=210&es_sm=93&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=ykdfUoDRMran4AO96oG4Dw&ved=0CEIQsAQ&biw=1600&bih=767), that mounts on your cavitation plate. When you are not running you raise the plate, when you want to troll you lower it. It does the same thing ad the drift socks, but nowhere near as bulky…God bless you, Italo
