DRIFT CONTROL: an essential angling tool! Smart anglers deploy drift socks to overcome problem conditions that discourage 100-percent fishing effort and maximum success. Nicknames reflect drift sock uses, slow-down devices, boat brakes, wind fighters, boat-positioners, current-compensators, and sea anchors.
One key word is slow. Another is control, as in Drift Control. With a Drift Control drift sock the angler retains fishability where it’s otherwise lost. Fishing becomes more efficient and fun as the drift sock frees the angler/boat operator from having to “fight” wind, waves,or a boat that’s fishing too fast or off course.
 SLOW ‘ER DOWN! Drifting or trolling too fast is a nightmare. Use a Drift Control sock when it’s too windy for a slow-enough drift, or when a motor won’t idle down for the best presentation of live bait or lure.- TURN THAT BOAT! Deploy a Drift Control sock to change boat posture in relation to waves or fishing targets such as rock bars and weedlines. A sock can reposition a boat for parallel drifting, keep transom out of high waves, hold bow into waves to maintain a trolling course, or stay on the right path so bobbers and lures land on fish.
- STAY ON ‘EM LONGER! Drift Control's braking action overcomes fast-tracking through fishy areas or past productive terrain. Walleye anglers keep live bait in the fish zone longer. Bass chasers and muskie hunters target more casts without blowing right on by!
- CUT THE BOUNCE! Drift socks can reduce extreme up-and-down boat bounce and pitching. A more stable fishing platform encourages better fishing!
- NEUTRALIZE THE CURRENT! Whether fishing catfish, smallies, or other river fish, use a Drift Control sock to compensate for current, or to work with current for a desirable boat position.
- GIVE EVERYONE A CHANCE! Adjust boat posture so all anglers get equal shots at the fish. That keeps ‘em happy, on target, and productive!
- SAFETY, TOO! A Drift Control sock comes to the rescue in case of break-down. Greatly slow the drift of a powerless boat. Hold in an area so searchers can find you. Turn the boat so it drifts in the right direction. Get the Drift?
An essential angling tool and boat accessory, Drift Control can save the day!

Drift Control = Boat Control
|
When drifting flats, deploy 2 Drift Control Socks to keep the boat from drifting unevenly. |
Run one or two drift socks from the bow to slow down your trolling speed. Or cut the bounce on windy/wavy days. |
Use a Drift Control Drift Sock along with your trolling motor to present baits to a wind-blown shoreline. |
Underwater points can be worked by using your trolling motor in combination with a drift sock to follow a contour into the wind. |
