Re: DRIFT SOCK
Ebay!!!
Hey guys, these Drift Socks are just a form of Sea Anchor (something anyone who goes offshore should know about anyway). I find tons of these on Ebay (search for "sea anchor" or "drift anchor". A lot of people buy military suplus drogue parachutes (5'-6' diameter) and make their own. But I just got a couple Navy surplus sea anchors of various sizes (so I can experiment) for between $8-$12 each.
The company Para-anchor makes real bluewater Sea Anchors, but they also make a really cool product called Boat Brakes that are fully adustable while deployed. But they are pricey.
Good luck. Tight lines.
