Drift sock recommendation please

I believe you can get away with a 36”- 48” size , on the Whaler , there’s very little free board not much to catch wind , especially if your fishing back bays !
The 5 Gal pail works for smaller boats , just make sure the handles are mounted solidly to bucket or rim tie it !

I have a no name brand one for my 24’ Scout. Maybe 4 foot wide. Works great for me in the ocean but I think it is a little too big for the river with all the sea weed and debris. If I want to slow myself down in the river, especially near the channel. I will use a 5 gallon bucket and just keep it easily reachable if I need to move in a hurry.
