Trolling bags are made of heavier material and have reinforcing webbing throughout while a drift sock does not. Drift socks are meant to do just that, drift. A trolling bag is way heavier to withstand the constant tugging from the motor, waves, etc. Amish outfitters and big papa are probably the most popular. Not a plug, bit I run two 36" big papa's on my 22' WA and they hold up and allow me to troll down pretty well.

Just be aware there is a difference between a drift sock and a trolling bag. Many people make that costly mistake. Drift socks will not hold up to extended trolling.

Yup, still available.

For sale: A 22' walkaround cuddy with a 2001 Mercury 125 two stroke. Motor runs very well and only had ethanol free fuel with Seafoam added in occasionally last season. Canvas salon enclosure was redone in 2008 and is in good shape. All of the zippers are in good shape. New last year were a fresh tune up of motor, impeller, digital float switch on the bilge pump, swim platform w/ 3 step ladder and fenders/lines package. Included with the sale will be the Lowrance LMS-520c combo unit, a vhf radio, double tree rod holders, danforth anchor with a long line and a very nice Escort single axle trailer. Trailer has rollers in front and bunks in the back, making it very easy to load and unload. Current reg. in hand. All lights work on boat and trailer. This boat has been very good to us on eastern Lake O, with many trips out to the Galloos and Henderson w/o a single problem. It has served the family well on play days too. Boat is currently wrapped up in Cape Vincent, NY. I can be contacted by PM, or by calling 315-778-3526. Matt

To answer your question about trolling, I have an '01 Merc 125 with the same feature. It trolls very well with a pair of sea anchors hung off the side of the boat. It would probably go slow enough without the anchors, but I run them so I can run a little higher rpm's, but still only two cylinders. Never a sign of fouling the plugs all spring and summer. A kicker might be beneficial, but not entirely necessary. Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Went out to the Galloos targeting bass and saw a few boats trolling with boards. Were these taken out of that area? Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Geno, good work. Doesn't surprise me a bit to see you getting fish when everyone else is drying up. I hope to find some this weekend.

Yeah. I have been watching those threads. Those record fish make this one look like a baitfish.

We thought we had a real nice walleye on until this thing appeared. Fun to fight though.

Yeah, my son and I were out there until the wind blew us off our troll.

So hit or miss out there, not to mention the never ending wind blowing you all over the bay.
