I don't troll but like a slow drift when plugging. I have a drift sock that works well. However, Like they said above.. a 5 gal buckets w/ a ton of 1" holes drilled works great. 1 on each side of the stern.

FYI,
1. Remove handle: make new handle w/1/2” line
2. Tie a line to rope handle and cleat.
Add an additional line to bottom. The line to the bottom of the bucket will dump the water so you are not lifting 50#’s of weight.

	1 @ 32 Pledge. Our beloved Striped Bass are in trouble AGAIN. I fished through the lean years and don't want to live through another collapse of the stock. 2 fish @ 28" is ridiculous.
