drifting bucket

Does anyone use a bucket to slow down your drift?
When I'm drift fishing its a must to keep the offering as close to the bottem as possible. When wind and current are opposite I'll power drift in reverse to catch up with my bait so I can stay in the zone longer. I have hard time staying that zone when the current is cranking. Its hard feel your bait when you have to let out so much line because of all the slack. How much will a 5 gal bucket slow you down? Some guys drill holes, what does that do? How much line on the bucket? Do you add weight to the bucket?
