First and foremost, Bob (Classic25) is a great guy and handled the transaction very professionally as we had numerous conversations about my personal application and what he thought would be best suited.Now for the background:

I own an older 25' Sea Vee (bracketed boat non-euro transom) w/ twin outboards. I had a difficult time deciding between the 10 and 14 foot bags as the bag would solely be used for kite fishing to maintain the bow into the wind/sea as I have two 6' bags for bow and stern for drifting side to. So we spoke regarding the use of his drift bag for this application and advised that the 10 would likely work but the 14 would no doubt achieve what I was looking to do and thus the purchase made. Received the bag in 3 days, a high quality piece for the money and put it to work a day later. Winds blowing out of the east app. 20 knots, 2 kites fished off transom and the bag performed flawless, with the bow stuck into the waves/wind. I feel I needed every bit of the larger bag (14) even on this sized boat for that days conditions in case one was on the fence. If anyone needs any feedback please PM Bob or myself.

Lastly, Bob explained that the bag could be a handful if one has never used a bag this large. I have fished many boats w/ paratechs this large, and larger, and the bag was honestly no sweat once it was setup in the boat ready to deploy, which could also be done by 1 person once familiarized.

1love, glad it worked out for you. Intended application and typical conditions are important when selecting a size. I enjoyed our conversations, and many thanks for the feedback!
Tight Lines!

I hardly anchor anymore on the Gause. The drift sock is great.

Glad it is working out for you!

I've always heard about guys using drift socks in SE florida. Everyone tells me they're great! I will be drifting livies and kite fishing on my 31' Jupiter. It's LOA is over 33' and weighs about 11,000. would a 120" get the job done or a 14'

If you look at my previous post I would personally suggest the 14. In relatively low wind conditions the smaller may work, but IMO if fishing in winds 15 knots or greater, provided you want the bow to stay into the wind, you will want the larger of the two especially on a boat that size. I'm sure Classic will chime in.

26 regulator plan on doing high speed jigging and don't want to anchor would be doing short drifts over structure and along ledges what size would you recommend.

Could I occasionally use the drift bag as a trolling bag?

Do you have any 60" bags left

Classic25

Hi Navtech, I would say the smaller bags would work fine with smaller boats, but for trolling, the constant load is better handled by the trolling bags. ( see the link in my sig )

Classic25

Not on hand, but I do have all the components on hand to have one made in a couple of days if you would like one. They are on the list of things to get done soon.... Thank you for the inquiry

harbor

60" I will wait for one
