A drogue allows you more time to fish productive water.
Slow your drift by 75% and catch more fish.
These drogues were developed by Mike Stevens from the Peter Hayes drogue design that many will be familiar with. It uses a mesh material, which makes it set more easily, is lighter, more compact and easier to handle. The mesh allows a small amount of water to filter through. The mesh means you don’t pull large amounts of water into the boat, but still allows you to set your drift like using a sail.
These drogues comes complete with bridle straps, floatation in the top and 5mm galvanised chain incorporated in the bottom. You will need to add line from the drogue to boat.
Suitable for use in fresh or salt water.
