One of the most important factors for consistently catching fish is boat control. When you’re at the mercy of the wind, presenting a lure at the right speed and depth can be a challenge whether you’re trolling, casting or drifting the hot bite. An affordable solution for controlling boat speed so you can stay on fish is Bass Pro Shops Extreme Drift Anchor.
The idea of a drift anchor is pretty straight forward. As your boat is pushed across the water by the wind, deploying a drift anchor slows you down; much like a parachute keeps someone from gaining too much speed when they jump from an airplane. Place the drift anchor in the right position on the boat, and you can achieve a completely horizontal drift. That way everyone onboard gets an equal shot.
The Bass Pro Shops Extreme Drift Anchor is a proven and economical way to ensure your boat is well positioned and moving at the right speed. Built from durable marine grade polyester with a polyurethane coating, the anchor has a new strap reinforcement design, ensuring reliable performance season after season. The 76-inch tethering strap has corrosion-resistant clips for easy attachment to your boat. Bass Pro Shops’ keel-and-float system allows the anchor to deploy fast and keeps it from spinning and twisting the straps. Bringing the anchor back aboard is easy with a strengthened retrieval strap, which removes resistance by forcing water from the deployed anchor.
The Extreme Drift Anchor is available in seven sizes, ranging from 18 inches, perfect for smaller boats, all the way up to 54 inches. There is an anchor for every boat and weather condition. The compact design makes for easy storage, so you can always have a way to keep fishing. Get one for your boat by going to http://www.basspro.com/ or your nearest Bass Pro Shops® store.
