I bought mine from sportsman warehouse for 22 dollars and my boat is 16 footer and I got the sock rated for 18-22 foot boat. Bigger is better to slow your boat down during winds.
I usually use just one but if the winds are very strong then two comes in handy.
You just rope it off to a cleat on the rail of the boat. I've got two cleats for that purpose on each side for each sock.
You will accomplish very slow drifting with them and slowest is the best of all for walleye presentation. They don't like things going too fast past their toothy grins...
As for trolling and dragging drift socks, I've heard of people do that but if you have the troller's plate then don't need to do that, especially if you have a small electric motor.
