The Water Strider Drift Anchor is ideal to slow the drift down on windy days while fishing a lake or still water eddies and lagoons. Weather you are fishing lakes in New Zealand, Montana or in your own area it is a great aid to slow the drift down. I like to use an 8’ section of rope and just hang it out the back with the wind blowing over my shoulder and use my fins to maintain the proper angle to fish. If you want to drift sideways to the wind just attach it to one of the d-rings on the handle assemblies. With all Water Strider products I always try to make them functional, durable and as light as possible. The Water Strider Drift Anchor fit all of these requirements. The Drift Anchor comes in a vinyl zipper bag so it lays flat in the bag and carries any place you go and you always have it when you need it. The Drift Anchor weigh is only 10 ounces.
