Comes with a small float, rope and a clip - basically, it's a complete set.

No pics at the moment....

.....I just figured that - if I need to deploy a wind sock when I'm out fishing, I might as well paddle in and call it a day  :smt002

Probably... because the taxman is known to bite them.  :shark
After those two incidents off Davenport last year, I'm thinking I really don't need mine either. :smt002

Ummm...what "incidents"? I hadn't heard anything about sharks attacking drift socks. And when I search the internet, nothing comes up.
Anybody care to shed some light?

Thanks!

I wasn't surprised when I heard about it.  Shark researchers have been successfully enticing whiteys to bite at a seal silhouettes trolled behind a boat.  The fact that my drift chute is black and the about the size of a seal pup doesn't make me feel good about using it from a yak.  If I was going to use it, I would add a section of 10lb mono as a breakaway line.

Mine is BRIGHT yellow and I used it last Friday at Anchor bay when the winds kicked up.
Didn't really do me too much good as i didn't get a single hit while I was using it.
I think it will work best just as the winds kick up, but if they are prolonged I am with Mooch when he says call it a day.
