trolling bag question?

[forefathers]

I run 2 bags off the mid ship (21ft boat) amish outfitter bags. I bought cheaper bags to start , I'm sold now they are the best. Thee system works great bags off the sides give me all the room anyone could want for trolling and tons of control. I can work the bags higher our lower in the water to change speed and direction its awesome! I tun two 24 bags

Here's a chart to help you with size of bag needed and a link with more information and where you can purchase

Size of Sea Anchor ** Length of Boat

15" Sea Anchor ** 16' - 19' boat

18" Sea Anchor ** 16' - 19' boat

22" Sea Anchor ** 14' - 24'boat

28" Sea Anchor ** 24' - 30' boat

36" Sea Anchor ** 28' - 32' boat

I use two 28in bags on my sportcraft with the same motor at idle. If you don't want idle you will have to go bigger. I also carry one of every other size up to 6 foot wide for early spring and late fall fishing.

Ok so if the 28 do it at idle the 36 or 48 should do what I need for sure.... Why do u carry all the other size bags if the 28 work for u?

Oh and thanks for everyone's advise keep it coming anyone else use bags out there sound like the Amish outfitted one r the best any one used the 36 s or 48 s on the 272 what rpm and speed will they do say with 2 36 s

I run a 27 Sport with the same motor and it takes 2 48" bags to get down to around 1.8 mph. The 36" bags would only do around 2.5 so I took them back. The boat normally idles at 3.3 mph or so (In my opinion it idles too high and I haven't looked into lowering it). I bought the bags from Highway Bait out of necessity. I couldn't find 2 36" bags at the time anywhere. I haven't had any trouble with them but don't have many hours on them so I can't say as to how they will hold up. Good Luck!
