I have been looking at getting a drift sock for my 2 man bass boat but got to thinking when I upgrade to a jon(hopefully 14ft) will I be able to use the same size on it too. Also the place I am going to get one the smallest is 36 inches, would that be too big for my 8 footer bass boat? Thanks.

5 gallon bucket. Should do it for that 8' boat.

There is no "one size fits all" when it comes to drift control.

Most of the time a five gallon bucket does the trick for my canoe.  When it's really windy, I drift faster than I'd like and could use a second bucket or a drift sock that produces more drag than the bucket.

You're dealing with two factors, the boat, and wind speed.

The only changable factor in that equation is the drift anchor.
