Ive found that the Ocean

Sun, 2014-01-26 13:25

Ive found that the Ocean South ones, while quite well made, are way too small for what they say they are suitable for.
A modified woolbag or garnet/bulkie bag can be a practical alternative.

 Another plug for Oceanside.

Sun, 2014-01-26 16:05

 Another plug for Oceanside. Get their biggest one, comes prerigged, deploying just throw it over and seems to unravel itself, easy retrieve. Pulls our 6.25 up well.

Don't have measurements.

Try the search, been a few previous threads.
