Using Wave Tamer Sea Anchors Offshore

It doesn't matter if you are fishing the shallow flats in the most remote regions of the backwaters, or 20 miles offshore chasing billfish. Wind, waves, current and tide play a huge part in finding and catching quality fish. Literally thousands of articles have been written on how to catch, what to use, where to find, how to land, and what equipment to use. Not to mention boat models, shapes, lengths, widths. Then enter lures, baits, tackle, rods, and reels. It’s a never ending story.

All of these mentioned items are important, but many of them are useless if you can’t control your boat. It's easy to fish when conditions are calm and tides or currents are light, but when conditions change to 20-knot winds creating heavy seas or current conditions in even the shallow water, there is little you can do. Outside of sailboats you will blow the way the wind blows, period. This is where a quality drift bag or sea anchor can rescue an otherwise wasted day.

For years fishermen have been using sea anchors that were designed for safety purposes. These sea anchors were intended mainly for one-time deployment for long periods of time. These products are difficult to use as well as expensive and may not be suited for fishing at all because of their difficulty.

Finally, what this has led to is the design of a new sea anchor- the Wave Tamer.

It can be used by almost anyone, not just the seasoned pro.

The Wave Tamer is made for fishing, and can be used for safety purposes as well. What a Wave Tamer does is that it allows you to slow your boat for better bait presentations, or it can position your boat for proper drift angles. This is very important when casting flies or lures, or for using kites in heavy seas.

When drifting, most boats have a tendency to drift bow down wind. This is because of the extra weight of your motors and drag that is created by them, where the bow is lighter and blows around much easier. By deploying a Wave Tamer off the wind ward side of your boat you can change this problem to a parallel drift by moving the Wave Tamer closer to the bow of your boat. By deploying a Wave Tamer off the very bow your boat can change to a bow to the wind drift for a more comfortable day of fishing.

Again the Wave Tamer is designed for the rigors of fishing, because it has large floats on the top of the opening coupled with weights on the lower straps, this means the Wave Tamer will not spin, and it will stay on the surface, plus it’s so easy to deploy.

The Wave Tamer is made to stand up to fishing pressures, techniques and weather conditions by having state of the art marine quality materials along with top notch workmanship. This superior combination adds up to a product that actually performs better than thought possible, especially under stressful situations.

What makes the Wave Tamer a new leader in the fishing industry is that it contains materials that most others simply do not have. The Wave Tamer was patented with a spring in the opening to allow for immediate deployment, this alone enables this bag to out perform all others. In addition, the Wave Tamers are made from 100% polyester to ensure long life because polyester is superior to nylon, as it does not absorb water, and will not rot.
Add all this quality and various sizes makes this product the best choice in sea anchors.

The Wave Tamers are available in many different sizes to fit your fishing and boating needs. For smaller boats and trolling the 30", 40" and 50” fill this need. The larger boats will want some options, so choosing a 72”, 84” or even the 9' Wave Tamer will control the 24' to 30' boats nicely. These sea anchors work great alone or in tandem. For the larger boats or the worst conditions the Wave Tamer 9', 11' or 14' sea anchors will handle almost anything Mother Nature can throw at you.
