Break away drift chain

Non-sense. Drift chain with an inner tube shock absorber.

My mistake.  Ham is correct.

I agree with the inner tube shock absorber, that is something I learned from Ham,  however, i use a heavy wire connection that will break away under heavy load, due to experience fishing folks out who's anchor or chain "hung" everyone of them had a knife right there so they could cut the rope in the event of a incident..... none were able.

I once found myself standing in Wildcat Shoals, luckily still with my rod, my glasses, and my life. Seems the chain hung just as I was casting. My motion and the boats sudden lack of motion combined to help me execute a standing 360 flip into the water. The cheers from the crowd (6 of us were fishing together, two to a boat) were almost loud enough to to be heard over the laughter.
