The drag issue is primary and the DB wins hands down. You need a large one to anchor up and play the fish and pulling the tooner against the current to pull the anchor is next to impossible in some cases. You dont have stand up leverage or a buddy to pull or row. Tooners really shine for a downstream taxi to get out and fish the slots and drifts. You also have to dress a lot warmer for that cause your in the water most of the day. You pay for white water performance whether you use it or not.
