Snuffer with a summetrical spinnaker

[cmedsailor]

I have a symmetrical spinnaker which unfortunately I use very rarely, probably 2-3 times a year during a club race. I would love to be able to use it more often, for example when cruising with my wife and kids (so basically the wife could help a little bit). Could a snuffer (sock) be a solution? Sorry if this is a silly question but since I mostly find information and videos on the web for using a snuffer with asymmetrical spinnakers, do they work well with symmetrical too? Anybody with a link on how it is used with a symmetrical spinnaker (just cannot understand how to handle the pole during pulling up and down the sock)?
Thanks

Mine works just fine with a sym on a pole.

I do not know if this is the 'right' way to do it but I ease the pole sheet until the spi is starting to collapse then pull down the sock.

Yes, snuffers are great when short handed or even single handed as they allow you to control things much better. I race single handed and use mine with just an autopilot to help!

Yes, I use a snuffer with my spinnaker and it works fine.
