Native Anchor Trolley - Product Reviews
Return to Native Anchor Trolley Product Details.
Price: $38.99
Description: The Native Watercraft anchor trolley allows your anchor to be relocated from bow to stern or anywhere in between. This system is great for kayakers who like to fish on both rivers and lakes and who have the need for different anchoring positions. The clip and ring design of the Native Watercraft Anchor Trolley allows you to remove the clip from the ring and have an instant line to tow or secure your boat with (great for wading or tying off on shore).
ACK Review: Anchor your Native kayak (or any kayak for that matter) at the bow or the stern, no more frustration that the wind is blowing you or the current it taking you and you keep getting turn around. This trolley solves it all.

| Review: | Nice Product. However, I modified it a bit to keep the line from stretching over time. I installed a piece of bungee from one side of the system to the Kayak using a Pad-Eyerear of the craft. This keeps the system tight to the Kayak. | ||||||||

| Review: | Excellent product. I have one anchor trolley installed on each side of my Ultimate 12. It is perfect for a drift chute so I can control the position of my kayak no matter what the direction of the wind is. Perfect for bass and pike fishing in lakes. | ||||||||

| Review: | This anchor trolley is a great concept. It does what it is suppose to do, and is a great quality part. There are alot of ways to build your own, but this is fast and easy to do, and it looks good. You can spend more time on the water! ACK service is at its best! | ||||||||

| Review: | This is the only part of my Ultimate that I can do without. I put it in, but being trapped in a boat with a stuck anchor, with only 6 to 8 inches of freeboard,,,,I think you get my point. | ||||||||

| Review: | The bungee cord built into the kit snapped the first time I tried to anchor. Got my kayak all fouled up in swift current, just about killed me. | ||||||||

| Review: | This is by far the best anchor trolley on the market, if you are drilling holes in your kayak. It is a complete kit with everything you need for the install. Once you put one on you will not go with out one, easiest way to rotate your kayak. | ||||||||

| Review: | The installation instructions needed to be a lot more descriptive, as to the placement of the hardware. The system works well while fishing. | ||||||||

| Review: | Best anchor trolley system I've seen or used. Bought one for my wife's kayak. Liked it so much, I bought a second one to replace the trolley kit on my kayak that was installed by the dealer. Native items seem a bit pricey, but well worth the cost in this case. | ||||||||

| Review: | Excellent product. Easy to Install. Only suggestion would be to incorporate a length of bungee cord between line and ring to keep line tight. Not a big problem for me because I added the bungee myself. | ||||||||

| Review: | This thing is a lot stronger then I ever thought. I put it to the test by anchoring in river flood current and it held! You may have to tighten and retie the line after it stretches but no biggie. Great product. | ||||||||

| Review: | I helped a friend of mine install this kit on his Native 14.5 propel. All the parts were present, the problem we had was with the pulleys. Once any kind of tension was placed on the trolley line, the pulleys sounded like a pair of chainsaws. I have this same type of kit installed on my hobie and i can hear this noise with mine but it is very faint. I attribute this noisy operation to either bad bearings in the pulleys or the open design of the native hull. Probably a combination of both. I recently purchased the ultimate 14.5 and I will not be using this kit for my setup. | ||||||||

| Review: | The trolley system was somewhat easy to install and is made from quality material. My first concern was placing the system so that it didn't interfere with the adapt-a-track. Once installed, I noticed that the rope would ride-up into the well below the adapt-a-track. I fixed this by installing a plastic cable clamp (the type used to secure electrical cables) mid point to clamp the upper rope. One problem I had during install was the the supplied hardware came with two different sized nuts for some reason. I also installed a jam cleat on my kayak to secure the desired scope of anchor line - I can't figure out how it's suppose to work other wise. I can't say I get 100% positioning with the trolley - when the wind blows the yak will move to some degree and nothing can prevent that. Yet I don't regret the purchase. One note to Native - why not include suggested markings on the kayak as where accessories should be placed? And include the cheap cable clamp to keep the trolley rope from riding up. BTW - customer support from ACK is awesome! | ||||||||

| Review: | It seems to work very well. I mounted a jam cleat on the boat to hold it in position. Without it the ring will always go to the end of the boat. The ring and clip are plastic but they seem to hold things OK. | ||||||||

| Review: | I purchased this Anchor Trolley system for my Manta Ray 12 after reading a lot of great reviews out there. I love the fact they make plenty of accessories to match my kayak. Installation was easy and it works great. The rollers are pretty quick so I've added a rope stop to my kayak to keep the anchor positioned where I need it, but other then this - it's a nicely designed product. | ||||||||
