I love the size of the anchor. I'm not, however, a fan of the Clevis
attachment. I didn't check it and the second time I used it, the
threaded pin loosened up and the anchor feel off. I'd suggest if you
buy this anchor that you hook it directly to your rope with a carabiner
hook.
In my case, the rough cast design resulted in a product which fails to
lock in the folded position - rather disappointing. It would cost more to
return it than it is worth.
perfect for a kayak.
It has a little ring that has
a notch thread in it, so that
when your not using it, the
fins are kept back, great
idea. It digs in well, so its
more resistance than weight,
that keeps you in one place.
Small, but effective for still
to mild flowing river and
creeks on a kayak, the grip
this little ancor will take to
a sand bar is perfect, order
it, you wont be dissappointed.
The 1.5 pound folding anchor
works well with my 14 foot
Wilderness-Tarpon in windy
(less than 15 mph) conditions.
It's been used in muddy, rocky
and sandy bottoms. It's
compact when folded and
product quality is also good.
The folding anchor was of
moderate quality but was
adequate for the price.
The pins holding the flukes
was of mild steel thus easily
bent and affected the ability
for the flukes to fold
consistently.
I throw them up on the bank (fore and aft) to hold my small duck boat up against the bank while duck hunting. They work well for that purpose. Quality of product not the best but well worth the price. Shipping and handling was very reasonable.
I was very satisfied with the service I received. The delivery time was great and the product was exactly what I needed and wanted. I will use your services and products in the future as needed.
I like this anchor. Small and light weight. In deep water and big winds you might need something a bit heavier. I like it for back waters in about 12 feet of water or less.
This Anchor works well in freshwater with rocky bottoms, mud and such. However on sandy bottoms, especially in salt, the anchor tends to drag instead of seat. Higher winds prevailed on my OK Prowler 15. I do like the compact and ease of use. If you are looking for something to use in higher winds (+15 mph/kt) i would go with a heavier version.
For my 12' fishing kayak, this anchor was perfect. Light and easy to maneuver, pull up, put down and even throw. The only thing that could be diff is the u-bolt that's on top of it. I lost my first anchor because this bolt unscrews by itself. I got another anchor (same one) and put some epoxy on the threads of the bolt and tightened it up. It's a great anchor for a bit of wind or current. Well worth the $$$.
For me this anchor holds very well, except for in really soft, soupy bottoms where it tends to drag. But to help it hold you in a strong current, you need to have plenty of chain on it between the anchor and the rope. You would be best to anchor bow-on or stern-on to the current because this cuts resistance down compared to if you anchored broadside to the current.
This anchor is great for small rivers and lakes. Its very small and portable. However, it had problems holding in a high-wind saltwater environment. If you are using it for moderately windy freshwater waters, its a good choice. However, if you are anchoring in rough seas and high winds, I would recommend a heavier or different style anchor.
