The paddle is very nice, it is light weight and easily adjustable. I really like the grip teeth on the blade and the hook makes this paddle a no brainer for a fisherman. It did come with the handle scratched up in several places though. If I had it to do over I would have had separate shipping. The paddle was in an appropriate sized box and it was fine to put the fishing ruler in along with hook keepers, but the anchor came in it as well in a plastic bag that it fell out of in shipping. There was no padding of any kind in the box. The paddle was in a plastic bag, the fishing ruler was in a plastic bag, the hook keepers were in a plastic box that was crushed, but they are fine. I thought for $40 shipping and combined shipping at that, the anchor should of been in a Styrofoam or cardboard box at least. Live and learn!
The fish ruler is great. It floats, it folds from 12" to 36" and can be locked in place. I was a little surprised to find a permanent marker in the ruler to make the letters black on top. It is all the same color so the black does speed up measuring in poor lighting.
The anchor is exactly what you would expect it to be, an anchor. Everything seems to work as it should the coating is even and looks to be thick enough for years of use.
Thius 3 lb anchor is great and does a fantastic job holding my kayak
in the wind on Northern Indiana lakes. Have not had an opportunity
to try it on any rivers yet.
This holds my Perception Pescador nicely in a stiff wind. Rig it so
that the anchor line breaks away to a permanent knot on the top
where the flukes are and you should almost always be able to
retrieve it. The only draw back is the locking piece is practically
useless to hold the flukes in place when the anchor is not in use
although it does keep the flukes held in the open position well
when deployed . A solid 4 stars only because the moving parts have
a lot of play, but hey it's an anchor.
Solid anchor for my feelfree lure 11.5. Holds up well and has only once
been unable to anchor me in place. That time was due to the 25 - 30
mph winds that day.
Just got this, and agreed the quality seems a lot shabbier than the one
I bought about 10 years ago at WestMarine. Oh well. That old one
got snagged last week and is now sleeping in Davy Jones' locker. So
the fit and finish isn't as good, but the reality is it will be slamming
around on rocks and stumps and mud and muck on the bottom.
Pretty sure it will do what it is supposed to do. From what I
remember, I also paid about $20, 10 years ago, so I'll be alright with
this one unless it breaks into pieces.
I have been out fishing numerous times since I have had the trolley
unit. The ability to use the anchor trolley with the great functionality
of the folding anchor have made my days on the water a lot more
enjoyable. The anchor is easy to store and it holds well to the bottom
surfaces of the lakes I have fished on.
great for my kayak...works really well...i use it for crabbing and fishing
off my kayak...keeps my kayak in one place on a windy day...i love
it...5 stars rating
Nice little anchor... just know that it is very light and is not going to
hold in a strong wind/tide situation. However, it's perfect for light
conditions in water too deep for a stake-out pole.
These 3# folding grapnel type anchors are somewhat the standard in
for kayak fishing. Heavy enough to hold you in current, fold up for
storage and not overly heavy for lugging around. That said, I'm not
thrilled with this one (or others like them.) The casting tends to be
crude and the fit of the flukes and locking ring excessively sloppy.
Even when locked open or closed there is allot of play in the flukes.
Also, Mine weighed in at 3.4# which is more than I'd like (and
advertised). I'd be allot happier if this anchor wasn't so clunky and
offered in a 2.5# version. I'll likely replace it with something better
once I find/make it but it will have to do for now.
Great little anchor for a canoe! Holds well because of the shape of
the tines but doesn't weigh a lot. My only regret is that I didn't tie
my first one on well enough so had to buy another!
This is the folding anchor that you want. I have
two and use one in New York state and one in
Florida. This anchor has the weight and design to
hold your boat in most circumstances. Don't even
think about the one pound version unless you
need it to hold a string of duck decoys...even then
I think it's too light.
I finally used my anchors the
weekend before hurricane Isaac
came through the Tampa Bay
area in FL. Even with the
strong
currents and a bit of extra
wind, the anchors worked
nicely.
Nice anchors BUT was Very
disappointed in how sloppy the
locking cap or collar fits the
shaft diameter and in the lock
position. DOES NOT LOCK TINES
IN OPEN position or fit shaft
well? Ive seen similer anchors
at my local West Michigan area
marine stores and were the
same in all respects other
than the poor fit of the
locking cap/collar. Others
locked positive...I will have
to make it work some way other
than pay the shipping to
return them.
It's a nice little anchor.
Add a 3ft chain and you can
hold in pretty good current.
This is my second one because
my first is on the bottom of
the Columbia river.
I rigged a small chain to the
top of the anchor and attached
a rope to the chain. This
allows the claws to dig in and
really anchor my Kayak. Since
doing that this anchor has
worked every time, even in a
good wind.
There's a method for rigging
these anchors that makes them
reversible (i.e., you can
dislodge them if they get hung
without
capsizing yourself), that
entails installing an anchor
shackle on the
Crown end (the bottom, that's
why the hole is there),
attaching the
anchor line there, and then
using a thin zip-tie to attach
the line to
the anchor's Eye. In this
fashion, if the anchor hangs,
you yank the
line hard enough to break the
zip tie, the anchor flips
over, and
away you go.
A heavy split ring or a
carabiner will work instead of
an anchor
shackle, but I found that 1/4"
dia. carabiners wouldn't pass
through the crown eyelet. I
don't see any anchor shackles
in the
ACK catalog, would be a handy
thing to add!
My only complaint about the
anchor itself is that it might
be nice
to include a sheet with
information about rigging it,
like how to tie
an anchor knot and how to do
the reversible rigging.
i guess you get what you pay for. i have used this type anchor before and was satisfied but this version seems loose and not a positive lock on the arms by the lock ring, the arms will also fall out in the upright position.
Holds surprisingly well against current and wind in the smaller sloughs of the Sacramento River Delta. I haven't tried it in the main channel yet. Make sure you let out enough scope of line to engage anchor. It won't set if you don't have enough line out. I use 100 feet of line for depths of under 30 feet.
A:
There isn't any specific mount, so any anchor trolley kit will work.
