Best Marine and Outdoors Kayak Anchor, 3.5 Pound Anchor System Kit for Kayaks, Canoes, SUP Paddle Boards & Jet Skis, Fishing, Boating & Kayaking Accessories

Oh, man. I wish I had this at the last protest! It’s heavy, beefy, but with a flick of the wrist, the tines expand and you can toss this sucker like you were playing Jarts against your cousin that broke your Tie-Fighter toy when you were 8! 40’ rope is adequate for cousins, but I’m using it for a fishing kayak. The beaner clip is nice, and the bag it comes in fits perfectly when not in “tossing it at your cousin” mode. It’s a good fit on my kayak, tucks in perfectly. Warn your cousin you took Jarts up a notch.

Well you need an anchor without it you ain't nothing

I am a paddle boarder and I questioned how much this would actually be able to hold two people in a spot when we want to take a break and relax. I used it in a lake and it was moderately windy. It was perfect and we got to lay out and relax. We didn’t drift away at all. I also love that it is easily packable. I have a back pocket in my life jacket that this fits into with other items.

Purchased two! Used for the first time and unfortunately, we “assumed” the rope was tied securely to the anchor…NOT…lost them both at the anchor knot. Be sure to check/re-secure the rope. Otherwise, for the amount of time they were intack, great for kayaks/fishing!

This was perfect for my 2024 Yamaha VX Cruiser HO. I really like the padded carrying bag it comes with. Fits perfectly in my console storage area. With other anchors I had issues with them being too big, and putting them in the front storage without a case was also an issue as the anchors damaged the storage area. This one solves all those issues and will hold my ski anywhere I need to. Love the green color too. Great!

I have not used it yet as soon as I do I will let you know.

Value for money

6/6/22 - initial review 1st use:Let’s remember this is a 3.5 lb anchor.Tried it out this last weekend and it did pretty good. I’ll try to update and show what the salt eats up after some use.Pros:Foldable and packs away nicely.Light enough to not notice it in the back of a sit on top kayak.Once pushed into the sand halfway it was more than capable to keep the kayak anchored even with a person+gear in it.After an hour, it had not drifted more than 2 inches with moderate chop and current. Comes with plenty of rope as anchors normally do better the more rope you let out/less angle.Cons:Design is more like a grappling hook and not like a modern boat anchor meaning it’s not going to secure or bury itself into the sand the more you pull on it so you might have to step on it or push it into the sand. Seems like a fair trade off for being foldable and 3.5lbs.
