Perfect little ancor for using in a kayak. Nice quality and design that folds for storage. Kept my kayak from moving in blue water up in Mainie. Great purchase! Fast shipping.

There are no sharp edges, so it works great with an inflatable kayak. They are very very generous with the rope, at least for my needs. That said, I typically bring in water 10 feet or less, so you be the judge of rope needs.

I'm happy with my purchase.

Good for anchoring and fishing. Movable link for maneuvering after you anchor. There is plenty of rigging line to tie the anchor to from both sides of your kayak. There is a long 50 Ft. anchor line; I had no problem anchoring in deep areas of the wild & scenic Loxahatchee River. In the Indian River of Florida, I encountered sand and had to cast the anchor several times before it would catch. However, with the right bottom conditions it will work (i.e. rocky, etc.) on the first toss. It is excellent for slow moving current and non-windy days. Also, it has a circular slide clamping ring for storage that sometimes slides over the folding anchor prongs, rendering them unusable, until it is retrieved and thrown in again. Additionally, if you do not rig your kayak for anchor maneuverability, you could be risking yourself in rapid currents & tides but that is true for all anchors, therefore the extra rigging line, carabiners and sliding hoop are provided.

didn;t like it at all had to replace it anchor is to small 1.5 LBS so if there is any wind or tide's you will not say in one place

I used the Seattle Sports Kayak Fishing Anchor Kit most of the summer while fishing
on tidal flats from an inflatable Kayak. Excellent anchoring system for inflatable Kayaks. Included rope is very generous in length and the snap rings an valuable asset.

I bought this to use while fishing on local lakes. I didn't think much of the anchor since it was so small, but it held tight enough for me to pull the yak back to the anchor. Be sure to buy a cleat to use as a tie point.
