2.2 Hook Type Anchor
|
All Our Anchors Come With a 35 ft Line Standard
|
-"Anchor line or anchor chain?"
A line is lighter than a chain and
therefore we recommend it.
We supply each anchor with a 35 ft long 1/4" thick Polypropylene rope,
which is lighter than water and therefore it floats.
The rope comes either in yellow or in black - You choose the color that
best fits your needs.
Tip:
Check
the line's integrity from time to time before going fishing, and make
sure the anchor is well secured to your W Kayak before you drop it in
the water.

Anchoring Systems
You may
want to achieve a higher level of
control over your kayak's position. In order to do that you can use a
trolley system in flat water or an anchor pulley in moving water - More information about fishing kayak anchors

-"What
size anchor to
choose - Big or Small?"
-If you're going to
use your kayak for fishing in ponds or small
and protected lakes the 1.5 lb anchor would suffice. However, if
you're going to fish in moving water such as bigger lakes, rivers and
in the ocean you'd better take the 3.5 lb anchor.
|
-"Where
is the best place
to drop the anchor?"
-There are several
possibilities and eventually you'll find out for
yourself through experimentation. Generally, we would advise you to
drop the anchor between the hull tips. Whether you drop it in
front of the cockpit or behind it depends only on whether you want to
face the wind, current and waves or not.
|
-"Can
I use more than one
anchor?"
-Absolutely.
However, in case you're exposing the broad side of
your boat to lateral waves the result may be some discomfort and
occasional splashes.

Note:
We do not sell
anchors separately from our boats
