Great review of an interesting product, and helpful tips, too! I suggest a double-turn half hitch for a tighter connection without the bowline loop/tag end which could get hung-up...

Ok good idea, I think I can picture that yes.

@stephensmith5856 3 жыл бұрын

Can you only put them on "nice" boats? Also choose a knot that slips down onto the anchor ring and you will greatly reduce the swing of the anchor.

You might try a thimble and an anchor knot.

The nylon rope looked as if it was fraying? I realize that isn't a problem with the anchor but might be a problem none the less if you lose it?

Oh no that was just the tag end, that is a brand new rope.

Great review! I have a 12'x 58" River Rat. Do you think I could get away with the 24lb anchor or should I go bigger with the 30 or 35?

@onisgagan2481 2 жыл бұрын

I have an 11 1/2 foot Watermaster Bruin and run the 24lb. I’m in Montana on some good size rivers, never had an issue so far…

I run both the 14# and 18# on two different WM Bruin boats (slightly smaller than your boat) and either is fine. I personally like a light anchor, so I would max at 24#, that will be a great match! We're ready to ship it, shop here - redsflyfishing.com/products/tornado-anchors-1

Do they make a winch for a stern drop anchor system, with the pullies in play? Or just a direct drop? I put a motor on my drift boat so it kinda switched things up. Just curious if there's something out there that you know of.

@robfred2713 9 күн бұрын

Can you easily add plates and jack it up to say 45 lbs (bigger boat), or remove plates and drop it down to 25 lbs (smaller boat)?

@redsflyshop 7 күн бұрын

You could, but they do build anchors in various weights. The problem becomes the nut and threaded stud gets pretty banged up so it's not always possible to just thread and unthread it. But yes absolutely you could buy a 45# anchor and scale it up and down.

@@redsflyshop Thx. I'm thinking put several nuts on the exposed threads of the threaded rod to protect the threads - the jam nut concept. Appreciate all your videos - planning to retire on the upper north Platte river in SE WY and put your tactics to use - took a drift rowing lesson with your shop years back..
