That is called a spinnaker clip. Used to attach to the clew of a spinnaker sail. Can be unfastened remotely with a small line in case you need to dump the sail in a hurry. Good idea.

Great idea using that quick release clasp. Makes it easy and fast to release with tension on the anchor line. I'm in the process of rigging up the same setup. Thanks for sharing.

This is definitely the safest and smartest way to run a trolley system. Attaching directly to the O Ring is dangerous because it can either be at the bow or stern, or even worse get pulled under your yak. I would tie a small nylon rope to the disconnect ring and attach a brightly colored handle to it, like a ripcord on a parachute. That way you can just yank that and you are instantly cut free. Also this is nice because you don't have to attach a cleat to your side and have the possibility of that getting bound up on accident. I'll probably do a retractable that attaches to the float then to the anchor. You can easily dump the entire rig if need be, and also never have to worry about loose lines laying around.

I just went out in a kayak for the first time two days ago with a friend of mine who let me borrow one of his. I have a fishing kayak on order that is due in at the end of the month and I have been doing research to see how to do these things. Thank you very much for this video as it answered a lot of my questions.

Awesome, been looking for a simple easy way to have a quick release anchor system and you my friend nailed it. Very much appreciate you sharing your little hack.

Thank you for sharing.I have just been on EBay and ordered one myself plus I have subscribed to your page.Keep these videos coming mate and stay safe.From Lincoln in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🛶👍😊

Hey man, this definitely helped me! I have the same Yak Attack HD anchor trolley system installed. I normally fish in the flats and anchor with a stick pin. Being able to quickly cut away isn't a huge concern back there, but recently I've been fishing some waters where it's a bigger concern, and was looking at a secondary anchor setup when I'm doing that. This was REALLY helpful. Thanks again.

You got a boat, a hot rod and your health. You are a fortunate man.

Would also recommend using an appropriately sized cam cleat. No mechanical part that could fail and is super fast to unclip even under extreme tension.

Only 2 problems I saw with this set up is - 1 You don't have a Rudder (you need a rudder and the retract ball is on that side of the kayak) and 2 - The anchor line runs from your seat frame which is inside the Kayak all the way up to the front or back and it will tangle on anything you have on the side of your kayak wether it be rod holders or accessories on the tracks or a crate out back with stuff off the sides or rods out of the rear rod holders. Great Kayak, I have the BF 120 myself, love it.

I just did the same thing to my kayak. Thanks for the instructions.

Excellent video 🙏🏻 this is going to be my set up now

Amazing video i bought some stuff today for a retractable anchor line but after seeing this im gunna b returning it and doing this... KEEP POSTING 👍

looks like the setup works well, other then the rattling around making a bunch of noise

Nice looking setup. Thanks for the info

This is hands down an awesome way!

This is an exellent idea and great presentation. Thanks for posting!

Outstanding video. Thanks for posting. 👍👍

As we say in Da'Burgh...WINNER, WINNER, CHICKEN DINNER! I had to sacrifice my QR slip knot system when I "upgraded/complicated" my system with an anchor wizzard...I now have new hope, LOL.

Thank you for the info. I have been looking for something like this!!

Right on man...good tip!!

Thanks for the tip! Very helpful, keep healthy and safe

That’s a clever set up. I’m going to try that out 👍.

Absolute genius love it 👍🏼

You can also tie a slip clove hitch on the rail, works the same.

Great tip! I'm gonna try it! Related question, how do you wrap up the anchor line once when you done using it for the day?

Great idea, thanks.

Great video, thanks!!

How did you in stall the anchor trolley. What kind of screws if you can't get inside the hull

Brilliant idea! Do you always deploy the same amount of anchor line?

Thank you for sharing this video but the sound went low after awhile so I couldn't hear what you were saying. I'm David first time kayaking and seeing your video I like your idea

Question... do you have adjustability for the depth of your anchor? I dont see it.

Really like that quick release thingy. Can it accidently be opened or is it rather secure? Any other commenters use it?

I have the same kayak :)

Thanks it’s greath

I have the same exact kayak. I love mine too. Is your anchor trolly the HD version? I want to do the exact set up as yours. That said, where can I get everything. How heavy is your anchor? I found the trolly on line. Where do you keep the anchor rope? Thanks

So how do you get it back. I have a float tied to my line and enough line so that the float is on the anchor side of the anchor trolley. I tie a slip knot on my seat so all I have to do is pull t and I am free. After whatever the reason was that I needed to release my self from the anchor is past I can go back and find the float and retrieve my anchor.

Having an anchor quick-release system is the way to go. Down under here in Australia 🇦🇺 we call that quick release shackle you have, a yachting “Ronstan Snap Shackle”. However, I see a major problem with your system! You haven’t incorporated a Zig Zag Cleat or something similar to take the weight of the Kayak when at anchor. What was demonstrated in the video was you running the anchor line/eye through the ring on the trolley system, and then attaching it to the quick-release shackle, which in turn was attached to the bottom of the seat in your Kayak. I’m not sure how secure the seat is in your Kayak, but I doubt it was designed to be used as the “bitter end” of an anchoring system. In the right/wrong conditions I could envisage you standing up in your Kayak, and your seat deciding it no longer wants to be onboard your Kayak, flying across the deck, knocking you overboard as it tries to squeeze through the ring in your anchor trolley 😀

Good idea

Great tip thanks

Great video bud. How long is the tether on your anchor?

Great video, was wondering where you got that pretty red anchor and float?

Stainless steel Swivel Shackle on Amazon. Thanks! I will be getting one soon.

Is that a 35mm or a 52mm quick release clip?

Great video, where do I get a lever lock?

nice

Ok, I just can't unsee it. Do you have really deep pockets in your jeans? I see a bulge on your right thigh and it's throwing me off. Sorry if it's a personal/medical thing, just bugging me. Great video though.

What type of water conditions would someone be fishing in where they would need a quick disconnect?

What is the name of that quick release attached to your seat?

can't hear it even at full volume on my laptop

Just tie a slip knot somewhere and be done with it, kiss.
