5 years on and you’re still helping the younger generation keep safe! Installed an identical set up on my kayak today.

Thanks for the video. You’ve developed some innovative ideas over the years that I will adopt. No point in reinventing the wheel!!

That's the best trolley explanation I've seen yet. I'll be a hobie angle noob here in a few months so thanks for the great info.

best explanation of a anchor trolley and and anchor. ( Melbourne Australia)

Ingenious! I think this is how I’m going to set my anchor system up for my kayak. 🤗 Thanks!

Great video. Think this is one of the best ones yet that really explains how it works. Thanks!

I agree. As a newbie this is the best explanation I have seen. Thanks!

Nice idea to store the anchor and rope buddy. I like it!

Best idea for quick disconnect I’ve seen! Idk how many YT videos I watch where people don’t have those and it really makes me question their IQ. Maybe they don’t fish in current or waves but I wouldn’t want to get in a bind and have to grab a knife to cut myself loose cuz now you’re in a sketchy situation and holding a blade!

Great explanation and recommendations. Thank you for this video

Everything about this clip is helpful and informative, thank you!

Great video and great cheap storage thank you very much 👍

Safety first. Great idea. Thanks buddy.

Great idea. Thanks for sharing.

Well I enjoyed that video! Thank you!

I posted a video just like this one about a year ago trying to explain this exact same thing about "quick release" anchor. I did this because there weren't any real quick release videos that truly allowed the anchor to release quickly. the way I've done it is very similar to your method. But however the method the main thing is safety and being able to get that anchor away is a safe deal. i wish more folks would see how effective this method is

I use a strong floating bungeecord as anchorline it gives a very smoth and comforty time on the water, as a quick release i have Cam Cleat, works very good. And on the anchottrolley i have a carabiner i just snap in the anchorline then i dont have to pull it true the ring.

Thanks. Interesting how you made a handle for your anchor storage unit. Going to buy a 5’ piece of 3” PVC and make two storage units like yours. My wife watched your anchor video and wants one too. Guess we’ll have anchors before we have kayaks. Keep um coming!

Great ideas, thanks

Great video, thank you.

Nice rig but I would reconsider the rope attachment location on the anchor, recovery is important so tie the rope to the bottom hole on that anchor and the run rope up side of anchor and zip tie to the top of anchor. That way when stuck you can pull anchor in opposite direction breaking zip tie and pull from bottom of,anchor disslodging the grapples from underneath whatever is holding down.

What an awesome idea great video, I want to put one on my kayak but I don't want to drill holes in my kayak.

Nice brooo...

I have the same setup except I tie up on the cleat 😃👌

Do you ever want to anchor in the middle of your kayak? Also what is a situation you would need to quick disconnect? I'm trying to learn as much as I can before I purchase my first Kayak. ( I mostly plan on fishing in calm lakes until i really understand everything then move into my states rivers)

Nice video, thanks for taking the time to publish this. I just bought the Yakattack HD Lever-Loc trolley. I have the same PA14 as you. I have only one outing in my yak at this time and I’m trying to figure out if the Port (left) side would be the best to install the trolley. What are all the factors considered when choosing a side? I do cast right handed but the one time I went out I usually casted from the right side and then out off the Port (left) side of the yak (so I was retrieving from the left side). For me to cast out to the STBD (right side) I have to cast more over my head (rarely do this). I’m considering installing on the right side (STBD). Also, what system do you use to lock your trolley to the bow or stern? Finally, could I just use a zig-sag or regular cleat with my anchor line? Seems to me a system like yours, you are limited to a fixed length of anchor rope. I do only fish 10-25’ depths in mostly still water.

Steve - one more question - any idea what size the quick release is? I'm looking at them on Amazon but have no idea which one to get. Size 2 comes in a 2 pack for about $18 but I'm not sure if it's the right size for the setup. Thanks again for a great video. Can't tell you how many times I've watched it.

I'm new to kayak fishing and have been looking for videos to help me. This one is outstanding! Thank you. What weight of anchor shud I be using for my single person fishing kayak?

Thanks

Steve - do you use a 3 or 4 inch pvc for your anchor storage? Thanks?

What about if you want to adjust the length of your rope? I’ve heard of using a retractable dog leash. Trying to get some ideas.

Steve - what weight anchor are you using and how much anchor line will your PVC storage hold? Thanks

I just received my new slate blue vibe seaghost 110 and I was looking for the best way to anchor .

Where did you buy that clip or snap that you have for your quick release system?

Is there another name for the stainless steel quick connect? I can not make a visual on the tutorial.

What if your in shallow water and you don't need to use all of your line? Can you still make the quick release work somehow?

How does the bouey keep from sinking of it's at a fixed point on the rope?

thanks dad

is that a 3 or 5 lb anchor? I am currently using a 5 for my kayak with no trolley system and am doing some research to get a trolley set up

Hi good vid and idea how long is the pvc to keep anchor rope and float in ? Tia

What kind of quick disconnect is that and where would I buy one? Thanks

quick release is a good idea, but I wish you would have given us a close-up shot of the quick release.

Great vid! How long is your anchor rope?

How do you adjust anchor depth?

that quick release seems to hang up on the rope every time

👍🏽

What kind of anchor is it

All well and good but...you have the anchor tied incorrectly. You tie a claw anchor from the bottom and zip tie the main line to the top loop (NOTE: Only the zip tie goes through the top loop holding the anchor line) so if the anchor gets hung up you can pop the zip tie and the anchor pulls up from the bottom unsnagged.

was that a fart at 3:55? =P

I connect my rope to the bottom eye of the anchor and use a very small cable tie, through the top eye and around the anchor chain. If I get snagged, a sharp tug, the cable tie breaks and the anchor is pulled up backwards from the bottom eye.
