  • Does the job
Color: Seagrass
This anchor is perfect for a kayak, but it also works great with my paddleboard and large floats as well! When you want to just float and relax and not end up stuck in some low hanging trees on the shoreline, just drop anchor. I love that it comes with a carrying pouch so I don't have to worry about it damaging my board and that it comes ready to use. The yellow color helps with knowing where the rope is located in the water. I definitely recommend this anchor to anyone who likes to be out on the water! ... show more

  • A quality anchor, if a bit too small and lightweight
Color: Seagrass
This is a nice quality anchor, but do read the description--it's only 3.5 pounds, and isn't meant to be used in anything beyond calm waters. In a current or with wavy conditions, this anchor really won't help much. It is a good size for use with a kayak, but you won't find much use for it aside from fishing or taking breaks from paddling. For a larger craft you might use an anchor to keep you onshore, but a kayak is easily dragged on land... so an anchor is completely useless for this purpose. Very limited use case here, unlike a larger pwc anchor. Usefulness aside, this is a very nice quality anchor. The metal is cast well, without any sharp bits or serious imperfections. The paint is nice and thick with no bare spots--which will prevent rusting when used in salty waters. The rope isn't thick, but is good enough for the weight, and the floaty does float. It's a very colorful setup, which should help in preventing it from getting lost. It's also incredibly compact when bagged, and while that is nice... it might be better to go with a bigger/heavier anchor so it can be used in more varied conditions. ... show more

  • Good lightweight anchor for kayak. Best for calm lakes!
Color: Clownfish
This is good, lightweight anchor for kayaking. It is probably best for keeping you from drifting in calm lake waters, as it weighs in at only 3.5 lbs. This set is decently made although it really isn’t premium. The rope is better than some I have seen with similar sets but it isn’t super thick. The float works fine. It is a compact system, and fits into a small bag, making it very convenient. I am tucking this into my kayaking gear so I can have the option of hanging out in my kayak without drifting all over my local lake while trying to birdwatch or otherwise take a break. ... show more

  • Nice Anchor Kit
Color: Navy
This is a good, small anchor kit. It is nice and compact and fits into a bag that is provided. The anchor is ideal for small boats. I got it for my little kayak and it's probably overkill. It is easy to work and use and I want to have it with me so I don't drift in the wind when I don't want to. This is a good unit, in my opinion. ... show more

  • Sturdy little anchor
Color: Seagrass
This appears to be a sturdy anchor. It is painted metal, and quite heavy (for a small anchor). The paint is a little uneven in places (scratched), but this should not be a big issue. The rope looks sturdy, and there is a buoy attached. There is also a nice, sturdy carabiner to attach it to the boat. Our kayaks, while not inflatable, are light, so it should work perfectly! There is still spotty ice on the lakes, so no water sports for a bit, but hubby will put it to use this summer. It will be a nice way to hold in one place for pictures or to hold the kayak while retrieving items from the shore/car. ... show more

  • Comparable to all the others
Color: Navy
This is very similar to all the other small watercraft anchor offerings on Amazon. The anchor is the exact same as another one that I had previously purchased. Well painted and opens and locks close with ease. The carabiner latch is also the exact same. I prefer the rope on this product compared to my other anchor which is more of a rough/scratchy type of rope. This one is soft and less abrasive if it was to rub against anything. I went for the for the navy anchor/yellow rope just so it's easier to see the rope in the water. The buoy is a hard, hollow plastic whereas my other anchor is a more of a solid foam type of material. I don't really have a preference between the two buoys. The bag has a little bit of padding. There is no mention in the user manual about how to attach the rope with a zip tie. This could potentially save you from losing the anchor if it gets caught on something. Check out some other product listings to see what I mean. There are some other anchors out there have have a D-ring attached to the bottom of the anchor which is a nice touch but they cost a little bit more and are not truly necessary, more of a convenience. This will get the job done. This item was shipped in the manufacturer's packaging (no shipping box) so if you are looking to give this as a gift I would recommend buying from a different supplier that doesn't just slap a shipping label on the manufacturer's box and send it out the door. ... show more

  • Perfect little anchor for my small kayak
Color: Clownfish
I love that this anchor is small and easy to pack in my little kayak, yet is heavy enough to do the job of keeping me put. As advertised, it's for small, lightweight, crafts, but if it can handle my plastic kayak, it should work great for a raft or pale board as well.

  • Great design.
Color: Seagrass
This is a great little anchor. I've never seen one this compact, collapsible, and well-designed. I'm no anchor expert, but I've never seen one like this. I've seen plenty of your basic inland lake anchors, probably around 10 lbs, but this little thing is going to be spectacular for kayaking, or even small fishing boat situations. I'm very much looking forward to using it. It comes with a nice storage bag with a cinch top and the bag itself is actually padded so if you dropped it or it bounces around while traveling, nothing will get damaged. The rope is good and sturdy, as well as the snap hook and buoy. Definitely a well thought-out little package, and 3 1/2 lbs will be perfect for small craft situations. Definitely give it 5 stars. I hope this has been helpful. ... show more
