Sometimes I don’t want to actually paddle. I want to go sit on the water and read my book. Fortunately, this anchor keeps my paddleboard from floating away on wind and waves and tide in the bay.Nice solid anchor quality. Easy to use and clip onto my D rings. Comes in a carrying bag. A bit heavy— but of course, it is an anchor. Quite convenient to throw on a SUP! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Works perfectly *by M***. on Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2024* This anchor is nice and solid. The length of the rope is sufficiently long that you can toss this out of your kayak and anchor in place. The string is made of nylon and hasn't been a problem when using. The colors are bright so you will easily find the anchor line as well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Nice, compact anchor set up with some odd instructions *by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2024* This is a nice, compact grapnel anchor with a 26-foot (7.9-m) anchor line (or rode) with a diameter of 0.3 inches (7 mm) (photos). While I have not had the opportunity to use it with our inflatable kayak, I suspect it will work well. The “instructions” are more of a discussion on water safety in general; however, I did find the comment “Your anchor is intended for use in calm water at least 8' [2.4 m] deep” rather peculiar. Normally, in calm water, the scope (ratio of the anchor line length to water depth) should be about 5:1 which means you probably should not anchor in calm water deeper than about 5 feet (1.5 m); in rough water, the scope should be 10:1. In deeper or rougher water the anchor might drag. The stainless-steel hook is an easy way to attach the anchor line to a D-ring if your kayak has D-rings. Also, the anchor has an eye where the flukes join, i.e., at the end opposite the crown (or top) of the anchor. This is a convenient place to attach a stainless steel quick- or rapid-link (photo), a polypropylene (floating) lightweight trip or retrieval line, and a small float to support and mark the retrieval line. The trip line should be long enough to account for waves and tides. This trip line, provided it is strong enough, can be useful for retrieving the anchor should it become stuck and as a bonus, this second smaller float indicates to boaters the location of your anchor. Finally, this anchor comes in a tough, padded carry bag that neatly holds the anchor, line, and buoy.PROS• This is a nicely designed, compact grapnel anchor for small inflatable boats, paddleboards, etc.• The end of the anchor line is equipped with a buoy and a stainless-steel snap hook.• There is an eye where the flukes join that could be used to attach a trip or retrieval line.• The anchor, line (rode), and buoy all stow in a padded, heavy duty drawstring bag.CONS• The “instructions” primarily cover general water safety and not the anchor or anchoring.• The instructions suggest that the anchor should only be used in calm water greater than 8 feet (2.4 m) which is odd given that typically the scope should be 5:1 meaning, water depths less than 5 feet (1.5 m). --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/616485364-mainstay-3-5-lbs-folding-grapnel-anchor-kit-with-26ft](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/616485364-mainstay-3-5-lbs-folding-grapnel-anchor-kit-with-26ft) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
