Losing Anchors - Page 2

I know those that drill and hook the chain like that, but I didn't like how my anchor set when it was like that. I bought a lenght of strandend 3/16 stainless, hooked one end to the chain and one to the "trip. Used swedges and then tied with zip ties. It works great for me.

i make something like that but instead of welding (cause i ain't got no welder) i use a piece of PVC, bend the rebar slide through the PVC tubing and fill with concrete. It works great especially on the wrecks when the current is really pulling hard just hover over the spot and drop anchor. I have one thats heavy enough to drop into 100ft of water in about 4 seconds no matter what kind of current.

what we do out at 3 mile is step out on the pileings and whatever side you want to stay on drop the anchor right down beside the pileing on the opposite side your not suppost to be up their so do it quick

You could always try using a cinder block if your just gonna fish in the bay. $2.00.

On <span style="text-decoration: underline;">anchors, it always helps to attach the end of your chain to the tripping ring in this picture or if doesnt have one drill a hole in the crown and attach there. Here are the bestjamaica Hotels. Then run your chain up the shank and put a few zip ties on it so the flukes can move and put a couple more zip ties at the top eye. This way when you try to pull the anchor, it breaks the zip ties and pulls it backwards.

This is the anchor we've been using for years. Works well.
