The galvanized steel anchor folds down for storage and opens to grab the bottom when you want to hold a spot while fishing. The kit includes 30 ft of anchor rope with a buoy, a stainless steel shackle and carabiner, and a carry bag. Newport recommends a fresh water rinse after each use.

Specs at a glance

  • Anchor weight: 3.5 lb
  • Material: Galvanized steel
  • Rope: 30 ft with buoy
  • Hardware: Stainless steel shackle and carabiner
  • Included: Carrying and storage bag

Good to know

  • 30 ft of rope covers shallow water, so add more line if you fish deeper spots.
  • Check the bottom before dropping anchor, especially in the ocean, and rinse it with fresh water afterward.

KayakDIY take: A folding grapnel is the simplest way to start anchoring. For trolleys and other setups, see my kayak anchor system guide.
