Installation uses your existing bow handle: remove it, set the QuickStop over the holes, reinstall the handle and secure everything with the longer screws provided. A rolling pulley helps the anchor line run smoothly when you drop and pull it. It works with the anchor of your choice, with a mushroom or ball anchor recommended.

Specs at a glance

  • Fits: Kayaks with a vertical bow handle
  • Includes: Rolling pulley and longer mounting screws
  • Recommended anchor: Mushroom or ball style
  • Anchor: Not included

Good to know

  • Check your bow handle orientation first, since this version is for vertical handles and a horizontal version is sold separately.
  • Budget for an anchor and line, since neither is included.

KayakDIY take: Anchoring from the bow keeps the kayak pointed into wind or current, which makes fishing a spot much easier. For more options, see my kayak anchor system guide.
