AIRHEAD Grapnel Anchor System

Great tool

Well padded case. Grapnel hooks collapse against main stem. Looks good. I am sure it will fit the bill.

I have used this several times, and I highly suggest this anchor. With COVID, it took the an extra week to get this anchor, but it was well worth the wait. It is sturdy, and can handle anchoring two paddle boards and a kayak in place in mild wind (below 15 miles an hour). I did read several of the previous reviews, and I would suggest the following modifictions.First modification would be to change out the type of rope. This does not need to be done right away, but I have already seen the rope begin to fray after several uses. The rope is made of a polyester blend, and if caught on anything, can begin to rip.The second modification would be to make the main tie of the rope to the botton of the anchor, then zip tie the top of the anchor to the rope. This will allow you to retrieve the anchor in case it is stuck. I personally have not had to an incident, where this was an issue, but the mechanics of the system does make sense.

I ordered this anchor system and it arrived quickly. I should note we are amazon prime members. The product arrived intact and was easily opened. We bought the product for anchoring a jet ski in a local lake. The product itself works well, but it could use a little more length in the rope. I fully admit I knew the length when I purchased the item, but it could still use more length. Once we added some length the anchor had enough scope to actually grab and hold the jet ski in place. Otherwise, no issues. Worked well each time we used it. I would recommend it as is if you are operating in shallow water, that being 10-15 ft or less. If any deeper you will need extra anchor line to accommodate your needs.

These anchors are easy to use and work great

This is a compact beach anchor perfect for a dingy. With the bag it makes a very neat package. Very reasonabley priced.

Love it! Kept me in one spot with a slight breeze. Did not drag. Had multiple boards tied together and we stayed put.

I received this folding anchor yesterday after previously ordering (and loving) two of the same model within the last 2 months. I needed a total of 3 and I was so happy with this that I ordered my third just this week. As mentioned, I received it last night and although it was packed exactly the same as the other two and included all of the same hardware, storage bag etc, as I removed it from the packaging, I noticed immediately that this one seemed different. Upon inspection, the flukes were floppier than my other two and the retaining ring that locks the flukes open or closed was so loose that it does not stay in place, ultimately letting the flukes do their own thing. Our family has 3 kayaks and sometimes my 10 year old will be using one. I don't want that anchor to be questionable for anyone but especially for my young daughter if she happens to get that one. I am concerned at the dependability of this anchor if the flukes need to stay in the extended position on a windy day, etc.Although I would give 5 starts for the first 2 that I bought, I gave this purchase only 3 stars for two reasons; First, I love this style and have really loved the two that I have already used, I just think this one is a bit of a lemon, and the second reason is that I have not actually taken it out and used it yet. Hoping it will somehow stay in position when needed but we will have to see.
