Attwood Boat Mushroom Anchor, Secure Holding Power for Mud & Weed Bottoms

It's an anchor. It's heavy. The hole is big enough to tie to an anchor line. I use it to keep my boat oriented out at high tide so it is easier to launch. This kind of anchor isn't for totally anchoring a 14' boat as it could simply be dragged with the motor (I know, I've done it!) but it works for my purpose. Would be great for holding on a soft or sandy bottom while fishing, too. We used it for a couple of months with no issues. Those little holes could be bigger- it tends to fill with sand and then be harder to dump clean than if the sand fell through.

Yes, I know that it's only an anchor. But for my 14-foot jon boat on the freshwater creeks and rivers of Virginia Beach and North Carolina it is the PERFECT size! This anchor easily holds my boat in place in winds gusting up to 20 mph. (If it's windier than that, I don't go fishing.) At the same time, it is NOT cumbersome, as was the 15-pound anchor it replaced. Bottom line? Select your anchor based on the size of your boat and the conditions under which you will use it!

this will work well for kayaks or our large lily pad in the lake

We have an Outdoor Xmas lighted wall plaque on our porch which gets hit with a lot of wind. We need something to tie it off to. Although the hole stood out farther than the wall, my husband attached a bolt so that we could drop a line to the anchor. A little bit overkill but we hope it does the job. Crossed fingers.

Exactly what I ordered and received. Looks great and weight is exactly 10lbs. Cant wait to throw it in the river/lake.

I feel silly admitting this, but the main reason I bought it was for eight girls to tie up our pool floats and paddleboards out in a lake on girls' weekend. While we may not have managed to get out far in the lake, I attached one end of the rope to the dock, one end to the anchor, and I paddled out as far as the rope would go and dropped anchor. We ended up using it as tow line for those on floats to get away from the mucky shoreline, and it really did work perfectly. I would have never thought a little ten pound anchor would stay in place and not drag while we pulled ourselves along it, but sure enough, it worked perfectly and exactly as we intended. It was also much easier than I expected to pull up while sitting on my SUP. I'll continue using this while out on the lakes on my SUP when I want to just float and take a beer break :)

These boat anchors are perfect for moving a lily pad away from the dock and boat! They’re easy to use and hold everything in place, keeping the lily pad exactly where you want it. A simple and effective solution for keeping things organized and safe for the kids on the water. Definitely a handy tool for boaters!

Used this to anchor my paddle board to a fixed location while I taught myself (well tried to...) wing sail. A 250' length of rope let me sail around in a decent size area. This anchor held fast and kept me from becoming fish food. Good deal for a decent quality item. I do believe this will eventually rust if left untreated.

Exactly what I wanted. Heavy and small.

De tamaño y peso muy aceptables esta es un ancla que sin duda te ayudara a mantenerte en cualquier lugar donde quieras detener tu Kayak u embarcación pequeña. si bien para un kayak la considero en el limite de tamaño. pero para una pequeña lancha es perfecta. contempla que por si forma apesar de tener orificios estarás subiendo algo de agua cada ves que la subas a la lancha llevar una pequeña cubeta o algo para almacenarla te ayudara con esto.

Perfect weight I have one on each side now helps for trout/fly fishing This anchor both sides stops me from drifting and turning when fishing with a indicator

Attention ne pas s’en servir dans une piscine au chlore : le produit rouille et tache le liner

Had some rough edges in the eye. A little file work and paint = perfection Great value
