Excellent video. I'm new to kayaking so this was very informative and useful. Thanks you!
Excellent demonstration of a quick release system. I’m going to use the same approach when I install my anchor trolley.
Really genius. Thanks.
What dept do you usually anchor up ?
Gidday ,just watched your video on quick release anchor system. I live in Australia and just starting Kayaking ,thanks for your advice,a lot of people out here use a retractable clothesline,but this is far better.
Just a note about the carabiner used on the anchor trolley, using just a single biner doesn’t give you any redundancy so if you accidentally Unclipped the anchor trolley line while clipping something into it you could drop it and essentially lose the use of your anchor trolley. (It would be really hard to grab the clip once it’s sunk and is hanging at the back of the yak) A solution would be 2 carabiners or a carabiner and a permanent connection. I’m a climber so we always make sure there’s 2 or more attachments for anything we need to Unclip. ✌🏻
Great vid, a complex procedure well demonstrated. Wouldn’t it be safer when hauling (weighing) your anchor, to snatch the anchor line that is on your anchor reel into the carabiner first, before removing the floating line (attached to the buoy) from the carabiner. It’s a little difficult to determine in the benign garage set up you have used to demonstrate the procedure, but to me it looks like when you remove the floating line first, that you are effectively not at anchor anymore.
I've got a Coopers anchor on mine, lightweight and reinforced nylon so they don't damage your kayak and they dig in hard
Yet another great video mt
Awesome
When tying the buoy to the rope, why not use the hole in the divers reel handle? Why do you have a clip there instead? Thanks
Great video. Thank you. 👍👍
I dunno man, this is way too complicated. Too many ropes too many things to carry etc.
Thank you so much, you've helped me a great deal.
Great video Thank you.
Can this be done with the anchor wizard kit???
I’m new to fishing kayaks. This was very helpful. Thank you.
Very nicely designed, thanks Mate
Brilliant that. Great video. 👍
Incredibly helpful thank you for taking the time!
weakest link is the recommendation of a cheap carabiner attached to anchor. if it breaks you lose your anchor. spend a little extra for a reliable carabiner. This was an amazing explanation of how the systems work together. thank you very much. i subscribed as i have watched a few of your videos.
with all that weight from the anchor and chain and at least what 40 foot of rope. what kind of water are you fishing in a kayak ? because if the water is that ruff i am not going fishing that day.
You are very easy to follow along with and that is great. I just setup the same anchoring system and I was wondering how much rope would you recommend I have between my kayak and the buoy? It be ok if I have less than 4m? Appreciate your time bud
Awesome best demo yet
great vid. very well explained. helped me feel comfortable with setting up and using my anchor. thanks
You know your stuff, enjoyable and educational videos man, just subbed ya
Brilliant – makes me feel so much more confident that I will be able to implement a system to suit me. Thanks for going to the effort.
Well done. I use a slightly different setup which would alleviate needing to switch lines during retrieval. I have a dedicated section of parachute cord that is connected to a quick release at my seat using a small carabiner. From the carabiner, the cord runs through the anchor trolly ring at the far rearward position and back to the quick release location, this is attached with another carabiner. I connect that second carabiner to either a stake out pin anchor or regular anchor system as in the video. In the example system in the video, which is what I use, during retrieval I simply grab the buoy, pull in the reel and line with anchor. Once on board, I disconnect the parachute cord and connect to its original position and reset the anchor system for storage.
Love your videos – very helpful. However, do you think that 2mm anchor line is strong enough for our waters, especially if you're trying to retrieve a jammed anchor?
Great video. Cannot find that styled buoy in the United States…
Nicely Done, great information, and a very clean system design.
Awh mate, this video is so good. So well explained, comprehensive and incredibly helpful! I own a feel free 13.5, that is yet to be christened, now I know exactly what to do regarding the anchor and trolley system. Thanks brother!! Tight lines! 😉 🙌👏👏🙌
Superb instructional video thanks! I'm a bit late to sea kayaking (I'm about to get one for my 60th Birthday!) – so videos like yours are a huge help 🙂
I have a new invention the "SandWedJ" this being beneficial in sand & mud when used on grapnel type anchors, grapnel anchors generally used as the main anchor for many weekend fishermen and as a secondary anchor for most other applications. https://sanadwedj.com.au . Have a 1/3 size on the way for Katak's … houghts?
