Customers have mixed opinions about the weight of the tow sports line. Some find it not too heavy or too light, and easy to manage in or out of the boat. They also say it provides the right balance of just enough weight, but not too much. However, others say that it's not heavy enough to hold it in place, even on a calm day.

Customers are dissatisfied with the holding power of the tow sports line. They mention that it does not hold well in sand, muck, or saline bottoms. The float does not stay afloat and the anchor does not bite or hold particularly well.

"...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...." Read more

"...The float just gets in the way where space is a premium. If you lose your anchor once, you'll get another and be more careful next time." Read more

"...The current was a little strong but I truly was impressed how well it stayed in place...." Read more

"...However, even with that, they still won't hold on a windy day or a day with a lot of boat traffic on the lake." Read more

Great product; packaging arrived damaged
I purchased this anchor as a gift a few years ago and the recipient said it worked great, so I ordered another one for someone else. The product itself seems to be in good condition, much like my previous purchase, but the packaging came pretty broken up in the mail. It wasn’t wrapped and shipped in a rather large box, so I assume it was damaged during shipment. Normally I wouldn’t mind, it’s just a bit unsightly for a Christmas gift. But like I said, the product itself works great, there just seems to be a packaging issue.

We were beaching our waverunners and getting a lot of scratches on the gel coat. I bought this little anchor which takes up very little room and comes with a carry bag. I was skeptical but it grabs on quick and holds two Yamaha VX HO waverunners in place. I am very impressed with this little anchor.

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2020
Color: Multi-ColoredSize: 3.5 LBS, 25' ROPE, A-2Verified Purchase
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.

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2021
Color: Multi-ColoredSize: 3.5 LBS, 25' ROPE, A-2Verified Purchase
This 3.5lb anchor comes with everything a kayaker or small boat operator needs and is easy to access and use! I use this anchor on an 11-foot kayak without an anchor trolly and it works perfectly. The quick release latch and float is a must for safety... if you are kayaking and a speedboat cruises by and causes a wake, you simply unhook the latch, toss your rope in the water, and row your kayak back to the float to retrieve your anchor after the water has calmed. Additionally, the 3.5lb anchor is easy to retrieve and you won't rock your small boat trying to pull the anchor back in. Highly recommended for small boat or kayak users.
