Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Kayak anchor recommendations

I just checked - a 10lb plate at Walmart is $8, a folding anchor is $13, and a mushroom anchor is $19. If you know a place to get folding anchors for $5, definitely let us know.

Obviously it depends on the situation and how it is actually stuck.  Most of the time, there is plenty of leverage to break the zip tie, but there may be a time when nothing will retrieve this, or any other anchor.  However, it works every time I have had to use it.  

The cost of a folding anchor is comparable to a similarly sized dumbbell or weight plate (between $5-$25), so there is really no need to go with anything other than the anchor, unless you are using the rock method.   It all comes down to what you are comfortable with.  Everyone has an opinion and now you have a little more info and my two cents on the topic.

Hope it helped,
