AIRHEAD Grapnel Anchor System

I purchased this for my job boat. It's a bit small but it does actually work. Easy to use and retrieve.

If you have a jet ski or a small boat this is the perfect anchor. It's foldable so you store it in the bag when not in use and it doesn't take up a lot of space. For light watercraft anchoring in soft shoals it works perfectly. I use it with my jet ski on the Chesapeake Bay and it's a godsend when I want to anchor to take a dip or moor the watercraft while I take a short land excursion. It packs up so small that it fits perfectly in the small storage box on my jet ski. I highly recommend this item.

We bought our 6 year old twins a turtle trampoline for the small lake we live on but having it tethered and bouncing into to our dock was a bit restricting. Saw this on Amazon and as there's no current here, tried it. It does feel a just a little cheap coming out of its bag but with fairly careful good sense handling I fastened it to the trampoline and went out with our paddle boat about 30' and cast the anchor (about a month ago). It has about 20' of nice quality nylon rope to attach. For the price I feel that it's definitely a bargain. It's weathered a couple of good storms and the trampling it still where I anchored it. I wouldn't take it anywhere with a significant current, but if you plan on using it on fairly quiet waters then I would highly recommend. It also has a solid coat of paint to protect the questionable quality steel anchor and that it's one of my daughter's favorite color pink, doesn't hurt! Jody Koval

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.

I bought this AIRHEAD Grapnel Anchor System for my Sea-Doo RXP-X 300 and it works great. The anchor grabs quickly and holds well, even in light current or choppier water. It’s compact, easy to store, and simple to use when I want to stop and swim or hang out for a bit. Definitely a reliable little anchor system for a PWC.

OK, the greatest feature of this anchor. The bag floats!!! I've accidentally knocked this bag out of my kayak almost two dozen times and it stays on top of the water amazingly well. That being said it's more suited for harder bottom surfaces. The lake I frequent is quite soft on the bottom so when I get a fish on in my Kayak I still have a bit of movement. Also in some of the higher current areas, It acts more like a way to slow the kayak way down with how soft the bottom is. I'm sure that if it had something more to bite into it would hold fast. Considering I like to move slowly while casting that is not a bad thing. Really easy to clean and folds up quite fast with one hand.

I love this anchor, I have used it multiple times in both freshwater and saltwater. I use it to Anchor my 13 ft Ocean Kayak Prowler. With so many uses, there is very little wear and tear or rust. It is easy to use and does not take up much room to store on the boat. The line it comes with is long enough for any of my needs. The four-way hold out anchor is easy to secure in the sand or mud. I recommend this to any one using small craft, kayaks, indoor stand-up paddling boards.

I honestly haven't tried it yet, but I'm already skeptical. My first red flag was that I received the package opened when it should be new. Anyhow, the biggest complaint is a storage pouch which doesn't fully fit the anchor, rope and buoy. For some odd reason, I naturally assumed this would be the case. But no, that image in the photo is to scale and is large enough to fit the rope. You would think a pouch large enough to cover the hooks would be a priority. Nope. So, I'll have to drop some money to get a new storage pouch. Then, that rope is not going to last long. I haven't even used it yet and due to the way it was wrapped there is fraying to the structure of the rope. My guess is that I'll be able to use it a few times and then will have to replace the rope = more money spent. The hardware itself looks like its worthwhile, but I'm kind of thinking now that I should have dropped a few extra bucks and bought something a little better - especially since I'm going to have to supplement the deficiencies of this product eventually.

Use this product for my seedoo. Works great. Bought two of them.

Excelente compra! Con solo esta ancla mantuve en su lugar dos kayaks para dos personas en mar abierto :)

Lo uso en mi kayak y es muy práctico.

Will hold up so long as your realistic about where you want to be. Great for looking gut to moderate use

Perfect for anchoring my paddle board.
