Made one of these quick deploy tethers and used it last week with my 10 foot pin. I absolutely love it as it worked perfectly for deploying my stick pin quickly and safely. My Robalo R160 was anchored in 4 feet of water with no problems while I fished for a few hours. Just finished making another for the stern. Thank you!
I made mine out of a 3/4 pipe tee fixed to my boat with a door flange. Its always there and i just push my pole through it and into the bottom. Plus with one up front and one in the rear it really helps stabilize the boat.
@@TheWeekendAngler honestly ive only had mine installed for a short period of time. Actually made the poles out of some PVC for a handle and a thick fiberglass tomato stake from the garden section for about $9 each. Theyve made a huge difference in setting up for duck hunting and im really looking forward to using them for fishing as well
I noticed that you had the nut for the rod holders on the top I found that they are way stronger under the boat deck and have a flat peace on top to tighten the nut down to
Those rod holders use the monster rod holders rail mount. They thread into the rail mount bracket. The nut is only used to keep the rod holder from turning.
After seeing this and how the mechanism dosnt have to be complicated like everyone makes it I guess I’ll make a pole anker or two and just shove it through the two caring handles I have on the back of the Jon boat problem solved thanks
They've held up in some pretty stiff winds before. I would think they could handle a little current also. But, remember, the shallow water anchors are only good to about 8 feet or so depending on their length.
It depends. Sometimes I will toss a conventional claw anchor off the front of the boat and then use one (two if necessary) pin anchors off the rear corner of the boat. Other times I will put one pin off the front and one off the back. If you're not in a lot of wind or current, one pin will hold your boat. I prefer the stability that comes from having multiple anchor points, however.

Awesome! I'm glad it worked out well for you.
This is great! I just got a 14’ skiff and was looking for ideas. Thank you for this.
Thank you. I'm glad it helped!
That is simple and strong I bet.
I am probably going to do a kayak anchor trolly though.
Thank you for the idea!
Oh definitely do an anchor trolley if using a kayak. Hope this idea helps you out.
Thanks for the tip! I am making these tomorrow
I will be making this this week ;) FINALLY picked up the anchor from your ebay guy last night!
I finally got to watch this! Good tip! On ,y list in the spring. It will make my life so much easier! Happy Fishing!
They work!! If the wind is blowing put them on the side to were the boat will rest on the anchors if they will hold your boat
They held last Saturday in Rend when the wind was blowing 16 and gusting to 25. I was impressed.
Awsome i need to make some
Making these soon Josh!
Awesome video I'll try and make one for my kayak.

Great idea as well. I'm not sure how I ever got along without those poles.

Great idea thank you
Great idea. Thanks for sharing. God bless.

good vid. did the same thing but wrapped the entire ring in 550.
That's a good idea too!
Thanks for sharing, looking good
Great idea like that thanks for sharing
Great idea
Good job Josh!!!
Thanks, Lyle.

That should work perfectly. I agree with you. A lot of folks make this way more difficult than it needs to be.
How well would they work on a river ?
They've held up in some pretty stiff winds before. I would think they could handle a little current also. But, remember, the shallow water anchors are only good to about 8 feet or so depending on their length.
Do you do both sides of the boat on this quick Deploy Tether???
It depends. Sometimes I will toss a conventional claw anchor off the front of the boat and then use one (two if necessary) pin anchors off the rear corner of the boat. Other times I will put one pin off the front and one off the back.

Did you know there's a skeleton in the boat?
Yeah, he was just hanging out.
