Quick and Easy KAYAK ANCHOR Snag Breakout System!

LOSE LESS ANCHORS! In this video i run through how to tie your anchor line to your anchor in a way that gives you a high chance of getting the anchor back from a snag. The set up is quick and easy and will SAVE YOU ANCHORS! I show two methods to do this - one very simple method and one that allows you to unclip the anchor set up from the anchor line.
This set up does not require chain and suits calm conditions and snaggy ground. For anchoring on clean ground in more demanding conditions, use a short length of chain to increase anchor holding power and reduce anchor slip - more info can be found in this video: • Using Anchor Chain for...

Thanks for the great information

[@michaell1665]

Good info! Not only does it give you a chance of retrieval when the anchor gets lodged underwater, it gives a high probability chance! I use a nearly identical anchor in my kayak and have freed it by breaking the tie at least a dozen times! Once I used a slightly stronger cable tie - big mistake - I had to pull very hard to break the tie but eventually succeeded. Now I use the small, thin black ties and it works flawlessly. One note, however, as I see it! I DO NOT add a chain to my anchor as you do. It does occasionally make it harder to get a bite and hold, but I prefer to keep the weight down in my kayak. Great illustration of the tie break in action!

👍

[@Karkawry1970]

Nice one, always good to reduce weight on a trip, would you say anchoring in Estuaries you could dispense with the chain? TIA

[@CornishKayakAngler]

I have anchored in shallow estuaries (less than 12ft deep) with this set up and it works fine if you let a bit of anchor line out so the anchor digs in at a shallow angle. I do favour a Bruce anchor for shallow muddy tidal waters though

[@Macky007]

Did you keep the line that came with the scuba reel?

[@CornishKayakAngler]

Yeah the line that comes with the reel works great and is plenty strong enough for anchoring a kayak 👍🏻

[@Eelgnotsa]

I bought one of those diver reels but it seems to me that the cord is very thin and not suitable for an anchor how wrong or right am I

[@CornishKayakAngler]

You’ll be surprised how strong it is! If you got snagged on 50lb braid you’ll find that it’ll hold you just fine, so the cord on a dive reel will hold no trouble!

[@stevenjensen2649]

How pounds is this anchor? 3lbs??

[@Gtanti2012]

Where did you buy your anchor line/reel?

[@CornishKayakAngler]

If you are based in the UK then you can get everything you need from Cornwall Canoes:
www.cornwall-canoes.co.uk/kayak-fishing/kayak-fishing-accessories.htm
If you are based in another country then try a dive shop and you should be able to find similar.

[@Gtanti2012]

@@CornishKayakAngler awesome thank you. I found it.

[@Flintynicknacks]

The only issue with using cable ties is plastic waste if you need to use it. Sadly the sea is awash with discarded fishing gear. A trip link is less than £10 and won’t add to the problem.

[@ColtSievers1000]

Easier said than done on choppy water and the kayak drifting fast .

[@CornishKayakAngler]

Very true. Practice and experience comes into play when anchoring in more challenging conditions. Confidence and organisation is key. Not something to be rushed into!
