How To Use Anchor Ball/Buoy Easy

When I was first in the market for a Anchor Ball/Buoy I checked online and did not see many videos on RUclips of them being used out at sea or in deeper waters. So I made a video myself using mines in about 60 Ft out on Miami's Reef to show how easy it is to use and a must have when fishing deeper waters.

Finally someone using this on an anchor that doesn't weigh 5lbs

If it were only a 5 pound anchor then you should not need a Anchor ball lol

@MiamiLiving305 I meant that's for sharing. Sorry for any misprint, dam autocorrect/text!

Those speeds with your anchor deployed are incredibly dangerous. When retrieving an anchor using and anchor ball you should go much more slowly than is shown in this video

I have done it like this countless times and I’m moving in a circular motion to the anchor

[@davidcarvolth7685]

Drive back to the anchor, its easier than pulling it in by hand

[@MiamiLiving305]

I usually do when I’m with someone else but since I could not trust the person holding the camera to take me to the anchor without running over the line I just pulled in it myself!

Thank you.

Thanks for watching

Too fast, if that snagged, will cause damage to yout boat :(

[@MiamiLiving305]

If you don’t go that fast it just slides back down tho and the buoy won’t make it to the anchor

[@johnbspringer]

... but it does nothing for the weight of the chain - which is where most of the weight is.

[@MiamiLiving305]

It’s easier to bring the floating anchor and chain in then pulling it straight up off the sea floor with all of its weight on your hands
