Hi. I have a Yamaha FX HO. Another user said he recommends the black anchor over the blue one in areas where there may be more waves and current. We definitely see 2 feet of chop regularly and decent current on the regular. Do you think a black anchor, or stay with blue?

your never get the anchor to set with just a rope, unless your lucky. That is why the RODE of an anchor is chain. I use a nylon mesh bag with a 5ish LB rock in it and it holds. I can drag if and you just don't show good anchoring.

Are you using a solid braid on those anchors in the video?

The part at 1:06 is what i was looking for. Nobody teaches you this stuff when first boating. Thanks man!!!

Will filling my cooper anchor with lead weight help the anchors performance? Cant get my head around on how light it is.

6m boat with 2m of chain wtf , fail dude not for fishing in 30m with 2 knot tide , our 20ft boat weight 3 tonne

I use 1 length of chain same as boat length at the anchor, no ifs or buts!

Very happy with my Cooper anchor. I'm using the small red one with a Yamaha Waverunner. You might be thinking that it's too small - but it works really well, with 2M of 6mm chain and about 6M of rope. Holds very well. My Waverunner only weighs about 250kg, but I'm really impressed with the little red anchor. I have the blue one as well, but I find that it's easier to store the red anchor in my ski's storage compartment.

Thanks for sharing guys, great helpful video, Ra K UK 🇬🇧 YNWA.

Does it matter much what type of rope used if one uses the chain method, when tying the chain a boat length away from the anchor? The nylon ropes are expensive, so I was wondering if you felt maybe poly ropes would work as well with the chain. Thx

Thanks for sharing this. I'm buying my cooper anchor today.

Bowlines and anchoring should never be mentioned in the same breath. Never use bowlines with anchors.

If you make anchors you might want to learn how to pronounce catenary... If I'm being really getting anal if say you should be in the game of calling anchor rope 'rode', since its an instructional vid.

what size shackle fits the blue anchor for jet ski?

Will the Cooper 2.2 Lbs anchor anchor well a larger size 4.4 mtr boat/motor combo which weights max 500 Kg.. A 1.5 meter long 8 mm chain and a 30 meter 8 mm rope will be attached to it. Will be anchoring in sand at not more than 5 meter depths Thoughts ?

AGUANTE LA ISIK EN LA ARGENTINA

we anchor in feet...so....!???

what do we look,up to order one???

That was good mate Ive just gone down to a smaller boat 5 and a half mtr because I'm getting older weaker and all that crap so your anchors do look great for everyone Who needs heavy for the sake of it Ill be looking into your stuff Be safe all and the best of luck with your product, At last, something new and interesting to look into

I have a new invention the "SandWedJ" this being beneficial in sand & mud when used on grapnel type anchors, grapnel anchors generally used as the main anchor for many weekend fishermen and as a secondary anchor for most other applications. sanadwedj.com.au . I have a 1/3 size in production for use with Kayak grapnel's ... Thoughts?

Scope is completely dependant on conditions

How about a tutorial on pulling the anchor up with a jetski safely?

Hey guys I have a 2.5m tinnie which one do you recommend thank you

Is the kayak anchor still heavy enough to set in depths up to 50 ft for ocean fishing?

Great video, thanks for posting!

Awesome video man, I was wondering why I kept dragging my anchor..lol

why i m watching this.. i don't have a boat.... but great advice about the angle at the beginning

6m rope and chain lol watch for the rocks and the ramp more scoop more drifting.

Gr8 video I am off to buy one for my waverunner

From Newcastle, fish from my little kayak in Lake Macquarie and the Hunter River. Very helpful video, I have the red model. I will change the setup after watching this video, seems I don't have enough chain, also might try the short chain a couple of metres from the anchor method as I have had issues with the anchor dragging in current. Great product, you guys rock!

Which one should I get for my 18ft Hobiecat? It's 5.5m obviously, but at 180kg considerably lighter than same length monohulls.

Ive got the little red one with 3 metres of light gal chain and about 15 m of rope. Works awesome on my kayak in about 5 metres of swift flowing river. If i want to go deep i just add another 15 m of rope

I think here is a lot of common sense there. i'm not sure if you thought about the stretchy anchorplait. There is always a compromise, and a big difference twix anchoring a big windage vessel in a Force 10 and dropping a wee plastic anchor from a kayak, where the boater is in attendance and is just stopping for a break,

Save weight by using a plastic anchor. Then tie a ton of chain to it, LOL

How do we get coopers anchors in New Zealand? Cant seem to get sellers willing to send to NZ even on eBay.

alloo-mini-um?

Meters dont last in the USA We do feet and inchs,thanks for keeping the pond spread clear

Will the small one be fine for one of those 3m inflatable rafts/zodiacs?

Thank you Sir for these information.

Also doubles as a wicked war club for gators lol

what happens if I'm in a kayak and its rooky where I'm fishing or on a reef !!!!!!!!!!!! ????????????????

Where can I buy one

Czy jest mozliwe by takie cacka zawitały do Polski. Mamy coraz wiecej fanów motorowodnych. A to co proponuja u nas w sprzedaży to można grzadki robić do sadzenia pietruszki Pozdrawiam.

Nie wiarygodne że można zrobić coś takiego z tworzywa. Zazwyczaj są to odlewy lub z ciężkiej blachy zrobione . Najważniejsze że nie obciąża dodatkowo Lodzi, dodatkowy balast na łodzi zbędny. Pozdrawiam z Poland

what is the size ofbthat chain u were using?

Will using chain with this anchor help to secure my jet ski in choppy condition

I had a copper anchor for my jet ski it was working really well in calm condition. But not so well with the waves. So would adding some chain help.

I saw this first on ABC-TV New Inventors (Australia) via podcast (episode 08, 2010). Brilliant guys!!! I want one! The moment I'm back from OS, I'll be ordering one for use with my kayak.
