- ** A GRAPNEL ANCHOR WAS USED IN THIS VIDEO FOR DEMONSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY. IT'S ALL I HAD ON HAND AT THE TIME OF MAKING THE VIDEO AND I JUST USED IT FOR THE LOOP TO DEMONSTRATE HOW TO TIE THE KNOT. I WASN'T TYING THIS KNOT SPECIFICALLY FOR A GRAPNEL ANCHOR, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO SHOW YOU A UNIVERSAL KNOT THAT CAN BE USED ON MOST ANCHORS ** If you are using a grapnel anchor this knot will work, I've never EVER lost a grapnel anchor using this knot, nor has anyone I know who have tied the exact same knot on this anchor. With that said, there is a better more popular way of rigging a grapnel anchor where you tie both ends of the anchor. Sorry for any confusion.
This is a super easy knot to tie to most anchors. Anyone can tie it!

Just want to say thank u. The best knot video!!!!! Thank u so much. I’m new to these and I’m a single mom with 2 sons. And we kayak and fish. So really needed this knot. Thanks again. God Bless
Thanks! So glad to hear this helped you all out.
Thank you for making this video. Now I can do SUP yoga with my board!
Maybe a NOTE: for revision that anchor tied in that fashion will give any boater/angler a migraine if/when it is lodged in a tree root/branch/structure it would be better served on the bottom of the anchor with breakaway i.e., zip tie attached to the loop shown in this video.
Video needed

Thanks for your comment. You are completely correct: the knot shout be on the bottom with a zip tie on the top (as all of us at the marina use). Although well intentioned, the video description of how to tie an anchor is a waste of time and will ultimately snag. I was cringinging while watching.
I tie the knot through the eye on the bottom of the anchor so when I pull it up, it doesn't get caught on anything. It's been working great
Great job!!!! Made this super easy whole we were out on the water!!!!
Thanks, Glad to hear this video helped you out on the water, Laurean!
The knot is good, but you never tie a grappling anchor at the top!! You tie it to the bottom, then use a false knot or zip tie at the top, so if the anchor gets snagged/stuck on the bottom of the lake/river, when you pull really hard, the knot at the top will come undone (or break the zip tie), and then you’ll be able to pull the anchor up from the bottom, so the hooks don’t snag.
It's nice & easy fastest to tight....shares more.... 🙏🙏👍
The best!
That'll work. Thank you sir.
Thank you sir my kayaks anchor looks alot better now 🤘🎣
You're welcome!
Awesome thanks
lol I just bought that anchor today
I just got an anchor for my paddle board and had no idea what type of knot to tie. This helped immensely, and was so easy! Thank you!
Attach the rope through the other end with a zip tie. Itll prevent you from getting it stuck.
Thanks for the tip Mellissa!
correct
Can someone explain where to put the zip tie at? And what do you mean by it will prevent you from getting stuck?
@@jvalentin84 czcams.com/video/JWpO2rtTdj4/video.html you can see the zip tie on this video...
Great knot, however if I may say with any anchor you should attach a chain prior to a rope. That gives it little play if wind pushes you your rope only picks up chain portion instead of whole anchor and now your drifting out of area you intend to fish ect
Thanks! You're absolutely right. I personally use a chain on most of my anchors too and it makes a big noticable difference. I just used a knot directly to this anchor for demonstration purposes in this video.
Should have also tied off to the bottom of the anchor and attached the top with a zip tie or something else that can break away
@@MattWolfgang yes yes I have to learn how to do that. I lost 2 anchors already.
Thank you sir!
You're welcome sir!
Good knot. Were you using polypropylene on purpose, or was that just around? I think three stranded nylon is properly more common and secure for anchor rode.
Anyway, i read your description, lol, I'm sure it was just demoing. It's a good knot, though, surprisingly, not the standard anchor hitch that's taught in schools afaik.
you sound a lot like Sam Kinison (1953-1992) :D
Oh ,OHHHHHH!!!!!😂😂
@@pappysproductions Do yourself a favour, and watch the Married with Children two-part episode: "It's a Bundyful Christmas", you won't be disappointed.
Ty I subbed
Also jw Mr. James, how much rope length do I need for paddleboarding/kayaking? I think the one I have is way too long.
In the past, only hemp or sisal fibers were used for the anchor ropes, which swelled when wet and the loose end was certainly banded/additionally secured. Now the same type of knot is made with a cheaper, but "knot-weaker" polypopylene rope, which does not swell and is no longer banded/additionally secured. In the case of frequent load changes, the double anchor bend on a polypropylene rope tends to come loose prematurely.
Perhaps the sailors, who are a little too traditional, should generally part with this knot and use a double constrictor knot instead?
(Hope, the translator don´t butchered everything!)
Früher wurden ausschließlich Hanf- oder Sisalfasern für die Ankertaue benutzt, die im nassen Zustand aufquollen und das losen Ende war sicherlich gebändselt/zusätzlich gesichert. Jetzt wird der gleiche Stek mit einem zwar preiswerteren, aber "knotenschwächeren" PolyPopylen-Seil ausgeführt, die nicht aufquellen und nicht mehr gebändselt/zusätzlich gesichert werden. Bei häufigen Lastwechseln neigt der doppelte Ankerstek bei einem PolyPropylenSeil dazu, sich frühzeitig zu lösen. Vielleicht sollten sich die etwas zu traditionsbewussten Seeleute generell von diesem Knoten trennen und stattdessen einen doppelten Würgestek benutzen?
Lots missing here as commented already, along with using anchor shackles, but cool knot.
The proper way to tie the knot is at the other end of anchor then lay the rope over the other end and tie it with breakable cable tie eo that when anchor get stuck in the water for some obstruction, we can pull the rope the other direction to break the cable tie and anchor can be moved out from opposite direction freely..
You're right. But as I said in previous comments, I only had a gapnel anchor handy, I was just using that Anchor as an example of how to tie that specific knot. With that said, I have used that knot for a grapnel anchor in the past and it worked great!
Good to know. Why not just use an anchor hitch or the ancient Portuguese bowline? A knot should not only be functional but also a work of art!
This is an anchor hitch (anchor bend). Just with three turns instead of two.
Exactly!
i prefer using a good quality chain and attaching to the anchor then attach the anchor line to the chain. IMO....
This is the best way to lose an anchor. You are suppose to tie it on the other end then use a light breakable tie where you have tied that knot
Thanks for the feedback! However, myself and everyone else I know have NEVER lost an anchor with this knot.
I'm not an expert but I'm not sure that "the more times you put through the eye the more it' stronger". The tension of the rope decrease along with the times you put it through. This decreases the efficiency of the last rope rings to make friction to the end rope (the one that you use to make the knot). I can understand that for very strong tensions "two times is better than one" (the usual anchor bend), but I'm not sure that three or for are better than two. And according to the classical "anchor bend" maybe even two is too much
Thanks for your opinion Pole 'n'tone! It's much appreciated! 🙂
Your welcome! Anyway, your explanation is absolutely clear!!

Ich denke du hast recht. Früher wurden ausschließlich Hanf- oder Sisalfasern für die Ankertaue benutzt, die im nassen Zustand aufquollen und das losen Ende war sicherlich gebändselt/zusätzlich gesichert.

That's not rope, it's line... No such thing as a rope on a boat.
Nice knot, but, poly rope WILL work loose! Two half hitches will work loose too. Also, this knot does not allow the END of the line to be tied to the loop on the anchor bottom. Tie line there, then zip-tie line to top of anchor. That way when anchor stuck, reverse boat and it will break zip tie and anchor comes loose cause it is now pulled from the bottom! Just saying!
I tried it with a 3/16 inch Nylon rope (diamond braid) and it worked. It will be used to hold a small bait cage with 8-12 oz weight in salt water.
The knot works with two loops instead of three. Btw, one mod is to loop the tag end twice instead of once, but that did not work for me czcams.com/video/G_BK3OFKGL0/video.html.
Another mod is to tie a knot on the tag end instead of half hitch knots. czcams.com/video/PGbY5FvHiPA/video.html. I guess you could combine this one with your video to produce a stronger knot that won't open up easily.
Glad to hear it worked!!
Great knot, poor location. Those are designed to be tied at the flanged bottom eye. I can testify to what happens if you dont. A) this setup works great if you have a rocky bottom however, you run the risk of losing it if you cant get it unstuck. B)you will drift away because you don't have correct scope. anchor>chain>rope or anchor>rope>chain>rope config - you will end up an unlucky bugger like myself spending half the day drifting away instead of fishing lol
A Bowen is the only way to tie the knot
so.... an anchor hitch with a 3rd loop. ok
You missed the hole on the other end.
I used that anchor just for demonstration purposes to show how to tie the knot. I wasn't showing how to tie it specifically on a grapnel anchor. It's the only anchor I had at my house at the time.
If you want to lose it, go ahead , 👎.
Wouldn’t it be better tie knot at bottom of anchor then zip tie rope to top of anchor
I am now dumber for seeing this.
Thanks for the feedback Jeff! Have a fantastic day!
funny - and correct
Great job, but looks like 19 people lost their anchor.
Don't do that. The wear on your rope causes the anchor rope to break. Nice try tho
Step one loop it through
Step two loop it through again- CANT the hole isn't big enough!
Step three watch different video
Go 100 times GMAFB
Not sure why you think this is so great
DISASTER
