Review on ⚓ BoatTector 1/2" x 150' Solid Braid MFP Anchor Line with Thimble - Extreme Max, Royal Blue by Rusty Calcara

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not for rivers and block systems.

Purchased to be used as an anchor line for a river raft. I've used it 3 times on limestone and limestone influences. The rope is beginning to fray and may be worn out. I'm not sure if this anchor line is designed to rub against rocks, but it does happen. I bought it because it was flexible, lay well on the raft, and seemed like it wouldn't "curl up". But unfortunately it starts to twist and create kinks which eventually get stuck in my pulley blocks and prevent the anchor from dropping. I think I'll avoid it (save it for kayaking where I don't use a pulley anchor system) and on lakes where it won't rub against rocks.

Pros
  • Hard braided structure, smooth and flexible, resistant to bending and buckling.
Cons
  • Expensive
