Description of GILI 3.5 lb Folding Anchor: Efficient Paddle Board and Kayak Anchor Kit for Water Adventurers

COMPACT: Our 3.5 lb / 4-flute folding anchor is a complete anchor system set. It's the perfect size and weight to keep your SUP and Kayak in place for yoga, fishing, or basking in the sun. FOLDABLE: The anchor folds into a 12” x 3” size and slips into a durable Anchor Dry Bag (NEW!) for easy travel and helps prevent any scratches to your board, raft, or kayak. DURABLE: Perfect for any environment. The anchor is a corrosion resistant product made to be used with any SUP or Kayak. Grapnel anchors hold well in coral, rocky, or heavily weeded bottom conditions and are ideal for short term anchoring. HIGH-VISIBILITY ROPE: Included with the anchor is a 30 ft (7mm thickness) marine grade rope that is built to last. A PVC buoy helps you spot your anchor line and a stainless steel snap hook provides easy positioning and packing. PERFECT FOR TRAVEL: Easily store the anchor in your trunk, under your boat seat, in any PWC storage compartment, or on the deck of your board.

The bag is best for boating and sailing

SHIT. I just opened the box and the bottom of the packaging is torn - a big hole. See image. Don't waste money. I had to put a star - should be ZERO.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Fits

Poor quality bag

I hope the anchor works well - it seems strong but I haven't had time to test it yet. Terrible quality carry case - ripped before I could test the anchor.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • not as thick as other picks

Incorrect product description.

Order aluminum dowels according to the product description. The packing list shows an aluminum anchor. Manufacturer's box indicates galvanized steel. I didn't order it and I didn't want it either.

Pros
  • GOLS certificate
Cons
  • Negative impression

I love this item for my SUP.

Excellent anchor and very portable. I used some information I found in the review to tie the rope so it can be pulled out if it gets into the weeds. So far I haven't had any issues with the anchor not being secured or being pulled out of the weeds. Love it.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Doubtful

Excellent anchor. Not a very big bag.

The anchor itself is amazing. rope is great. The buoy is still amazing despite being made out of foam - we'll see how it holds up. The bag it came with sucks lol. The anchor tore the bottom seam just because I kept it in the car. I'll take another bag for him, maybe mesh. But yeah, dock a star just for that. Also a well made anchor.

Pros
  • High marks for hold and durability from testers
Cons
  • 0

Good anchor but belay properly.

Great kayak or SUP carrier. The included rope is high quality and the bag serves its purpose. The only thing I recommend for anyone reading this is to add a marine grade stainless steel 1/4" D shackle and a small zip tie to mount it properly. See my picture for the correct setting. If it gets stuck, you want to be able to pull hard on the rope and untie the tie, forcing the rope to pull the anchor out rather than going deep.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • No cannon

Works perfectly! New improved bag.

The anchor worked great as mentioned in previous reviews. Kayaking with my wife and mother-in-law on a work day. Holds 3 surfboards in place for hours and in multiple locations. The anchor system came with a really good strong dry bag which should last a lifetime with good care. As mentioned in other reviews, I set my anchor to "break away" in case it ever snagged something. Just search "rip anchor installation" on YouTube to find instructions. Good product. Definitely recommend.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Compatibility
