Perception Kayak 8080008 Anchor Review

The anchor worked great and kept our kayaks on the sandbar while we explored it. Make sure the lock is in place to hold the anchor open.

So much fun! Great kayak anchor for slightly windy days or choppy water. We actually sit in the water for lunch or snacks and it easily fits in my Old Town Loon 120 so I can just enjoy my meal.
