Anchor Holds Great, September 17, 2008
By IRISHPETE from INDIANA

"I have two of the 12lb anchors on my 17ft Tracker Bass Boat. These anchors have never failed to hold tight even in windy condtions. They are fairly compact in size and do not take up a lot of space in the boat."

Holds tight, May 18, 2008
By MadMatt61 from Indiana

"I bought this anchor after a friend recommended it and I was pleasantly suprised. My buddy has a 16ft alum. bass boat and was very happy with this anchor after several others didn't hold tight. I was a bit unsure since my boat is a 19ft fiberglass bass boat well, let me tell you a 15lb at each end and my boat stays put! I couldn't be happier with this anchor"

Great Anchor, April 2, 2008
By CaptainBubba from Texarkana, TX

"After messing around with several other types and brands of anchors, I was told that this would be the best one to use. I took a trip to BPS and bought a 30# anchor in hopes that it would keep my 17 foot fiberglass boat in place.

Regarless of wind or other conditions, tying on to this anchor is like attaching your boat to a truck engine. Once it finds a hold, it stays put. Keeps me on my cold weather deep water Crappie spots.

Long story short, unless I loose this by mistake, it will be the last anchor I every buy.

This is one all around great anchor!, October 6, 2007
By Fish Dog- Tigard, Oregon from Tigard, Oregon

"This is the most versatile anchor I have ever used. I find it works well in Lakes, gravel or sandy bottom rivers with moderate current and the coating saves wear on my boat. I have serveral sizes of these anchors and will sometimes use them on the bow and off the transom to keep my boat steady in the current or wind. Thanks Bass Pro."

Great Product, March 3, 2007
By JPyle from Lafayette, La.

"Bought two 12 pounders, I use in salt water coves sandy bottoms. Windy conditions and changing tides and the anchors preformed well for my 16ft Pan fisher. The design of the anchor allowed it to dig in and hold the boat."

more fish, July 28, 2006
By smallies from Lancaster,PA

"This 15 lb anchor is the best. It holds my boat in swift current to keep me in place so that I can concentrate on fishing. When the time comes to pull it up it is not a problem. I would need a 25 pound
mushroom anchor to hold like this one does.
