Dandy product.......well thought out.

I haven't done much anchoring in canoe country. If I did however, I would certainly be interested in one. When I anchor in my flats boat I like my anchor to stick and I mean right now. There are few things more frustrating than an anchor that continually drags. I sorta wonder about the pile of rocks in a mesh bag........would probably do pretty good even in a moderate blow with enough scope but that's merely conjecture on my part.

If I was to employ one of these canoe anchors I would like to be able to retrieve it from the backside. PJ is right on with those flukes digging up underneath some boulders. They might not break off as easily as you think and then what? Your stuck.........time to cut the rope.

On my flats boat the rope is affixed to the opposite end of where it is normally attached. Then I run the rope up the shaft and use a cable tie to position the rope in its normal position. If I hang the anchor it is a simple matter of breaking the tie. Now I can pull from the rear of the anchor. I have never lost an anchor with this set-up. If I were to go for this product I would try and rig it likewise.
