  • This method require your to break the cable tied enable retrieve it.
  • For this you must have extra cable tied on hand. (note cable tied must 
  • not be too thick else it wouldn't break) 















  • This method need you to move your kayak direct on top of the anchor to retrieve it.

Importance of choosing Anchor Rope


  1. Rope must thick enough for hands to handle, Lack of grips will cut you hand and difficulty to retrieve especially in strong current situation. don't get too thick as we don't space on kayak.
  2. Rope must be less stretchable. In term on the anchor got struck by structure you needed to break the cable tied, stretchable rope will make more difficult to force break it.
