Newport Vessels hasn’t designed this mushroom anchor specifically for kayaks, as the attached float demonstrates. Newport Vessels Premium Mushroom Anchor - Best Mushroom-Style Anchor for Kayak Fishing Ideal for rocky bottoms where the flukes can catch and hold, this is a great kayak angling anchor for shallow rivers or tidal zones. Even minimal care will keep it in fine shape for the rest of your life, though you will need to replace the line every few years. Seattle Sports’ anchor is pretty much a solid hunk of mild steel, painted to increase corrosion resistance. This kit comes with two carabiners, a ring to set up a trolley, 50 feet of nylon rope, and a stuff sack. The four flukes fold up against the shaft (or shalt) of the anchor and are held in place by a heavy metal collar. In my experience, that’s more the rule than the exception, and you’ll be using the weight of the anchor in conjunction with the flukes to hold (or slow) your kayak’s movement. I’d strongly recommend the heavier option, especially since you’re not going to be running enough line (rode) to really set your anchor. Seattle Sports offers two weights: a 1.5- and 3.25-pound option. Instead, kayak anglers get exactly what they need without the clutter of things they don’t. Seattle Sports makes a folding grapple-style anchor just for kayaks, skipping the larger, heavier anchors and unnecessary floats more common for boats and jet skis.
