WoW ... as soon as you said "steel rod," I told my daughter you were gonna make a "slide"!. I've seen similar devices on larger saltwater anchors,,, makes PERFECT SENSE . I like your style, you get right to it. Thanks. Nick in Redfield Arkansas
Great idea! I use the sacrificial zip tie on my folding anchor, but most often use 5/16" chain in a bicycle inner tube...I have 2 configurations, 1 of them is 16" long, and straight, and 1 is 24" long and the connecting link is in the middle. The inner tube keeps anything from sticking through a link of chain and hanging up. Besides being almost totally snagless, you can draw the chains up on a shorter rode and use them as drag chains to slow you down in current. Stay Safe!
Very close to the way I have my plow anchor design however I can see three ways to improve that anchor trouble retrieval system. You need to purchase a plow anchor, you need to rethink the way you think that wire, & without chain atop that anchor there is no bite without structure.
Um nope the first thing that is going to happen to me is a limb is going to run through that contraption and then it won't matter what position anything is in...goodby anchor.
Nice video and interesting hack... Would it be fair to say that if the anchor is wedged in rocks in close to a vertical position, that the line is not going slide from end of the rod to the other and pull free?

I use old cast weights that i ripped out of old houses back in my construction days. Everyone asks why I save junk. Nowadays its not hording its "repurposing"! Get snagged real bad no big deal I have plenty where that came from.
Thanks I used it today On Gibbons Creek reservoir before the storm came in. It healed good and was easy to bounce it up and come right out of the brush pile
Yep, you’re right. It works when you get the right angle but in a kayak, you can move around and keep working the rope and then it will finally pop loose. It’s happened to me quite a few times using this kayak anchor, but I’ve gotten it back each time
I got tired of hanging up and brush with noticed that the forks fold backwards, so why not pull it backwards. That’s what happens when you use a zip tie at the front and anchor at the back anyway so why not let it slip that way. Thanks for watching. Hope you like and share.
Considering this is for a kayak, there isn't much drag due to the size and weight of the kayak. Also this would only be a problem if the kayak owner fell asleep and didn't realize that they were drifting.
@@sidecarmisanthrope5927 speaking as a kayaker. Not sure what kind of kayaking you do, but there is not much I can do if I am fishing and a 30 mph gist comes from out of nowhere. Bottom line, that is a whole lot of work for something a zip tie could manage.
