Product Description
The unique offshore box anchor holds your boat at a 45° angle from the bottom, digging in the downward facing flukes without snagging them on debris. Easy to handle, this anchor gives you more control over the placement of your boat, regardless of water conditions. Toss the anchor overboard, and it will set within one foot of its landing. To retrieve, pull the line to bring the boat over the anchor. The lack of upward facing surface area allows the anchor to pop off the bottom. Stainless steel stabilizing arm folds compactly into the included ventilated storage bag. For boats 18' - 30'.

Excellent Anchor
By Jeffrey A. Lohmann
I have a "small" box anchor that I use for a 21' wakeboard boat. This is the best anchor I've ever used for all types of freshwater anchoring. It holds fast in sand, mud, rocks and weeds. It truly requires no chain and half the anchor line to set quickly. I've been an offshore boat captain for almost 20 years and have used just about every type of anchor made.The box anchor folds flat and is easy to store. Every one of my family and friends agree this is the best small boat anchor they've used. If you ever go to Havasu or local lakes in California, pay attention to how many people use box anchors. I use it with an "anchor buddy" (bungee type anchor line) and it's the fastest way to anchor in shallow (10-20') water.Most anchors (especially Danforth and other fluke type anchors) require about a boat length of chain to maintain the proper angle and weight to set effectively. With the box anchor (no chain - rope only), I don't have to drag chain in and out of my boat when anchoring. Chain always seems to drag mud, weeds and gunk all over my boat. Plus it's a pain to try to keep the heavy chain from scratching my boat.The only complaint I've heard is that it can be a little difficult for some people to open/close the anchor. The locking mechanism is spring loaded and is pretty stiff. I'm sure it's made stiff on purpose to prevent it from accidentally closing (fold up) while anchored. Once you learn to press the locking lever evenly, it's easy.

By T. Meiss
This anchor works very well in any bottom conditions. Much better than the fluke style anchor I used before. It is a little expensive, bulky and heavy but very effective. No regrets.
