RAD Sportz Kayak Anchor 5.5 Pound, Silver – Folding Galvanized Steel Anchor with 40 ft Rope and Buoy

Whether you're fishing from a sit-on-top, taking photos from your paddleboard, or simply stopping to swim, a dependable anchor makes on-water stops safer and more relaxed. This RAD Sportz kit combines corrosion-resistant steel, a collapsible grapnel design that stores small, and a padded carry bag so you can stow the system without scratching gear. Included hardware — a stainless-style snap hook, PVC buoy, and 40-foot 7mm rope — gives you a ready-to-use setup for most inland and nearshore conditions.

How does this anchor perform in freshwater and saltwater?

The anchor's galvanized-steel construction and marine-grade rope help resist corrosion from both lake and coastal environments. While not maintenance-free, the materials provide solid durability with straightforward rinsing and drying after use. The 5.5 lb weight and four folding grapnel arms offer reliable holding power in weed, sand, and rock backgrounds common to small craft anchoring scenarios.

• Galvanized steel resists rust better than plain steel.
• 40 ft of 7mm rope gives scope for shallow to moderate depths.
• PVC buoy adds floatation and marker visibility.
• Foldable arms reduce exposure during transport and storage.

How easy is it to store and carry this anchor while paddling?

The grapnel arms collapse to a compact size so the anchor fits neatly into the included padded bag without snagging or scratching your boat. At roughly 3.5" when folded across and 14.5" long, it tucks into hatches, dry storage, or a trunk. The soft bag keeps the anchor quiet while underway and simplifies quick deployment at your chosen spot.

• Folds down to approximately 3.5" x 3.5" x 14.5" for compact storage.
• Padded carry bag protects hulls and reduces noise.
• Lightweight 5.5 lb weight balances holding power and portability.
• Snap hook allows fast attachment and detachment to a D-ring or cleat.

Will this kit work for fishing, SUP anchoring, or jet ski use?

The anchor was designed for multiuse with kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, canoes and small personal watercraft. Its size and weight make it well suited for anglers who need to hold position and for paddlers pausing in current or wind. For larger boats or heavy currents you may prefer a heavier anchor, but this kit covers most recreational needs.

• Good for shore fishing, light-current holding, and leisure stops.
• Float and rope help locate and retrieve the anchor quickly.
• Stainless-style snap hook supports fast rigging to vessels.
• Reflective silver finish improves underwater visibility.
