Ironwood Pacific Anchor Ring Anchor Retriever

I have a #8 danforth anchor with just 4 ft of chain. This works perfectly. I have used it in 35 ft and also 60 ft. Saves a lot of effort. The carabiner works fine but I wish it were just a tad larger to make it easier to hook and unhook the ring.

This product makes fishing alone in Intracoastal waters much safer. I can raise my anchor with ease without a second man on board. Watched some YouTube videos on anchor balls before making purchase. High quality materials, very durable.

Hi guys, I have had a chance to test this sea anchor out in 60 metres of water. It works and removes a lot of the strain on the backs given that the retriever can hold a solid anchor on the surface. So all you are doing is retrieving a floating anchor instead of trying to pull the anchor from the bottom. Highly recommend and nice price for what it can do for your fishing experience.

Beats the hell out of pulling up an anchor. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended...spend more time fishing less time pulling a heavy anchor up. Simply attach it to your anchor rope and drive straight ahead into the current slowly and the anchor will pop loose and the anchor ball will go behind the boat bringing the rope through the metal on the anchor ball. When the anchor is all the way up to the anchor ball just pull in your anchor rope and anchor (which is now weightless due to the big bobber basically) Simply take off your anchor ball from your anchor line and head to the next spot throw the anchor and get back to fishin!!!

Good quality and works as advertised.

This was my first experience using an anchor ball to retrieve my anchor. I couldn’t believe how easy and quick it was. I routinely fish in 60-100’ of water and had always pulled the anchor in hand over hand, NEVER again. The ball fits in a forward locker when not in use in my 21’ boat.

This product was made for 6-12 pound anchors and would not support a 22 pound anchor with 10 feet of 3/8 chain.

This thing will save your back. Had to get a bigger hook but works great
