Mine arrived today! I have a bow electric also and had no second thoughts adding one of these anchors. I have experienced issues with drag with other style anchors and I hope this will hold better. The confidence of being able to drop it anywhere without concern for getting stuck is a huge bonus especially when boating alone or with small children. Product looks fantastic, well manufactured, packaged and I cant wait to give it a trial.

Just picked mine up today!

Yes please let steve test it for us.

Hi, can you get in touch, and send one to Mr SV Panope to do a anchor test and I'll be convinced, he has his own independent testing channel on TH-cam, but nevertheless it looks great. Interesting design, hopefully you do well from it, I wouldn't hesitate buying one all-bar a couple of questions. Q. What stops the sacrificial pin from shearing during normal use, eg. anchored overnight when asleep and the weather turns nasty, not sure if I'd sleep very well knowing that only a small pin which is designed to shear is taking majority of the load... Or the sacrificial pin has degraded or been compromised say over a few years of use, unbeknown to the average boater who doesn't check his equipment as often as the next guy. Gather the pin is 316 stainless, it does work harden over time. Cheers.

Interesting concept.

Reefs are crying

Old farts gone fishin, use of Native related music , very sad.

The intro is like a feature length movie! LOL, how much did you pay Yothu Yindi and ACDC?

Mike Cunningham makes it look like hard work to catch a barra there, you fellas slayed it. Well done

Those things are kinda like a cross between a tarpon, snook, and a redfish!

Yum!!!!

Some good Barra caught guys 😊. Looks like an awesome trip. I can't wait to get back up there. Thanks for keeping me keen to go and Nibby just needs a bit more netting experience and he will do just fine.🤣👍

good music at intro , goodo

Looks like the bell family were there

Cool ep and nice fish

Looks like you had a great trip. Plenty of nice fish caught. 👍 And that bloody boat ramp! They have now dug out thousands of tons of sand and the ramp is back to normal.

Owgoodwazat 🤠. Great fishing ,enjoyed the sound tracks 😎heading up in October for 8 nights .. hope to half as good as you guys !

First time the wind veered or vessel swings 180 at anchor I bet it’s own chain will foul the anchor.

Just a quick grab from our King Ash Bay Adventure. Full drop coming soon.

Entire vessel and lives of all on board can be at risk when propulsion is lost in high seas. In this situation the anchor must be able to grab and hold bottom to pull the bow to face the oncoming waves and swell. In these conditions the tensile shear impulse loads on the pin have the potential to cause the anchor to release from the bottom and it then being certain that it cannot bite in again. What load/ stress modelling has been done to factor in wave height, water depth, rode anchor/ rope composition, hull weight, hull buoyancy, hull sail effect etc? Unless this has been comprehensively done, how can sale of this design be justified?

As a qualified engineer, I find the promulgation of this design extremely concerning. A loss of propulsion in high seas can lead to swamping and capsizing unless the anchor is quickly dropped and absolutely holds bottom, to pull the bow to face into the oncoming waves and swell. The range of variables contributing to the cyclical and impulse tensile loads on the anchor stem and therefore the shear pin in these conditions, are almost impossible to accurately simulate. I therefore respectfully enquire how this design has been proven safe for use in such emergency conditions.

Can't wait to get mine 👍

There are only a few scenarios where your anchor can be used to save your vessel and the lives of all on board. One of them is when you lose propulsion in rough conditions and need to immediately drop anchor to pull the bow into the oncoming sea to stop swamping and/or capsizing or stop being swept onto reef / rocks. Once the anchor bites in such conditions, shock / impulse tension forces along the line of ground tackle pull can be tremendous. If the selected shear pin happens to operate in these conditions, you are back in peril with no possibility of the anchor reconnecting with the bottom. No thanks!

I am obviously missing something here. In the event of unavoidably needing to drop anchor and ride out rough conditions, say in the event of no fuel or other motor issue, it is obviously essential that the anchor stays connected to the bottom. How does the design of the Boomer ensure that repeated shear load on the pin (during cyclical violent lifting of the bow) does not cause loss of traction at the worst possible time?

Can this be used for 4x4 cars driving in sand?

It hardly showed the sarca in comparison.

Mate if you don't mind what river are you on I have been to the limmen river and looking for some new areas. Thanks.

Trip of a lifetime, if you love the bush😀

The boomer anchor has been great for me. I fish outside mainly solo , and it allows me to control the release from the helm safely .Also it's a lot easier to replace another pin than to try to bend a traditional pronged reef anchor. Thanks to all that has put thought ,design and practicality to create a very versatile safe anchor.

Great to know that it works on live coral.

Clever idea!

This anchor has a number of significant improvements on current anchoring options for your boat. It all adds up to a much safer, less stressful, more efficient use of your fishing time and hopefully a more successful fishing/boating trip.

Holding looks terrible

Why not actually show the trial? It would be a better demonstration than a verbal description.

EXCELLENT VIDEO DEMO.........all the way into a CAVERN also!

That might be true but you also use a running float with the Mooloolaba Reef Pick to put sideways pressure on the tie to break it .

HI ALL THE WAY FROM THE CARIBBEAN ISLAND OF TRINIDAD. LOVELY VIDEOS. BEAUTIFUL WATERS AND VIEW. MORE VIDEOS PLEASE.HAVE A LOVELY DAY AND BEST WISHES.

So what you are saying is, you have designed an anchor to fail when it needs to hold.

Perfect can't wait for One to be On My boat

Good video mate can't wait to get One soon

That anchor is stuck fast 👍

You guys have certainly done your home work on this one.

The field tests are interesting. You guys must have had lots of fun with the trials.

Watched many of your videos. Very impressive anchor indeed.

Very clever anchor design.

Well done Meg. Having a polished finish helps to see it too.

No brainer anchor right there. A must have anchor.

Well done with the design fellas.
