- How To: SETUP ANCHOR RELEASE!! NO MORE LOST ANCHORS!
In this video I am showing you how to rig your anchor so it will release when stuck in wrecks, rocks, or any structure. It will save you from losing your anchor in the structure and having to buy a new anchor as well as be more safe as you are not trying to pry out the stuck anchor with the boat that could potentially cause injury or even boat capsizing.

That crappy anchor you showed actually has this system essentially built in. If the anchor snags, you can get the boat on the other side and the shackle can slide down the shaft to near the pivot and pull the anchor from the other end. It's actually a nice design.
Exactly!
Actually you are right but they suck to actually hang bottom. The flukes are dull and too short as well as the shaft being so light it does not perform as well as the danforth with solid shank. But this is my experience and this setup was taught to me by very qualified fisherman growing up. Thanks for watching!
I never realized that about mine having that ability ... thanks for pointing that out
The anchor is fine. This design is sound.🥱
@@JackedUpFishingNo, you were right first time the other anchor with the hollow shank is no good . When the tide changes the shackle will work it’s way to the other end and together with the pull on the boat reversed by the current it will pull the anchor out! That is what would happen here in UK where I live. Really useful advice using ties otherwise so many thanks.
This method is useful for fishing or in situations when there is always a watch. Never use this method when anchoring overnight or in the case you may take a nap on the boat. Should the tie-wraps break (from a change in wind or current etc.) your boat would be adrift and the results could be disastrous!
💯
Very good point. I am overnight alone in high winds. So clearly this would not be safe
@@adamzetter5482 In that situation, you just add another shackle to the eye and it operates like a normal anchor. One you are done, just remove that and you're back to the breakaway setup. We do that all the time. It takes a few minutes to add the shackle and you're done. Just keep extra shackle in your boat for that situation. Instead of tie wraps, we prefer to use stainless wires. It's more reliable than tie wraps.
Do not, I repeat DO NOT, use this method for anchoring overnight in any kind of wind or if your safety is at stake.
I did, the tie straps broke, and my sailboat drifted into the shore while I was sleeping overnight on a lake. The conditions were not harsh… just a light steady breeze.
But, hey … I guess I did not lose my anchor.
Great idea! I am so pleased that other fishermen pass on their ideas - Thank you!
Appreciate the comment I still have this same anchor and use it around our jetty. Tight lines
Awesome video, thanks for sharing this.
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant idea. Thanks! 😊
Thanks for watching
This is great video! Thank you so much for this tutorial. We just lost our anchor at the jetty this morning, almost ruined our 4th of July fishing day😂
Awesome thx for watching!
Thanks for the shut out,, great video and well explained. Thanks again for giving me the heads up about the risk of anchoring there. Hope to see you on the water one day. I've recommended your channel to a few fishing buddies.
Thanks and yeah if u see me out there hit me up 🤙
Top Tip. Secure the long "ears" of the Cable Ties to the shaft via a homemade clamp so when they pop the Ties aren't left on the Seabed.
Yeah I will be doing an updated video with some revisions
@@JackedUpFishing Ok mate, look forward to it. See ya.
It works...but if the wind/tide change and the boat swings around it can tear the zip ties off and pull the anchor loose and it won't reseat... means you're drifting until you pull the anchor up, put new zip ties on, and drop it down again. Then if the wind changes again you do it again. Better solution is to have a second, lighter line tied to the head of the anchor with a float... if your anchor gets stuck just motor up to the float and lift it there.
This is a fishing anchor setup not an overnight anchoring system
Great video Bill! I need to update the cheap anchor (doesn’t have the solid shaft) that came with my boat incase of emergencies, but for all of my fishing anchoring, I get to push a button (spot lock) 😁
I actually have the spot lock as well on my bay boat. Think I am getting the big boy for my Seahunter for offshore too. Definitely a game changer! When anchoring so close to the rocks the anchor just feels little safer, especially with boat traffic and waves.
@@JackedUpFishing and for anchoring on the 100ft wrecks!! I believe my dealer has an 87” one in stock.. maybe big enough for your sea hunter!
I think I am going to go with the 96" Rhodan. Gotta sell a few things off first though , they want some serious coin for them.
@@JackedUpFishing I bet they do, but it’ll be so worth it!
good video, i will try that, just a question first - what happens if the anchor lays down on the seabed the opposite way round to how you have it on the table, in other words... if it lands on the seafloor with the chain first on the bottom - will it still grip the sand and still be able to release? or do you have to try and make the anchor land the right way up with the chain on the up side - because that might be easier said than done, or will it still work what ever way it lands? thanks
Depends on depth. But for fishing in waters up to 100ft I have not had any problems with it fowling up or not hanging. And when tie wraps or tie cord breaks you just put new one on and you still have your anchor. Hope that helps
Great stuff'
Thanks man!
Ever since I started doing this a few years ago I have always retrieved my anchor but recently broke one of the hooks on a small foldable, not bad considering how many times it became unstuck
Awesome! Yeah sometimes they do break or bend for sure
For anybody trying this method,
never overtighten a shackle pin as it can deform the shackle and reduce the SWL, mouse the pin with SS wire.
Attach the bow shackle with the bow to the thimble on the rope and the pin to the chain to save sideloading.
Sir you are 100 percent correct and I respect your knowledge. This is just a simple redneck fishing setup around rocks. Not a serious overnight setup to leave unattended.
Subscribed.
I dont have a large boat, just a small flat bottom one with a mushroom anchor
That’s all you need! Simple is the best sometimes
I use a hook up like that on my kayak. A Danforth anchor does the same thing without the tie wrap.
Only on little anchors with hollow shank.
Proper anchorage uses the chain as a percentage of the holding power of the setup.
Doing this trick loses that power. Get a chain that is what's needed plus the shank length.
Depending boat size will determine chain length.
Yeah think you are over thinking it. It’s only a foot or 2 up the shank which I have a lot more chain left. On my offshore boat I run 25-30ft of chain
No tie-wraps in the ocean please, would it be possible to use cotton string, maybe steel wire that will rust out over time?
Yep going to an update video here soon, we went to a biodegradable string works good and is cheaper! Thanks for watching!
@@JackedUpFishing Awesome!
@@JackedUpFishing Love this, small drop, but all helps for the ocean!
I agree
Lovely
Thx 🙏
I use stainless steel wire instead of tie wraps
Nice good idea!
Some of us older who used a boat before you knew this. I even sow in my friend boat. I got news for you, will you go to sleep in a boat anchored like that? The force you put on it to try to release your anchor will be put on by the wave, current and tide movement also. You'll end up on a jetty or on some distance shores.
Whoa whoa whoa! This is a fishing setup for around rocks man! Don't over think it! It's clearly stated in video and in description. No I would not sleep on this hook setup.
Nice to know great video my son bought a Jon boat he is in Deland he is fishing just about every weekend
sweet! I actually some of my most memorable moments in jon boats. They are so much fun and simple. Thanks for watching!
Hey buddy can you give us a example of what would happen if the anchor drop on the other side, cause with the chain ajustes it can only burry itself on one side
Don’t over think it. This method has been used a while here on East coast of Florida for fishing applications. Nothing more. It works
Okay ill give it a try, and get back on the results thanks man
Maybe I'm asking the wrong question. But I'm a little confused when it comes to this set up. So say for instance you're on a sailboat and you're on the lake and camping overnight. The wind kicks up or the anchor direction changes as the wind vane around. When you wind vane around there's gonna be a lot of pressure on those zip ties as the anchor turns and writes itself. Am I miss judging the situation?
It’s not for overnight anchoring as I said in the video it’s for fishing to keep your anchor from hanging in the rocks
i always rig my anchor exacty like this buttttt why when i come to my fav spot im the one who always not holding while other local fisherman just using rope direct to anchor without any chain but holding so easy… where do i do wrong?
Depends on weight of anchor, style of anchor, and scope. If all are the same they might be putting it in a rock or something to hold them. Thanks for watching.
Well I been watching Salty Strikes and Jetty Rocks for a while now . I am from PA. And a place in Mims and have a boat there and one here for fishing Lake Erie Walleye.. But because of the covid 19 I am sitting here in the cold watching fishing videos. LoL.Hope to get the vaccine and get down and do some fishing and shrimping.I started watching your videos and like them good job. I do like the Tuesday ones.
Thats awesome thanks for the kind words. And I didn't think anyone was liking the Tuesdays lol.
What is the chain for? Can you shackle the rope to the anchor?
I guess you could, the chain is for weight and helps anchor dig in.
Neat idea. Thank you for sharing. Not a save the planet nut. But I think I might zip tie the zip ties to the anchor to prevent lost of plastic in the ocean
Yeah I need to do an updated video with some of the suggestions from the comments.
Well done sir. Love seeing folks always adapting with new ideas. Wishing yall well.
Would This Work Also In The Columbia River
Getting ready to do an update video with some new techniques
A-HAAA!! So that's how it's done!!!
Yes sir! Thanks for watching!
What If the anchor sets with the chain on the bottom? Will it still come loose?
It should, you can use the boat and the chain should pull easily.
i recently lost the same anchor. i think i will just drill a hole like you did, thread a separate rope there attached to a buoy rather than just disperse the zip ties. thanks for the idea.
Yeah I do not use zip ties anymore, just use string now.
@@JackedUpFishing i went underwater to observe how the anchor will deploy initially with a light string tied like yours. even with very light waves and at a depth of 3 meters, the danforth swayed and it won't always land on its back in a plow position.
another drawback with the light cotton string is it can snap widway on it's descent.
i find putting a polyester rope tied on the hole, then attached to the bouy more manageable. the rope length is just over the depth +2 meters for the buoy to play on. it also gives me a radius where the anchor is located.
this method seems more apt to me because there are rocks where i anchor most of the time.
you have a very good idea here, it just needs to be modified if needed be.
@@antoniosalvador9754 yeah that’s not an option where I am
Located. We fish 100-350ft and no way I could do another rope and buoy. But if it works for you then that’s awesome. I use paracord type material now and have had no issues with the anchor grabbing. Especially in the reefs and rocks, that’s the reason for this setup. If it was just sand we wouldn’t need this setup right ?
@@JackedUpFishing that figures. that's just so deep for me to anchor. I'm a small time recreational boater with occasional trolling to fish.
i lost my anchor when it got stuck on rocks and there was sudden increase in the wave heights that made it dangerous to dive and retrieve it. the rope was cut and the anchor was never retrieved. i hope the guy who took my anchor can find happiness or sickness...
good talk.
“60% of the time it works every time”.
- Brian Fantana
Oooook...
There should be a little slack between the two anchoring points.
It seems to work good like I have it, but you might be right
You might want to put a little bit more chain on there given that some of it has been used up on the retrieval system
I Have a ton actually too much lol
Wonder how long before rust problem, now that protective coating was defeated by drill.
Still going to this day
If you did the shackle too the anchor with the bolt from the underside l would have thought you can use wire and the shackle head isnt sticking up in the way of the chain
yeah i didn't use wire because sometimes it can cut people pulling anchor. This is for anchoring up to 100ft. Fishing applications around hard structure where losing anchors is fairly common. Thanks for watching!
Nice vdo for fishing ❤❤
Many many thanks
The first shackle at the base of the anchor should have been put on upside down (bolt facing down) so as not to interfere with the chain.
This anchor is still in use after 3 years. Works flawlessly
How long might the second attachment point last since you drilled through the galvanization layer, exposing the raw steel to seawater? Do have a method that doesn't include leaving plastic garbage (zip ties), in the water?
Still in use today so pretty long time. Switched to little piece of thin string or rope and works good. Need to update video
"Safety wire" is not optional. Mousing a shackle should be SOP, no exceptions. Torque or Loctite is not a substitution for mousing.
Thanks.
Say your moored up with this set up and the weather turns rough. Will the cable straps hold the anchor with the rough weather or snap and make the boat be able to lift anchor
You are looking way too deep into it. This is for day fishing in a spot you know has rocks or snags. Nothing more., you are totally correct for typical mooring ,
So nice
Thanks
👍Terrific demo, video & instructions. I love this idea. 💝
😳Drill a hole? I’m an independent girlie girl, and I do have some tools…but I’m definitely not comfortable drilling into that metal.😫😞.…well that eliminates me….I hope I don’t lose my anchor, but if I do…I guess I’m going shopping. 😂
I love your energy! Let me know if you need any help I will walk you through it!! Tight lines !!
@@JackedUpFishing - 👍🙏Thank you. It’s a genius idea. 😃💝
if anchor return the back when on the sea how about that?
Sorry, I do not know what you are asking.
Why to make some safety wires tie? You always can come forward on your boat and pull anchor out upright...
lol ok. 👍
Oooooohhhh, a Columbia Ri setup! How big of a boat are you setting up for? It's got to be a 26+ ft boat. Oh, BTW, those are zip-ties not wire ties. Thanks for reminding me.
All good! I run this setup on my bay boat as well as my 37ft offshore boat. Saves me from losing anchors to the structure. Will be doing an update on this video soon!
Okay, I'm going top be the greenie in the room, using cable ties isn't a good thing for the environment, you know, that place we love. A piece of twine is a good replacement for the cable ties, or even better, don't be a cheap arse and go and buy something like a Sarca anchor (there are a lot of other brands of the same type anchor) and you'll never need to use a dodgy backyard solution again.
Yes sir u are 100 percent right. This video was over 3 years ago, I need to update it showing the twine we use now. Thanks for the comment
i would of put d shackle up the other way
Gotcha, I actually just got rid of this same anchor. After 2 plus years it worked flawlessly.
Until the chain prevents the flukes from getting a hold
Yep then just pull it and redeploy. That’s fishing
Sometimes those cable ties prevent the anchor getting through the bow sprit
Not really but I don’t use cable ties anymore doing update soon
Or worse, the anchor ball ring
@@michaelbenson6956 never had that problem in 30 years
Should have put your shackle pin underneath
Explain? Why?
so your chain lays flatter.@@JackedUpFishing
I’ve used this method for the last 30 years with a grapple anchor. I have never lost one. They always pull out backward.
Me2! If you know- You know right? I am going to redo this video here soon with some updates. But its still the same concept. Thanks for watching!
Baling wire is a bit more environmentally friendly...and never sleep on the anchor using this method.
💯
have you ever heard of using oil when drilling into metal?
Yep! That thing gauge metal didn’t even need it lol
screw that shackle bolt in from under the crown and you wont have it sticking up whee chain action against it can possibly work it loose...
Gotcha, yeah I will take a look at it. Thanks for comment!
Lucky that anchor didn't catch on your drill bit. Without clamping your anchor down that could have been the last time your able to have children.
And the other anchor you didn't like that's very similar. Its designed with the hollow oval shaped arm rather than a solid arm like the one you said you liked for the exactly for the reason your changing you favourite anchor. Its hollow so you can just use 1 chain attachment and if it gets caught, you pull-on the chain from the opposite direction and the 1 chain will just slide down the oval arm to pull on the opposite end releasing the anchor from what it's caught on.
Yeah but them other anchors do not catch bottom worth a damn! Solid shank are the only reliable way to go. Throw them others away because they are garbage. Done many anchors like this with great success.
It’s out of the way and the chain would sit flat against the shaft. Just me being fussy cheers
10/4 thanks for explaining. Honestly didn’t notice but I will look
You are not using near enough chain. Foot of chain per foot of boat. My boat is 26’ = 26’ of anchor chain. When you fish in 300’ of water with a strong wind and currents you will have a tough time setting anchor!
This is for our area of anchoring in max depth of 150ft
This method is old and a pain in the butt. The tie wraps are always snapping and you find yourself re-tying the tie wraps all day. Of course Murphy also goes out to sea, you will find yourself out of tie wraps and now the anchor needs to be changed back to the old method. Instead, buy a solid ring and attach it to a swivel that is attached to your line. Then take a piece of chain about 5-6 inches longer than the distance between the eye on the bottom of the anchor and the end of the anchor shaft. Attach a shackle to one end of anchor, next slip closed ring onto chain, then attach th second shackle to the other end of the anchor. This will allow the ring to slide back & forth from end to end as you motor forward or backwards to pull the anchor out in opposite direction. The line is pulling from the ring that is pulling from the chain crossing from shackle to shackle. Never mess with tie wraps again
Yeah I agree, I am going to do an updated video and change a few things. I like yours as well. Good stuff. Merry Christmas!
Nice, But...trashing thousands of tiewraps in the environment each year is not a good thing. But also easy to prevent with just a little more work. iI you bind the ends of the tiewraps round a shackle. Or drill a hole in the ends of the tiewraps and bind with a piece of stainless wire the ends to a shackle. This way you always retrieve not only your anchor but also the plastic which you can dispose to be recycled.
I like it. Great idea! I’ve been thinking of using like a biodegradable heavy string as well!and doing away with tie wrap.
@@JackedUpFishing Some test will show if that can handle just the amount of force needed. But leave no trace and retrieve all would be best. It seems that the Tiewrap method is widely used, so it could be worth to be the first to make an update video:) and safe a bit of what we like so much.
With the amount of plastic us humans are dumping into the oceans on a daily basis I doubt plastic tie will make a huge difference.Nice of you too care but unfortunately it's way too late.
Use something other than Zip ties. Enough plastic in ocean already. And if you can, avoid using any of these anchors at all that damage structure and coral systems below. No excuse these days. Use trolling motor spot lock. Quick, easy, can move around in small increments to make micro adjustments. We have the technology, people. Spend the money to protect the oceans and waterways, or stay home.
Not everyone had 4-5k to buy the spot lock. And yes no plastic anymore. We use little piece of string or rope now which is better
Be careful, that hole you just drilled will corrode now that is is not galvanized in the hole! I recommend spray painting galvanized paint on it. Tape off that section and give it several coats, drying in between each coat!
Good point for sure !
Great idea but now ur polluting the water with plastic when u brake them off !!!!
We switched to twine a while back
Great Idea if your paying attention, wouldn’t do an overnighter, or anchor un attended.
Thanks 🙏🏽
You should use another zip toe to hold the first zip tie onto your chain for easy pick up and safe disposal so as not to pollute the ocean!!!
Good suggestion
Use a zip tie instead of a safety wire in the shackles.
Will look into that! Thanks for info!
All good except, I would never drill a galvanized anchor... you just shorten the life. Better to buy an anchor with a built-in quick release... there's no price difference for that.
Send a link to the anchor with quick release… also I have had this same anchor now for years no signs of rust or corrosion. This video was posted years ago now
Could have used this pro tip a week ago...🤭
Lol I know, all my offshore anchors are setup like this. But I think it still wouldn’t have come up since you threw it so deep 😂😂
Buy catch n release
No way!
Is it a good idea to add to the worlds plastic in ocean problems . No it is not,
This is bad practice we are trying to clean our oceans from plastic..
For you kids at home, NEVER tighten a shackle like that. Finger tighten only, then back off an 1/8 turn or so.
Yeah and you will lose your anchor... Been there-done that... Do you work for the anchor companies? lol Joke. But in all honesty if you did that you would have a very high probability of loosing your anchor.
Yep. Lost my anchor today because I didn’t tighten the screw real tight.
But also use stainless steel locking wire to prevent them loosening 😊👍
Please do not use this method and fall asleep for any length of time
💯
when sleeping you just add a shackle in place of zip ties. Use your brain. YOu should also add a anchor alarrm
I am the guy that takes my broken line home, so i won't use plastic cable ties to add to sea floor.
but you just added how many feet of rope in the ocean floor? Don't use tie straps use bailing wire/ stainless wire
however i bring anchor rope home. bail wire light grade just might, will give it a go.@@ultimatejay
Good deal
Do not, I repeat DO NOT, use this method for anchoring overnight in any kind of wind or if your safety is at stake.
I did, the tie straps broke, and my sailboat drifted into the shore while I was sleeping overnight on a lake. The conditions were not harsh… just a light steady breeze.
But, hey … I guess I did not lose my anchor.
I have stated multiple times it's not for overnight anchoring. It's a fishing setup. Wow
All of the virtue signalers who condemned the tie wraps remind me of my teachers when I was in grammar school. "If you are visiting the Grand Canyon do not throw rocks in or it will eventually fill up!" Do you remember that? It must have worked because the Grand Canyon is still there. I am so sick of this green crap, I could puke!
😂😂
It's called plastic pollution!
Yep have changed to string. Need to update the video
Great, more plastic in the water......
Thanks for watching!
You attach the chain to the end of the anchor homer! Not by the blades! Hey ma, watch this.......Try an anchor ball nimrod! Zip ties are NOT reliable!
Funny guy! Anchor ball will not pull your anchor from the rocks…. Thanks for watching and please do your research before calling someone names. It’s not a good look.
@@JackedUpFishing wrong anchor to use around rocks. Do your research.
I'm pretty sure his face is all f***** up from all the contaminated fish he's been eating
🤣 thanks for watching!
Ridiculous. An anchor is meant to hold u safe. One good puff of wind or slam of wave, and your cable ties will snap, your anchor becomes useless scrap metal, and your boat may be wrecked on the shoreline behind u.
If u want an anchor retrieval system - put the shackle on as shown, then tie a sturdy rope to it, with a buoy on the end. Drop anchor, anchor bites, and buoy and rope (with anchor) can be heaved up if required. NEVER use the method shown in this video - it absolutely ruins the entire purpose of an anchor - which is to HOLD against whatever force comes.
Cmon Man lets get real. Ive been fishing for over 30 years and learned from the best. Its not an overnight anchor as I said. Just if you are fishing near structure. Don,t over think it!
@@JackedUpFishing For the sort of thing u describe, u don't need an anchor. U need a weight. Lump of concrete with an eye bolt thro it. It will hold u steady in calm waters, and won't bury or need tripping.
@@gordonbennet1094 yep but the Atlantic Ocean is far from calm. Trust me this works and is used here by all of the top charter captains and fisherman.
What if the anchor lands with the release chain facing down? That would potentially interfere with the flukes extending into the bottom. Plus the zip ties could come off as the boat swings.
It works! We don’t use zip ties any more we use a piece of string now
Anchoring is not just a convenience thing, it's also a safety thing. For instance, anchoring can keep you from smashing against the rocks or being pulled out to sea if you run out of gas or have another engine problem.
This is incredibly irresponsible advice from someone who doesn't know anything about boating. Please do not do this. Please do not rely on zip ties to deal with all of the strain of the wind and the waves and the current pulling and jerking your boat away from the anchor.
I mean, of course, unless you don't care about your boat or the safety of your passengers.
Thanks for watching. Please move along Karen
@JackedUpFishing funny. Incompetent and dangerous, but funny. :)
