Anti-Snag Anchoring and Anchor Trip Systems for Kayak Fishing

- Tired of losing snagged anchors? This video looks at the different methods to set up Anti-Snag Anchoring Systems for kayaks using a variety of Anchor Trips to give you a chance of retrieving a stuck anchor. Whilst aimed at kayak anchoring, the same principles can be used for boats too.
I look specifically at a Weak-Link Anchor Trip, an Anchor Trip Link and an Anchor Bridle and show how to set up each on both a Folding Grapnel Anchor and a Bruce / Claw Anchor in conjunction with anchor chain.
More information on kayak anchoring can be found on my website here: www.kayakfishing.blog/blog/a-...

the zip tie method is so freaking genius!
Thanks for this video mate 👍
Liam, all fantastic information, very helpful. Only improvement would be to bet a better mic.
Excellent video mate! Have experienced anchor jam twice now and without your methods I would be on my 3rd anchor by now. Well done, really informative ;-)
Thanks Andrew, hopefully less lost anchors now!
Nice! While the zip ties work well, I don't want to litter plastics which is already a big enough problem for our environment. Nice information!
I thought there were only 2 methods, then you showed the last one! Genius!

you could always use a second zip tie to the zip tie that is the weak link so that when you retrieve the anchor you will have all your plastics.
Man, I just bought the Anchor Trip Link, and mine does not operate as easily as you demonstrated! Did you have to do any modifications? The slide does not slide easily and without pliers
Hi, Liam, could you tell me what size Bow Shackles you use and what Knots do you recommend for the trolley and for the bungee loop?
Just been talking to your workmate Andrew who is going to rig my new Viking Profish Reload. Does he have a TH-cam channel?
Been Kayak fishing for 7 years but still learnt a few things from your videos, really informative. Keep them coming and let's have some more fishing videos from you post Lockdown
Cheers

Hi Graeme, I believe the Bow Shackles are a 5mm or 6mm shackle - the ones advertised on the Cornwall Canoes website are the perfect size. As you know there is a video for the anchor trolley knot. The knot used for the bungee is just a simple overhand knot on the doubled up bungee - this sits inside the parrel bead to stop against the pad eye. Great to hear you have opted for a ProFish Reload - awesome kayaks! Andrew will put you straight with the rigging although he doesn’t have a TH-cam channel. I’m glad you are finding my videos useful. Tight lines! Liam
Never ever follow such "concepts" when you plan to plan to leave the boat even for a short swim or if you want to sleep! Even a 40kg kayak can have bigger forces in a swell than that guy could ever bring up. A dinghy would break free easily in the worst possible moment!
This guide is aimed at kayak fishing as mentioned in the title. In almost all scenarios the user would be sat on the kayak. The only exception would be for spearfishers using the kayak as a fixed platform to free dive or snorkel from. The chain helps soak up some of the rise and fall motion of choppy waves / swell and providing plenty of anchor line is let out to provide a shallower angle between the line and seabed, this anchor set up will hold fine even in messy conditions without tripping. You can pull as hard as you like against that anchor and the trip link will not break (providing it is set up correctly as shown) until you change the angle of attack by going uptide / upcurrent. The same principles are used for larger boats, just with heavier anchors, longer lengths of heavier gauge chain, thicker anchor rope and heavier duty trip links. A tried and tested method of anchoring a craft and setting up an anti snag system. But I agree with your sentiment that you should never leave an anchored vessel unattended if only temporarily anchoring using a set-up or similar to what is shown in the video.
