Okay I have many anchors and now two of mantus. I dont normally write reviews, but I had to this time, they perform above my expectations in every way. They set in about 2-3 feet fully in any ground. Great work mantus and great customer service too.
Bogus. Look at and pause at 0:22 - 0:23. The Mantus anchor rhode is shorter than the others. This would normally be a disadvantage, however as soon as it sets, the driver speeds up so the other anchors can't set well. I've used several types of "plow" over the years including the Mantus. It's a good anchor, however it's not any better than a Rocna (and it's a knock-off of the Rocna). I have a slight prefereance for the Rocna, because A) They don't post bogus videos and B) They have an attachment point for a secondary anchor
You should test them with plenty of chain dragging in the sand. Just like it would be in a boating scenario. Not behind a truck with the chain raising up towards the truck. This is a poor example if this is coming from the manufacture of Mantus.
ABSOLUTELY!!!!! This test is a joke. It’s embarrassing. Every mariner puts enough chain out so the direction of tensile force is horizontal. These clowns are testing with short chain lengths which have an angle of tensile force almost 45 degrees!!!!!! I was all set to research this anchor but won’t spend another minute. How could this be better than SARCA or ROCNA if this is how they test???????
The angle of the chain is so low that it actually does a pretty good job at mimicking real world conditions using long lengths of chain. If the bumper was twenty feet off the ground then yes a long length of chain would be mandatory. There isn’t much wrong with the test in that regard.
It is better to test anchors by pushing them to their limits e.g. using short lengths of chain. Many people use very short scope, 3 to 1 or less, in cramped anchorages, for example.
@@MrAthlon4800 well not that short though! it isn’t a realistic scenario. anchors set in much slower than show above and with a different chain angle.
Compared with a normal situation this is not a good test imho. The chain is pulling the shaft up as in normla situations the weight of the chain keeps the shaft on the seabed. Thus helping the anchor to dig in. Now the chain is preventing the anchor to hold.
Why @1:00 min is the manson chain shorter than mantus Its seem like they both did the job just the same once the bar that you had the chains to evened out... and the truck pulled them both down evenly...
These Mantis anchors are actually better than this vid shows. Try pulling one with 7 to 1 road,lol... My only regret is i had gotten the Mantis before buy my 36 Rocna. Both are awesome but mantis holds better and looks sweet hanging on a Bow

So you would rather buy an anchor that only works good under perfect conditions??? Remember this video when you're in a tight anchorage where 3 or 4 to 1 is all you can use and you bought one that lost this comparison.

I will remember this the next time I need to anchor a pickup truck with ten feet of chain.
🤣
A video by Mantus comparing other brands. I wonder who wins....
Bogus.

Watch and pause; the line length on the Mantus is slightly shorter, so it sets before the others......
a shorter line if true would negatively effect the behavior of an anchor
You tell them Mantus. I just got the 8# Mantus and love it. Great product.

A Slo I thought exactly the same. Not an accurate test at all

I love my Mantus, just wish it didn't rust so fast. Now it looks unsightly on my beautiful bow!

Mantis was being pulled before the others. Really ? you couldnt measure the rodes and make them equal?

They both looked good. Of course, if you keep pulling something will give. Manson set quicker.
Mantus seems to be making some fair anchors!
Why do trucks need anchors?
Ananchor that is bolted instead of welded? Not 4 me.
I want to see the truck!
Is XYZ been tested
Im sure they are good but......I'm staying with my Spade
Let's see a Mantus Vs. Quickline video.
Def not a scientific test. Would have been better to see how many pounds of force it takes to set each.
Chains must be flat on the ground
Where are mantus anchors made?
New Zealand
That looked like a pretty fair test

impressive.
mantus is looking good
imagine that
im very happy with my rocna.
Poor example.. not near enough scope... the truck is pulling upward @ 30 deg UNLIKE a boat with good scope (at least 5 to 1) would... Booo.
What a bullshit test smh. Not even using the same length of chain in some tests.!!
bs

Well they have just unsold me one of their anchors with this bullshit video , one word SCOPE at least 5to 1.

È una cazzata...uno che naviga sa come devono lavorare le anche ..
Now that seems to take all question out of "tricks".
Lose the annoying music.
If it's made in China give it a wide birth if you value your boat.
