5lb Mushroom Anchor
The YakGear 5-pound Mushroom Anchor is perfect for anchoring kayaks, canoes, stand-up paddleboards, and even jon boats in muddy, sandy, or weeded bottoms. The high-level holding strength provides additional security with a wide-area mushroom cap with drains in the base.
Shaped like an inverted mushroom, the head becomes buried in the soft seabed and will normally sink to the point where it has displaced its own weight in the seabed material. Its one-piece cast iron construction combined with a tough vinyl coating ensures long-lasting, dependable use. The anchor is very popular for fishermen and race buoys.
