Are you going to use it on a lake or on moving water?
If it's moving water PLEASE consider using anything but a claw style anchor. If it catches in fast moving water it's a serious safety threat.
I make these with the leftover concrete after I complete a job. You could do the same thing with a coffee can and some quickcrete. If you were closer, I'd give you one.
Thanks for the tip, I went and bought a 5 lb weight, flat barbell plate type, gonna try that out. Also have to figure out how to attach to the yak, I really don't want to hook up a trolley type system tho
Here's an old video of some accessories.
Around the 2:20 mark is my rap on anchors.
I'm not a fan of the zig-zag tie offs...again if you're anchoring in moving water. I show my alternative to a clam cleat style tie off. The idea is that if you NEED to, you can quickly and easily disengage your entire boat from the anchor...which could become very important in moving water if you're snagged.
