• YOU DROP ANCHOR AND THE CURRENT DRAGS YOU OFF YOUR SPOT: Standard mushroom anchors sit on mud and slide. This hybrid combines mushroom suction with flukes that dig into mud, rocks, and debris so you hold position instead of drifting downstream.
• VINYL COATED SO IT WILL NOT SCRATCH YOUR BOAT: Bare cast iron gouges gelcoat and fiberglass every time you haul it in. Fully vinyl coated to protect your hull, deck, and gunwales. The coating also seals the iron against rust and corrosion.
• HEAVY DUTY CAST IRON WITH GALVANIZED BOW SHACKLE: Solid cast iron holds bottom in current where lightweight anchors get dragged. The included galvanized dipped bow shackle connects to your anchor line or chain without extra hardware.
• SMOOTH SHANK SLIDES INTO YOUR ANCHOR ROLLER: Drops right into standard bow rollers and anchor guides for clean deployment and retrieval. Use a 5 to 1 line to depth ratio for best hold. Works with anchor rope, chain, or a combination of both.
• IDEAL FOR KAYAKS, CANOES, DINGHIES, AND JET SKIS: The 8 lb is right for small craft in calm to moderate conditions. Also available in 12, 20, and 30 lb. Select your weight above. Better Boat is a family owned American company in Miami Beach, Florida.

You anchor up on a good fishing spot in a river and ten minutes later you are fifty yards downstream. The anchor is dragging across the bottom because a standard mushroom anchor relies on weight alone to hold, and on a muddy river bottom that is not enough once the current picks up. The Better Boat River Anchor uses a hybrid mushroom and fluke design. The mushroom base creates suction in soft mud while the flukes dig into rocks, gravel, and debris to hold position in current. It is not just sitting on the bottom and hoping weight is enough. The flukes give it actual bite. This 20 lb anchor is sized for boats up to 24 feet including center consoles, deck boats, pontoons, and bass boats. Use a 5 to 1 line to depth ratio for best hold. In 10 feet of water you want at least 50 feet of line out. The smooth shank drops into standard bow rollers and anchor guides for clean deployment and retrieval. The entire anchor is vinyl coated over heavy duty cast iron. Bare metal anchors gouge gelcoat and scratch fiberglass every time you haul them over the gunwale or set them on deck. The vinyl coating protects every surface on your boat from contact damage and seals the iron underneath against rust and corrosion. Easy to rinse clean after use. Includes a galvanized dipped bow shackle that connects directly to your anchor line or chain. Also available in 8 lb for kayaks and canoes, 12 lb for boats up to 15 feet, and 30 lb for pontoons and boats up to 26 feet. Select your weight above.
