Holds my small boat in wind and current
Installed on a Tahoe T-18 and it keeps the boat secure in both current and windy conditions. Strongly recommend for similar-sized boats.

Best sand anchor I've used for jet skis
I run into mostly sand bottoms in SW Florida and tested many anchors before this. Paired with the bungee it has held through waves and swell without letting go. I also have the spike version but that one can pull out if the bungee gets too tight, so I use it just to steady the stern. Never had a failure even when two skis are tied together. Buy the bungee — it soaks up wave energy, and you can splice a regular rope to it to set the anchor farther out or use a short throw line in shallows.

Smart design and tidy storage
Nice purchase — the anchor itself is dependable and the included carry case tucks away easily in the hull. No exposed blades to scratch the boat and the rope fits inside the box for organized storage.

Good quality; chain recommended
Quality item overall. For heavier boats or rougher conditions, buy with some chain for extra scope and holding power.

Locks down in strong current
I was skeptical at first but this anchor really holds. Using a 19' Ranger on a fast river, it locked the boat in place and the bungee softened the jerks from current. Excellent performance in windy conditions — highly recommend.

Compact, protective and effective
Works surprisingly well for such a compact unit. The storage case keeps the anchor from damaging the boat and protects the gear when stowed.

Anchor performs; case could be sturdier
Anchor is easy to set and held as expected. The supplied case, however, is thin plastic and cracked soon after first use in my PWC. Seller has been responsive about replacing it, but the replacement process wasn’t straightforward. Still, the anchor itself impressed me.

Sets reliably and stores compactly
I’ve had this kit about four months on my WaveRunner. It comes with a compact case and the bungee, which fits neatly in bow storage. The anchor digs in and stays set. Pulling it up from greater depth with the bungee attached can be a workout, but overall I’m happy and would purchase again. Planning to gift a couple to friends.

Consider adding chain in tougher conditions
We run a 23' Bennington and quickly found that adding chain helped in stronger tides and winds. With chain added it performs very well; without it, scope can be an issue in heavy movement.
