The concept of this little anchor is great, and off the top I must say that the anchor flukes are more than capable of digging into waterway bottoms. They are sharp, slightly scooped, and surprisingly dense, which means they should dig deep! That said, the overall weight of this anchor is a little underwhelming. While I know the flukes will dig in deep enough, I'm not confident the anchor weight will be enough to stop drag in currents or when a moderate wind kicks up. 3.5 pounds just doesn't seem enough to offset the elements and keep kayak in place, which means this anchor is best suited for calm conditions exclusively from my lens. Vevor products consistently provide a good value for the quality of items they produce. This anchor is now exception. I expect the anchor to last for years to come... but I just wish it had a little more heft to make it suitable for use in a variety of weather conditions. Given that, it receives a 4/5 star rating, overall!
