Product Description
The Yak Gear 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 into the point where it has displaced its own weight in 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.

And because of its small size it doesn’t hit against the kayak when it’s in the raised position. It works on any type of bottom, I’ve used it in sand, rock and muddy conditions.
The vinyl coating is also great because it doesn’t scratch my kayak. Great price too.

One top tip in strong winds is to tie on several boat lengths of line and let it pay out. This lets the anchor drag horizontally in the mud and provides a significant amount of holding power. Keeps my Kaboat rock steady in all but the worst blows.
I knocked it down a star because the paint is peeling off. Does not affect the performance of the anchor.
