Beats the old zip-tie method . Great for wreck and rock fishing :

Not bad.

I have one of those wreck anchors with the prongs that bend, I still need to see if it works.

Where do you get that type of release
I've never seen that before:yes:

 

[goinsfishin]

Thats cool, but havn't people been doing the same basic thing for years with a thick zip-tie?

 

[MIKE BURGESS]

Didn't you read my post ? Better than the zip-tie method and reusable . The link to buy them is right next to the video box . As much as I fish around rocky structure , that thing will do wonders for me . I got stuck on the south jetty in OC last year . I tied off to the stern cleat and proceeded to pull with the motor . I wasn't very deep and when the anchor finally popped free , it rebounded back at the boat so fast that the chain hit the prop:eek2: , damaging it pretty good . It was a wonder the darn thing didn't come in the boat and decapitate me . I've heard plenty of similar stories that didn't end so well .:yes:

I think that we are missing something here. There is no post that I can see. Without the post , goinsfishin question sounds right to me, same as a zip tie.

Hey Granpa , here's your post :

Is it "reusable" or do you have to purchase those pins? Looks like the smallest one is $59 plus $9 for a 3 pack of "pins". If you have to replace one of those $3 pins each time it looks like it could get quite a bit more expensive then Zip-ties.

 

[Captain Bill Welder]

It looks cool but if I read the website correctly you need to install a new release pin everytime the release trips?? A release pin is $3 Then you leave nylon trash on the bottom? Also the thing is pre set to break at a certain poundage. What if conditions changed and you needed the poundage increased to hold bottom in heavy current or rough seas? Answer: Buy bigger release pins?
Looks like a great deal for the company making and selling release pins? Am I missing something here?

Not sure what could be eaiser or cheaper than an 18" length to 100# mono wrapped 2 or 3 times then again to the chain so not leaving any trash in the water.

Thats how I rig My Kayak Achor ,, and it really works

My apologies.....I focused on the video and missed the first line....oops.
Don't know about replacing those pins though.....just more stuff to keep track of on the boat.......I know my zip-ties are in my emergency tool kit.......always.
