wreck anchors homemade easy project
Im back to making wreck anchors again. They are made from 1/2 round stock. I can make it 3/8 or 3/4 round stock if you prefer for a bigger or smaller vessel. The stem length on these anchors is 18 inches but I can make them a little longer if preferred also. Spread the word around fellas.

No problem Blue, I'm thinking of switching over to re-bar instead of round stock. These anchors are 2 part primed and painted. I use to cold galvanized them But the finish didn't hold up as long.

The only way to avoid losing a reef anchor is to never use it.

I've lost probally 20 in my life!!! So I started making them like 3 years ago. They became kinda popular here locally for a while. I will take a pic of the one on the albemarle. I run 8
foot of chain and 8 foot of garden hose above the chain for chaffing purposes. I've broke off many anchors because the anchor rope was cut above the chain because wear on the wreck so I started using garden hose for a sleeve. Last edited by Kracker Jack; 11-07-2012 at 03:44 PM. Reason: 8 foot not a foot...lol!!

I know losing anchors is part of fishing. But I had that wreck anchor for 8 years. Probably hooked over 800 times with it. But it only takes one incompetent person to let slack in the line and let it get wound up in the prop.
