A bigger and heavier anchor is always better. How may times have you dropped your anchor and not been able to end up where you wanted to be? When the current is running and/or the wind is blowing, most anchors aren’t heavy enough to hook up. They drag across the bottom skimming the surface on hard sand or dragging through grass and loading up with grass, making it virtually impossible to dig in the bottom.
This causes you to have to pull the anchor up, shake off the grass and start over. Another problem is the anchor getting caught up under a hard snag and now you are unable to retrieve it.
The Hunter anchor has a design that can solve all of these problems. Our unique design allows you to anchor in most any and all conditions. It can be retrieved every time, with a clean recovery. No grass or mud will end up in your boat.
The Hunter anchor, when properly used can be pulled out from most any obstacles. All that is necessary is to pull in the rope until you are directly over the anchor, let out just a little slack and drive the boat just past the anchor. This allows the shank slide to move down the anchor shank and reverse the direction of pull, which allows the anchor to be removed in a backwards position. This not only frees up the anchor but most likely cleaning it of grass or debris prior to pulling it aboard your vessel.
Additionally, our unique design sets the anchor quickly in all types of bottoms and is environmentally friendly. Because the Hunter anchor sets so quickly, it disturbs less bottom and when properly used come out backwards, sliding out of its hold position.
With the normal style anchor, if you become lodged in the rocks and the anchor is not retrievable, you must either cut the anchor rope or pull it out with the boat using the power of the motor. This last scenario generally caused a great deal of damage to the anchor or the rope would break and the anchor would be lost. This will not happen with the Hunter anchor.
The solution to these anchoring problems is finally here, Hunter Anchors!
