YakAttack Sidewinder Anchor Line Reel with 75' 550 Paracord | Includes Track Mount Hardware | Kayak Anchor Management System | Made in USA

The hardware works perfectly in the Old Town track but the unit does not clear with anchor line installed.You could probably make some spacers for underneath of it but the strength of the unit would be compromised and I did not want to do so.The product appears well built and I would have gladly kept it if it had installed as intended.

Such a simple design, but excellent solution to managing your anchor line in a kayak. Yes, you could make something similar yourself (there are numerous YouTube videos for how to make one out of a cutting board), but this isn't that expensive, it's already done, and it's a proven product. It's really easy to setup.Unlike what most people show in their YouTube videos, if you're using an anchor trolley, do NOT attach your anchor line directly to the anchor trolley ring. You're supposed to pass your anchor line THROUGH the anchor trolley ring and then attach it the line to a line cleat, etc. -- something that's within arm's reach of where you're sitting so you can perform a quick-release of the anchor if necessary. You attach your anchor line directly to your anchor trolley ring and you have your anchor trolley positioned at the bow/stern of the kayak, how are you going to quickly release it if you need to? Bingo.

Easy to mount. I mainly use it for storage of the anchor rope. On the water I undo the rope and fish. Its lets me use my anchor trollyWhen I am done fishing I use it to get the rope out of the wayI use a cart to get to my 2 fishing ponds, so after fishing my kyak is neat and ready for the next trip.

Purchased for my gear trak on my nucanoe pursuit. Doesn't fit well due to the location of the tracks on my kayak. It still is built well and comes on and off well. Works well for me on a clip.Would recommend for kayaks with gear tracks more on the side of the boat.

I was nerve wrecking at first when the bolts was little to short to clip on. Just make sure the cleat is pressed on; it should flush right in. The plastic is stud, and they even provide you some ropes! I’m impressed with my 2022 Hobie Compass Duo. ☺️

Yak attack has never disappointed with their products..

This is my second one of these items. The first one I lost when an anchor snagged and the wind snapped the rivets off my kayak. They're certainly cheaper ways to get this task accomplished but there's probably not one that's much better. If you're on a budget and don't want to spend the money for this piece of plastic by all means make one at home. But if you're like me and you don't have the time and want your gear to look all slick and professional LOL this is a good way to go.

Goes on easy. Will be easier than wading the rope up like I was doing
