SeaSense Hollow Braid Anchor Line Polypropylene

This is a pretty good, low priced anchor line. I purchased the 1/4" x 50' line last season, and it has held up fine since then. This is a long anchor line (50 feet) which is a good thing, because it is better to have too much anchor line than to have too little. The carabiner type clip on the anchor line is convenient for quickly and securely attaching the line to an anchor. I have been using this line with "Fluke Galvanized Anchor, 8-Pound," and it has worked fine, thus far. I probably wouldn't use it with an anchor heavier than 10 lbs, however. This anchor line isn't meant to last forever, as it's price reflects. If you want an extremely durable anchor line, I would look elsewhere, however, if you are looking for some decent anchor line that will hold a small (<18 foot) boat in place for a season or two, this anchor line might be worth your while. All in all, I would recommend this to anyone who is in the market for some cheap anchor line that does it's job.

Great lengh of rope, well made, its the kind of rope that is stiff and holds its shape out of the package for weeks after you get it, the carabiner at the end is very well attached and not moving or going anywhere. The package that the rope comes in has the rope "rolled up" in a fashion similar to if you roll a piece of rope around your arm only perfectly rope to rope left to right. This didn't seem like an issue, until I opened the package and threw the rope out to unroll it. Each loop has to be undone in reverse or you will as I did, have a huge gobular mess of rope to deal with. Think of it like this the old corded phones coiled lines would get tangled up the best way to untangle them was to pull the cables appart as best you could hang the phone down and let it unwind intself, this is kind of the same deal. Also the rope is small in diameter which makes it hard on your hands to handle when raising and lowering, in my case, a 12lb anchor. Just something to keep in mind before you buy.

Can’t say bad things about it because it was really cheap price wise. Has been working fine in the salty water but I don’t know how long will last. In the picture the rope looks thick and soft but in reality is much thinner and very stiff ( may change with use). For the price cannot be beat

Over a year ago, I joined a boat club knowing absolutely nothing about boats. I figured it would be a good past time since my family moved out to area with a large lake and I didn't want to invest a huge amount into something I knew nothing about. Over my many boating experiences since then, I've learned a lot about boating. I also learned about what I like and didn't like. Of those dislikes, I've learned that I *HATE* mushroom anchors. I suppose it's because they are cheap is the reason the boat club uses them for all their boats. I've read about them too... they do have a purpose but given the lake where I spend my time, they do absolutely nothing to keep the boat from drifting away. So with that said, I read a bit about anchors from Boating magazine and how to construct your own anchor rode. Following those instructions, I created my own anchor rode which I tote around every time I go boating. There are 3 components to an anchor rode, the rope, the chain, the anchor. The guidelines of the according to Boating magazine is: "When building an anchoring system, keep in mind that prudent seamanship demands a scope of 7:1 for holding in the worst conditions. This means that for every foot of water you’ll be anchoring in, seven feet of rode is generally required, plus the height of the bow cleat above the water. Anchoring in 60 feet? You’ll need about 455 feet of rode on most craft to hold through the worst. A general rule of thumb is to use one-eighth-inch-diameter rope for every nine feet of boat length. Running a 36-footer? You’ll need a half-inch-diameter rope." Based on these guidelines, I constructed my rode exactly to their specifications. This particular rope fit exactly what I needed. Since then, my boat has never once drifted. Although this is just one component of the anchor rode, I assume because I made it correctly is the reason this works. The rope has yet to fray at all and is still in great condition. Would recommend.

Good quality

This rope was cheap and so to me it looks cheap quality. Would I expect any better for $3.15 ? no. If you need it for light house stuff around the yard this is ok. If you need to tie something important, get a better quality. I'll keep it but the thing I did not like is the weaving starts opening up every time you bend it to tie up something.

We have bought this line to use for our second anchor on the boat. It's light, dries fast and does what it suppose to do. Good quality too.

So far so good. Was good a deal on sale.
