Be sure to read and measure to ensure you are ordering the correct size. I purchased the 1 1/2 lbs size, and it is too small for a kayak in 5 knots of wind. Also, the grapples tend to fold under rather than deploy outward. This occurs even when the ring collar is rotated to hold the grapples out.

I'm a fan of this type anchor because it folds up for stowing and allows me to pull it out backwards if it is rigged properly and gets stuck. I have two of these that I have been using, both 3 pounders and they worked okay with my boat but were sometimes hard to set. I went with the heavier 9 pound anchor for the bow anchor and it sets much easier. I rig the rhode to the bottom of the anchor with a clevis and leaving some slack in the chain, zip tie it to the top of the anchor.
