This means more holding power from smaller and lighter anchors. Dimensions (L x W x H) 405 x 175 x 165mm HOW & WHY COOPER ANCHORS WORK The holding power of any anchor is directly related to how deeply it sets and holds the sea bed. Most anchors on the market today are restricted by design to plowing along near the surface of the sea bed and rarely, if ever disappear completely below the sea bed. Cooper Anchors very simple design with its weighted tip, straight streamline shank and small blade are designed to completely disappear below the sea bed and stay there even through wind and tide changes. The small area between the shank and the tip, (See picture above) allow Cooper Anchors to change direction with less effort, especially during anchor retrieval. As the boat is pulled forward, over and above the anchor, the anchor rotates with the vertical pull and is retrieved with the same effort, or less than was used in its setting. Protecting our reefs. To protect our reef and reduce the risk of becoming permanently hooked up, simply move the shackle to the hole in the base of the shank, and use a cable tie through the top hole and chain. If the anchor does become stuck, the cable tie breaks and the anchor releases backwards without damaging the reef. When anchoring in anything other than reef The Main hole should be used

I use this for my FishPro. It works perfectly on sandy or muddy bottoms. It digs right in quickly and doesn't slip. I like that I can toss it into my storage without beating up the inside of my ski with a heavy metal rig.

I got this as was fed up of losing sand bag anchors. It's taken a while getting used to it. Had to buy some galvanised chain and stainless shackles as the rope wasn't doing anything weight wise. (My own silly fault). Seems to work well better in sand although I have had it in the rocks but was very nervous about leaving it too long in case the jetksi started to float away. Used for 2 seasons now in Margate sunny seas. Happy with the purchase. 👌

'22 Sea Doo Fish Pro, light and gets pushed by wind pretty easily. Had a folding 4 claw (cheap, works if you have roots or something to catch on), but it always drifted. Lake bottoms here are soft, and the Cooper anchor digs in well enough to hold on in 15mph winds no problem! Just make sure you have enough line to properly angle the anchor and it digs like a champ. Very impressed, and also I thought there was metal inside or something... Nope! All nylon/plastic and still very durable. I won't buy anything else unless it's some kind of emergency.

lightweight, good material. however, the hole at the end if terrible to find a connector for a chain. It is so small, combined with the width of the plastic.

Je n’ai pas essayé encore, mais si je compare une ancre ronde et celle si je crois que j’ai fait un bon choix… sais très léger mais comme le video le démontre elle devrais mordre 10 fois comme une ronde…

I have a 22 Sea Doo Fish Pro Trophy which has an anchor system from the factory. It works fine in calm, shallow areas with bottom structure. I was yesterday in 10+mph wind and the factory anchor just wouldnt hold whatsoever. After 3 attempts in a single spot i remembered i had this anchor in the storage compartment, did a quick swap, threw it out and within about 5 feet of where i threw it it grabbed and was rock solid. Tried it in a few other spots and the same result. Its nylon so it wont get any nasty rust and it wont beat up your storage compartment. I'm tossing the other anchor...if you fish intercoastal/coastal or just anywhere that isnt a pristine lake with zero wind and want something that works...this is it. Stop looking and buy it.

You would be crazy not to buy an anchor from Coopers Anchors. Their customer service is the best I have encountered from anyone I have ever dealt with . They have scored a customer for life.

We do a lot of boating on lake Michigan. Have not had much success with anchoring wave runners in sand due to winds & waves. This past week end we tried theCOOPER ANCHOR 1Kg/2.2lb Anchor. We bought the 5/16 Inch chain 5 feet long. Also the nylon rope with buoy. The lake was 2 foot to 4 foot swells on main lake. Winds were around 10 to 14 Knots. We puled into a bay . Dropped Anchor Chain & rope. We had two wave runners we were driving. After sitting with two close friends for two Hrs & had to Head back to car 15 Miles South . It did not look as if either wave runner had moved . I could not pull Anchor off bottom until I stood over top of theCOOPER ANCHOR & pulled straight up. The Anchor dug deep into sand & was not going to move. This is the BEST Anchor I have ever owned. With winds & waves this Anchor did not move. I will be looking to see if they design a Anchor for my 25 foot boat. Doug L

I have owned a PWC for 12 years and have tried every anchoring system that I could find. I was at an airshow where there were a lot of boats and PWCs. The water was choppy from boat chop and wind. I normally use sand bags, and on this day I had to keep re-positioning the sand bags to keep from drifting. I saw a guy on a PWC just throw out an anchor and walk away. His PWC never moved from where he anchored it, and this was for several hours. I managed to find the guy and he showed me what he was using, and it was the Cooper Anchor. I ordered it and have been using it every since. You literally just throw it out and it holds right where you throw it. I added a 4 foot marine grade chain and a 4 foot bungee line. It works great!

This is the best anchor for my seadoo. Light, does not destroy the interior of the seadoo. In 25 years of having a seadoo this is my best anchor. But not good in rocks but mud and sand it's awesome.

Bought for my 2019 Yamaha Waverunner VXR. Haven't had a chance to use it in deep water or any significant swell yet, but it's definitely an interesting concept. I was looking for a lightweight anchor that wouldn't beat the tar out of my front storage compartment, and didn't take up a lot of room. This fit the bill, and a quick Google search revealed that people all over the world swear by these Cooper Anchors. The one thing I will say from my preliminary tests done on the shore of our backyard pond is to mind the instructions about how much chain VS rope VS water depth you are using. This is known as "scope", and it's a concept that mariners have used for hundreds if not thousands of years when anchoring. I found the best results for my application to be a section of nylon rope approximately 4-6 feet long directly attached to the anchor, followed by a section of chain approximately 4 feet long, and then more rope from the other end of the chain up to the watercraft. At the surface end of the anchor line, I used an 8-inch plastic bouy (found here on Amazon for a few bucks), and a galvanized quick-release carabiner (also found here on Amazon) to attach to the front eyelet in the hull of the Waverunner. That way if I accidentally drop the end of the anchor line, it doesn't sink to the bottom of the Chesapeake Bay with my anchor, chain, and line going with it. Finally, I found a cheap fabric style "Drawstring gym backpack" (again, Amazon) that perfectly fits the anchor, chain, and 60 feet of nylon line to keep it all organized in the bilge until I need it. As novel of a concept as the Cooper Anchor is, it does rely more on physics than brawn and sheer weight to accomplish it's staying power. With that said, I would have no doubts trusting it on a calm day in nominal conditions - i.e. with the anchor on the beach and the watercraft a few feet offshore. Would I trust it mooring in 40 feet of open water with a heavy current or huge tidal swing? Probably not. At just 1kg (a little more than 2lbs), it really does rely on you to have the anchor and line setup for *absolute* optimal scope given the water depth you're anchoring in. And for that reason, I wouldn't count on it the way I would a heavier traditional anchor. But who knows, maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised the more I use and come to trust it.
