I have loved that knot ever since I accidentally discovered it a few years ago, I have a few of them in use to important stuff I have less in my pockets such as keys, phone . Holds much better on slippery cord such as nylon paracord than a lot of knots I tried, even with just one loop for short term non- critical uses. It is a bit harder to untie than many knots. Great tip of welding the end onto the cord, thanks. Love your anchor trolley system, especially with the added rings from your other video.
Thx for all the great videos, top notch stuff and some of the best walkthroughs in detail I've come across. Only problem I've ever had was low audio volume but that's not hard to work around with some headphones. Keep up the great work and be well.
Similar to some fishing fishing knots I use like the uni and Albright except with less wraps. This knot works perfect with paracord, thank you! ❤️🛶for sharing.
Thanks! I’m enjoying your videos. I just purchased an anchor trolley anchor and rod holders and plan to install them on a Feelfree Corona I recently purchased for next season. Cheers!
@@CornishKayakAngler Hi, i checked the cord routing from the pulleys that are 6-8 inches from the bow and stern and notice the upper and lower cords pop up over the kayak's top rail. I placed the pulleys about 1-1/2 inches under the top rail so when applying tension to the cord with a piece of bungee as you suggested, the cord rides up and jumps over the rail. I wanted to keep it high above the waterline. Would you suggest pad eyes to route the upper cord and removing the tension so the lower cord would drape down or is there another type of hardware that would work better or only having one fastener that's a better choice? Thanks for the help.
Im in the process of doing a no drill Anchor Trolley myself. Im going to use the Scaffold knots but Im going to use a small stainless turn buckle up the front so I can adjust the tension at all times on the line.
Usually you would just install on one side of the kayak, but some like to have it on both sides. I don’t see the need personally although some people like to deploy a small drogue off the bow whilst at anchor to help them sit straight in the tide, particularly if it’s windy. In this instance the drogue could be deployed on one anchor trolley and the anchor set with the other.
If you are in the UK then they can be found on the Cornwall Canoes website. If elsewhere then try a marine store or sometimes camping/outdoors stores sell them.
Your tying method is without 2 rings and 2 buffer beads. Can you show how to tie knots to rings and beads? Also, your bow bead (attached to bungee cord) is larger than the orhers? If so, what size (small hole) is it? Thanks again!
The same knot can be used to tie the cord to the rings. The bead used on the bow has an approx 8mm hole for the bungee cord to pass through. It is a squeeze to get doubled up 5mm or 6mm through, but it is possible by first passing a piece of fishing line through the hole, tying this to the bungee and pulling it back through. Hopefully that makes sense!
There’s not a massive issue but I like the karabiner to be able to shuttle as far back as possible. Using a another karabiner to clip the pulley to the pad eye at the back allows it to get nice and close to the stern. The same can be achieved with a really short section of bungee to tie the pulley to the pad eye. I often see people with a foot of bungee at the back and that’s just not the most effective way to do it. Hope this helps!
Thanks Michael. I sourced them from Cornwall Canoes, not sure if you are based in the UK or not? If not then a marine chandelery store should have them.
only thing I would change is change the last slip knot the karabiner hooks into, change it to a conventional Loop Knot so that if you ever need to Emergency disconnect the Karabiner does not get Hung up trying to pass through the slip
Ok I see that someone else asked this, so now I wonder would there be any advantage to having 2 bungees? Actually what exactly is the advantage of having a bungee in the first place?
The bungee serves to add a buffer / shock absorber within the system. If it’s choppy on the water then the kayaks will be jolting about a bit and the bungee helps to reduce the jolting motion from disturbing the anchor and makes for a slightly more comfortable feel whilst at anchor. You can see it working when anchored up and it’s windy/choppy as the bungee visually stretches and relaxes. The reason for only having one bungee at the front is so that I can get the point of anchoring closer to the stern. You can put a small section at the stern too if you want, it won’t make a huge difference but I run with just bungee at the bow and it seems to all work great. The bungee also works to keep the anchor trolley line taut against the kayak so that it is not slack and loose. I have been using the set up on my fishing kayaks since 2013 😀 hope this info helps. Just ask away if you need anymore help.
Some users report it being quiet and others say it’s fine. I’m not sure if it’s UA-cam or the device it’s being listened on. It seems to only be on 4 or 5 videos from last year and the rest seem fine. Tried to contact UA-cam to see if there was a fix but not without deleting the video and starting again. The fix is turn the volume up 🤣
Your how-to videos are made super easy to understand. Thanks for another great video!
Thank you for making this video. Answers a lot of questions about setting up an anchor trolley.
Thanks for this, I just got my anchor trolley and this video was just what I needed.
Thanks Liam, hadn't replaced mine in ages and needed a refresher video!

Thanks for the feedback Vince. I’ll see if I can improve the audio levels for the next video!
Thanks mate this video was just what I needed when I was figuring out my trolley system 👍

Thanks Cary, glad you have found it useful 😃
Thank you. Your videos have been an invaluable resource to me. 👍
Thanks! Glad you have found them useful 😀
I might do this for the season and then figure out a retractable to screw to my crate for next season. This seems pretty simple and quick.
Love your videos they have helped alot to get me started on the water
Thanks Frankie, appreciate the comment and glad the videos have helped get you out there on the water 😀
love your videos dude super easy to understand
Thanks Kena, great to hear that you find the videos helpful 😊
Great video thank you for doing it very helpful.. tight lines
Thanks! I’m enjoying your videos. I just purchased an anchor trolley anchor and rod holders and plan to install them on a Feelfree Corona I recently purchased for next season. Cheers!
Thanks Joe! Hope the installs go well 😀

wow what a nice setup
Thanks Liam, just what I needed too.
That’s the knot I use and melt the ends. But I use a small zip tie to hold the stub tight and neat. Cheers

Nice! Good luck with the install 😎
Helpful, thanks.
Good Job! Very clear and very good instructions. thank you! Charlie
Thanks I was wondering what knot it was and how to tie it! lol.
Very good job!!! Great info!!
Brilliant Liam, just sent you a comment asking about this
Graeme
Perfect timing then Graeme! Hope you find it useful
@@CornishKayakAngler yes, tip top Liam
Thank you for the presentation. Do you thing it’s useful to install the anchor trolley both sides : port side and starboard side?
Usually you would just install on one side of the kayak, but some like to have it on both sides. I don’t see the need personally although some people like to deploy a small drogue off the bow whilst at anchor to help them sit straight in the tide, particularly if it’s windy.

Hi
I am struggling to find some parrel beads can I ask were you get yours from please ?
If you are in the UK then they can be found on the Cornwall Canoes website. If elsewhere then try a marine store or sometimes camping/outdoors stores sell them.
What knot do u use for the bungee loop
I use an Overhand Loop Knot for the bungee loop
that knot is call a fisher mens knot we use it in search and rescue and that was only 2 raps we do 4 makes a good strong knot!
Your tying method is without 2 rings and 2 buffer beads. Can you show how to tie knots to rings and beads? Also, your bow bead (attached to bungee cord) is larger than the orhers? If so, what size (small hole) is it? Thanks again!

It is a squeeze to get doubled up 5mm or 6mm through, but it is possible by first passing a piece of fishing line through the hole, tying this to the bungee and pulling it back through. Hopefully that makes sense!
what is the issue if you use a bungee at both ends of the trolley system?
There’s not a massive issue but I like the karabiner to be able to shuttle as far back as possible. Using a another karabiner to clip the pulley to the pad eye at the back allows it to get nice and close to the stern. The same can be achieved with a really short section of bungee to tie the pulley to the pad eye.

Hey nice work man. Where did you get them pulleys from thanks
Thanks Michael. I sourced them from Cornwall Canoes, not sure if you are based in the UK or not? If not then a marine chandelery store should have them.
only thing I would change is change the last slip knot the karabiner hooks into, change it to a conventional Loop Knot so that if you ever need to Emergency disconnect the Karabiner does not get Hung up trying to pass through the slip
Why only one bungee instead of 2?

@@CornishKayakAngler you are the men, thanks and God bless
Anchor trolly
bro like your videos but cant hear a word your saying need a mic so we can hear you better !?
The audio on all your videos are too quiet.
Some users report it being quiet and others say it’s fine. I’m not sure if it’s UA-cam or the device it’s being listened on.

AUDIO!!!
What a complete waste of time
In what sense? Tying the knot or having an anchor trolley?
Bruh at least call the different parts of the rope the right names xD
SREALDAN which parts are you referring to? I was just making it up as I went along to be honest 😂
Actually now I think about it, it doesn't matter your just doing your best to describe it cool video Btw yeh....
