Keith I’m a fisherman with fresh and saltwater experience. I’m also a metal artist. I have a nice metal shop out back in my Mississippi Delta home. My neighbor and I love your channel. Just built my version of your press break. Bout to do the portable band saw and monster rod holder ones. We have Too end boats and catfish on the Mississippi River. Your videos are awesome, and we love to fabricate in our shops. If you ever want to fish the Mighty Mississippi and enjoy Mississippi Delta culture, give me a shout on metalartmississippi on Facebook. You and I have quite a bit in common. Mainly our fabrication ideas and tools. Peace man! Keep em coming!
Thank you! Made one out of extra stainless steel I had laying around. Everyone ask me where I got it. I tell them Fishing N Stuff! Keep them videos coming.
I could watch all your videos and learn just about everything I’ll ever need to know how to DIY. You have very informative videos, and you add humor, which it is Awesome too. Keep up the videos.
Thank you Keith! Just finished mine. I welded the 2.5" square tube on at a diagonal so the weighted side is more likely to grab 2 prongs instead of one.
That is an awesome design. I've got a couple Richter anchors that I paid quite a bit for. Your design will work just as good and cost much less. I always enjoy your videos and learn something from each and every one. Keep em coming.
i love the anchor. absolutely love it. once ive convinced my wife to buy the angle grinder. metal saw, drill press and a welder. i can start saving money building my own anchors lol (just kidding). great tutorial. thanks for the video kept me entertained.
I thought you did a terrific job (as you ALWAYS do) with the river anchor vid. I really like your channel and have incorporated many ideas for both my freshwater bassboat and saltwater center console. You have great DIY ideas and, to me, it's alway more fun to fish using gear, devices and tackle that I've made myself (not to mention stretching my fishing dollars). Keep up the great work and here's wishing you solid hooksets!
Thank you Sir , I'm glad you like it and I appreciate you for watching em . I think there's nothing cooler than catching fish on the stuff you made yourself . You be safe out there brother
My anchor let go yesterday and we drifted almost into the swim area so this morning I'm researching anchors. I like this one but also i like your most recent one so i think I will incorporate aspects of both. Rather than center it I might weld the chain connection at the top on the lighter side hanging into the chains intended path. Then I don't need to mark the heavy side. I didn't understand about strapping the chain at the top and attaching securely to the bottom, I'm grateful for the explanation. Anyway this was awesome. I appreciate you. Thank you for sharing your skills knowledge and experience
@@FishinNStuff I'm considering turning a sailboat into a skiff and I think the keel board is filled with lead....have you ever harvested lead from a keel? Just wondering if it's worth trying
Awesome video!! Another idea for the keeper on the pin is a key ring loop. They won’t come out accidentally and most everyone has several laying around. Thanks for the awesome DIY!!
Safety Note: when melting and pouring lead Make Sure everything is DRY! No moisture! If there is any moisture it will explode lead every where. Great videos.
Hell of a finished product. The lead pouring was surprisingly satisfying. That heavy side "bump" (brilliant 😁) The PPE scene 🤣. Wish you'd showed more of it being put together and taken apart. Awesome project
The DIY-KING 🤴. Another great DIY video, I really enjoy watching what you make. Your projects turn out awesome 👍. If you ever have to mark metal, you can use a punch, and make some dimples too 🧐. Loved the part about your PPE’s too 😷. Hope you and your family stay safe and healthy my friend .
Damn, someone bent the hell outta that anchor! LOL! Nice job on the new model. You keep upping your game. Now I gotta find something to melt lead. Stay safe and keep the videos coming!!

I would love to meet you in person you are so funny ! And brilliant the way you come at a project from every angle and end up with very fine products made very economicly, I would like to watch and see the true time it takes you to make something like this anchor ! Because this just became my next project and I know exactly how to make it. ...best instructional videos I've ever seen. You seem to think of everything great job!
Thank you very much . It takes a lil longer in real life than it did on the videos lol . I appreciate you watching and the comments just help stoke the fire . I appreciate you brother
Your da man, I’ve put 4 of your DIY’s to good use, an this was one of em, but I definitely 100% like it this way better, now I should be mad at ya cause I gotta do it over again, but I’m definitely not cause I know your gonna pop up wit another DIY that I’m gonna need, your da man brotha, an keep doin your DIY’s an stuff 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Bro, it's scary how we think alike!!😱 POP and I were just talking a few weeks ago about how we could make an anchor that would come apart to store better and VOILA' You post a video for that very reason!!!😂 Great idea and awesome build, brother!!!
Should have used the weld seam in the square pipe as the heavy side. That way it stands out while you build your anchor. When you are ready to finish up the anchor you grind down the weld seam until it disappears. Then paint. Just what I would have done for my own anchor
I've done that too I was just showing why I put the ground on the part , because I did it in another video and some ppl said just ground your table . Which is what I always do . But your right I tack parts to the table for better ground and instead of using a clamp sometimes
I don't have an anchor compartment, but I do need to figure out how to make my anchor heavier. I was thinking of adding a bigger chain, but I need to take a closer look at it and see if there's a way I can add weight to the anchor itself. It's a nice anchor with the zip tie break-away design, but it breaks loose a lot if the wind gets up on me. You've got enough PPE to outfit and entire hospital. Dang PPE hoarder! 😂
Man… Just had to cut off an anchor that got lodged in a tree out on the Saint Croix this weekend. Wish I would've seen this video before I already bought another cast-iron river anchor. Think I might go ahead and build one of these anyways.
You make really cool anchors. I hard about a box anchor that catfisher use. it would be cool if you built one weld and no weld like you did the river anchor . at last people will know it's built good
That was awesome, I only see one mistake.... you put your sticker on the bottom side so it will get all scratched up in the gravel... plus if you put them on the sides the fish will see them and know they are about to get a ride in the boat!
Love it love it love it. Now that's badd ass. Sorry but it is. And I make fishing weights I've been wanting no roll now that you've made a mold now I can't weld but I'm going to watch I've got to figure me a way cause cost to much to loose and river fishing we loose alot lead so yea I need to be able to make my own thanks bro. God bless
Hi Keith I live down here in Spartanburg and im thinkin bout getting myself a 24ft Pontoon boat and id like to know what size rope to put on it ang how long do i need? im going to start fishing for them big cats and whatever bites. ive been disabled the past 4 years. i guess ill start fishin down at Lake Greenwood when i get able. ive been purchasing all kind of fishin tackle. i still need a couple anchors and rod holders i thought about puttin about 4 rod holders on each corner. Thanks buddy i appreciate all you can tell me. Big Dan
I run a 100 foot rope , ive ran 50 on one anchor , drop the 100 footer first then troll it all out drop the 50 foot anchor . Then pull back 50 foot till its tight . Then you got 50 foot on each side . 3/8s rope or higher should be plenty strong
I’ve been watching All your videos and I’ve bought PVC Pipe and going to make me some jugs and I thought about buying some of Steve Douglas rod holders and anchors and a big net and fix up my boat nice for cat fishin. I love your boat it’s very nice but I’m wanting a big pontoon a fishin pontoon with bout 150 hp so I can get out of peoples way if have too! lol I enjoy watching your UA-cam channel
@@dannyfoster6794 no drop.the 100 troll up 100 feet till its all out drop the 50 then pull your self back until the 50s tight and and you hit 50 on each side but it depends on how deep the water is where you fish
Fishin N Stuff I really like the Anchor you made the other week. Best looking one I’ve ever seen. I’d love to get you to make me a couple of them and I also like your rod holders also and the thing you put the rod holders on that fits on the corners your very good at your DIY’s
@@FishinNStuff the problem I have with mine is it seems not to hold it like it should figured you could come up with something lol thanks for all the videos I really enjoy watching and learning not to mention the laughs keep'em coming
@@429Rob thank you brother i appreciate that , ill most likely make more Anchors but that Anchor really did shock me his good it held my boat . I would bet that it holds as good as 2 15 lb mushroom anchors . Even in the mud it dug in good
Well technically lead weights for times what steel weighs that's why I used it . But you could just weld a couple big pieces of rebar to one side of the inside , it won't be as heavy but I think it'll be fine because a lot of ppl use 10 and 12 lb anchors . And water will fit in the bottom part because the lead seals it off but it'll still last a few years if you don't lose it 😉
If u made same anchor w/ aluminum only use the thicker wall stuff I wonder what that would weight bc u can always make it heavier w/the chain but trying to make lighter is alot tougher.
No Sir I just Mahe videos and between work and UA-cam I don't have alot of time left over. Look into Never lost Anchors. They are the best deal out there
That anchor is awesome, but you got rid of the two tines on the "light side" your anchor would definitely be heavier on one side, your chain will be on top and the "top" two tines are not doing anything anyway.
That's not a dumb question at all . I made the first river anchor video i did a couple years ago and never used it because i fish lakes mostly. Well I used it one night and on a soft bottom it out I preformed my mushroom anchors by like 200% , so yes definitely use em in a lake

Jim, Every once in a while, I've found some scrap lead on Craigslist. Also since CA has banned all lead ammo in the field (for both fur bearers and all birds), I have used unused lead shot that I once reloaded with. Just thinkin out of the box...
@@FishinNStuff I have a friend that owns a premier roofing company. He lets me have all the old scrap lead flashing he removes from old roofs he replaces. What I don't use I give to a friend that is a Striper guide to pour bucktail jig heads. He takes me fishing when he has free time.

Great idea thanks don't know if anyone told you that a #2 pencil is made of graphite you would have just had to color the bolt you cut the threads off of with it just save you a little money next time instead of going to hobby lobby
Didn't think of that , thank you
It doesn’t matter if the flutes are 17 or 18 inches does it
The zip tie can be a dangerous idea.
Will this work in a lake....if not, any suggestions?
It widths great in the lake I fish . Even in a soft bottom
Interesting that the thumbnail for this video shows the anchor with the chain on bottom
Is not on the bottom it a little loose . Hanging
Ol by the way the fishin n stuff decal is the bottom . So its on its side . Any wayits a thumbnail picture lol
Fishing nets
Why four tines is anchor always falls same way. Get rid of those two upper tines, then it might fit somewhere in the boat better.
That's a good idea man , plus it'll make the heavy side heavier huh
Everyday it’s becoming harder to find scrap lead. Even the tire shops are now paying companies to legally dispose of it.
It does , you have too look around for a scrapyard that sell
You could use concrete...I use concrete to make trot line weights...
Jim, Every once in a while, I've found some scrap lead on Craigslist. Also since CA has banned all lead ammo in the field (for both fur bearers and all birds), I have used unused lead shot that I once reloaded with. Just thinkin out of the box...
look for scrap sailboats some keels are 10+ tonnes of lead and alot of boats get scrapped
@@FishinNStuff I have a friend that owns a premier roofing company. He lets me have all the old scrap lead flashing he removes from old roofs he replaces. What I don't use I give to a friend that is a Striper guide to pour bucktail jig heads. He takes me fishing when he has free time.
