    Only problem with that is that the plastic zip tie ends up floating around the lake/river. There are ways to avoid this by either tying the zip line to the anchor, or using fish line instead of the zip tie and tying it in a way that when it breaks the line stays connected to the anchor.

    Always love your vids Jim, and while i appreciate this topic was unrelated to PFDs, there was just something missing for me when you didn't end with I've come to consider your signature closing, , "always wear your PFD."

    I have used a 5 lb dumbell for an anchor since I started kayak fishing. Never had it snag so bad i couldn't get it.

    I for SURE figured out why this is a good idea after getting my canoe anchor stuck in some pretty swift current.
    Then, I did even one better (well in my opinion): I bought some wool socks (biodegradable material). I take one sock and put a smooth rock in it. Then, I tie a weak, but "friction-full" knot between my thick anchor rope and the sock. The "rock in sock" is pretty snag-proof; it relies more on weight than hooking to the bottom (doesn't take much more than a couple pounds of rock for a 16' prospector canoe). If the anchor DOES get stuck, I give it a good strong tug like Jim shows here in the video and the sock pulls free of the rope. Yes, there's a sock on the bottom of the river now, but it's biodegradable, and the rock inside it is from the river I am fishing on anyway. Grab a new sock, grab a rock. Fish again.

    Wouldn’t that mean that you’d be leaving plastic in the water? Not cool man
