Gen3 Marine 6 lb Beach Spike Anchor, 18 Inch Angled Iron Spike, 32 Inch Total Length

The Gen3 Marine Shore Spike Anchor is a 6 lb beach anchor built for securing small boats, kayaks, canoes, and other watercraft on shore or in shallow water. Instead of digging into sand or mud like a traditional fluke anchor, it uses an 18 inch angled iron spike that is driven directly into soft or hard-packed shorelines. The top of the anchor forms a padded handle that doubles as a built-in slide hammer, so you can drive the spike into the ground by hand without extra tools. Once the spike is set, the anchor holds firm thanks to its angled iron design, which resists being pulled straight back out.

The anchor has two D-rings for different jobs: the lower D-ring is used to tie off your vessel's anchor line, while the upper D-ring lets you attach a buoy and line for visibility on the water. At 32 inches in total length, the Shore Spike Anchor is compact enough to store and transport easily, and it comes with a storage bag for keeping it organized between trips. This anchor is suited to anyone beaching or shallow-anchoring a boat, kayak, canoe, or personal watercraft who wants a simple, hammer-in alternative to a conventional anchor and rode.
