Gen3 Marine Galvanized Folding Grapnel Anchor, 7 Pounds, 4-Prong

The Gen3 Marine Galvanized Folding Grapnel Anchor is a 7 pound, four-pronged anchor built for temporary holding in low-current conditions. Its folding prong design lets the anchor collapse flat for compact storage aboard smaller vessels, then open into a four-point grip that catches on rocks, coral, gravel, weeds, and other bottom debris rather than digging in like a fluke-style anchor. This makes it a practical choice for personal watercraft, kayaks, dinghies, and other small boats that need a quick, no-fuss anchoring solution rather than a primary long-term hold.

Because the grapnel design relies on snagging rather than burying, it is best suited to short-term stops such as a lunch break, a fishing spot, or a swim stop in sheltered water, and it is not intended for extreme holding conditions or strong current. The galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in the marine environment. Overall item dimensions are 12 x 3 x 3 inches, and the anchor weighs 7 pounds.
