Greenfield Products 8 lb Mushroom Anchor, Blue Coated, Model 508-R, Lake and River Anchor

The Greenfield Products 508-R is an 8 pound mushroom anchor finished in a blue protective coating, built for holding small boats, canoes, kayaks, jon boats, and other light craft in calm lake and river conditions. The mushroom shape is designed to settle into soft bottoms such as mud, silt, and sand, where the inverted bell profile digs in and resists dragging better than a simple weight of the same size. This makes it a popular choice for anglers and paddlers who need dependable holding power in protected water without the bulk of a fluke-style anchor.

The 508-R is coated for corrosion resistance and to protect the deck, hull, and hands during handling and storage, and the blue finish also makes the anchor easy to spot in a gear locker or on a dock. At 8 pounds, it falls into the lighter end of the mushroom anchor range, suited to smaller boats and calmer inland waters rather than open water or heavy current. It is intended for use with an appropriately sized anchor line, sold separately, attached through the integrated eye at the top of the anchor.
