Rated 4 out of 5 by wjordan52 Works fine for our little fishing boat
The style and weight work well for out 12' aluminum fishing boat. The 'locking' mechanism is a bit sloppy and the anchor will unfold unexpectedly if not stored securely. All in all a good deal for the price.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Mechanic Folding Grapple Anchor
The folding grapple anchor is small and compact yet has excellent holding power. The sliding collar that holds the grapples open or closed works but could be a bit tighter so it will stay in place. The galvanizing looks to be adequate. I would recommend adding a 2ft piece of chain to the anchor so that the grapples stay parallel to the bottom and grabs quickly. This will also prevent wear of the rope as it is dragged across sharp rocks , zebra mussels etc. It stores very easily due to its size.

Supposedly there is some way to rig a folding grappling anchor so you can remove the anchor if it should become stuck in the bottom of the river. How is this anchor rigged?Answers
A:
There is a small hole located at the bottom of the anchor. This is intended for a rope that is attached to a small float. If the grapple will not release you pull on the float at 180 degrees to the direction of your drift and it should pull the grapple out from what ever it is caught under. The reality is that most people don't bother with the second line and float and only wish they had put in on when they get hung up.Q:

I fish Lake of the Ozarks and normaly do not fish in much over 20 ft of water.Would it take two to hold the boat in a light wind.
Answers
A:
The weight of the anchor is typically not what is used to hold you in place. The type of anchor and the type of bottom along with the length of anchor line are the critical items. The anchor needs to be able to grab whether it be in weeds, mud, or rocks and stay connected as the boat moves around due to the wind and waves. The longer the anchor rope the less chance it will pull free as the anchor stays closer to being parallel to the bottom. Adding a couple of feet of chain will work better than a heavier anchor.A:
The 7 Lbs would hold you in 20' of water but 2 would keep you from spinning around.Answers
A:
No the rope doesn't come with it. I bought a 100' rope for a good price and that works great.Answers
A:
I would think this anchor would hold as it sinks into the mud or grabs anything thats there. We were fishing with a 30 MPH wind and it held us.Details:
