Wreck fishing – for some of angling’s
most beloved saltwater fish, including blackfish, sea bass, ling, cod and more –
is all about anchoring.

And achoring is all about
the right anchor.

The Anchorman Wreck Anchors are
the right ones, the company says.

Here’s why.

Durability is one of the most
important reasons.

Anchorman Wreck Anchors are made from “hot rolled steel,”
instead of recycled rebar like most others, the company says.

The company’s founder, Chuck Proto, a.k.a. Chuck the Anchorman, a fisherman, in the welding business 25 years, noticed that anchors made from recycled rebar weakened over time.

That’s because the properties of the metal changed.

Hot rolled steel eliminates that problem, or doesn’t change like that,
and is stronger and more durable, the company says.

Anchorman Anchors bend more, and rust less, it says, and all of this helps prevent breakage.

The design is simple.

The usual ring at the top holds
the boat in place.

A ring at the bottom can be used to
make the boat pull the anchor free.

Plastic ties are used to secure the
rope from the top ring to the bottom
ring, so when the trip is ready to
leave, the rope can be pulled to
break the ties.

That pulls up the bottom of the
anchor, freeing it from the wreck.

That also helps prevent anchor loss.  

In other words, the design is either for Standard Rigging, using the top ring, or Reverse Pull, using the bottom ring.

Anchorman Anchors are also made for low maintenance.

They’re finished with black paint, so boaters can touch them up with black spray paint as needed.

Other anchors are finished with powdered coating or are galvanized, preventing simple touch-up.

Designed to be used on boats up to 45 feet long, The Anchorman Wreck Anchors come in two sizes, and are available at many local tackle shops, listed on The Anchorman’s Web site.

To catch fish at wrecks, anchor right.

To anchor right, use The Anchorman Wreck Anchors, the company recommends.
