There's something about horking top-quality nylon rope into a goopy pond that doesn't sit right with me. Enter: the kayak anchor that's \"just good enough\"! This has that plasticky sorta rope that'll degrade with 30 years in sunshine, but for the price, I don't need more. The anchor is a giant hunk of metal that'll grip even \"corals\" according to the manual (writers, that might not sit well here in the 'States but who am I to judge?) and it is all assembled with just enough love to make this practical. I already throw money out on boat stuff, so I'm glad this is priced in that sweet spot of \"that'll work!\". 5 stars for doing the job and nothing else.
