COOPER ANCHOR 1Kg/2.2lb - Nylon - PWC Anchor Jetski Anchor and Boat Anchor to 3.5m/12ft

Anchor held well at a sand bar in 7-10 mph winds and light to medium wave from passing boat wakes. Didn’t notice any anchor drift. I attached a 4 ft length of 3/16 chain to the anchor (allowing for anchor to bite) then a 7-14 foot spring anchor line to the chain. Compact size fits well in front storage area. Seems to be made of quality plastic.

I use this for my FishPro. It works perfectly on sandy or muddy bottoms. It digs right in quickly and doesn't slip. I like that I can toss it into my storage without beating up the inside of my ski with a heavy metal rig.

Bought for my 2019 Yamaha Waverunner VXR. Haven't had a chance to use it in deep water or any significant swell yet, but it's definitely an interesting concept. I was looking for a lightweight anchor that wouldn't beat the tar out of my front storage compartment, and didn't take up a lot of room. This fit the bill, and a quick Google search revealed that people all over the world swear by these Cooper Anchors. The one thing I will say from my preliminary tests done on the shore of our backyard pond is to mind the instructions about how much chain VS rope VS water depth you are using. This is known as "scope", and it's a concept that mariners have used for hundreds if not thousands of years when anchoring. I found the best results for my application to be a section of nylon rope approximately 4-6 feet long directly attached to the anchor, followed by a section of chain approximately 4 feet long, and then more rope from the other end of the chain up to the watercraft. At the surface end of the anchor line, I used an 8-inch plastic bouy (found here on Amazon for a few bucks), and a galvanized quick-release carabiner (also found here on Amazon) to attach to the front eyelet in the hull of the Waverunner. That way if I accidentally drop the end of the anchor line, it doesn't sink to the bottom of the Chesapeake Bay with my anchor, chain, and line going with it. Finally, I found a cheap fabric style "Drawstring gym backpack" (again, Amazon) that perfectly fits the anchor, chain, and 60 feet of nylon line to keep it all organized in the bilge until I need it. As novel of a concept as the Cooper Anchor is, it does rely more on physics than brawn and sheer weight to accomplish it's staying power. With that said, I would have no doubts trusting it on a calm day in nominal conditions - i.e. with the anchor on the beach and the watercraft a few feet offshore. Would I trust it mooring in 40 feet of open water with a heavy current or huge tidal swing? Probably not. At just 1kg (a little more than 2lbs), it really does rely on you to have the anchor and line setup for *absolute* optimal scope given the water depth you're anchoring in. And for that reason, I wouldn't count on it the way I would a heavier traditional anchor. But who knows, maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised the more I use and come to trust it.

I have a 22 Sea Doo Fish Pro Trophy which has an anchor system from the factory. It works fine in calm, shallow areas with bottom structure. I was yesterday in 10+mph wind and the factory anchor just wouldnt hold whatsoever. After 3 attempts in a single spot i remembered i had this anchor in the storage compartment, did a quick swap, threw it out and within about 5 feet of where i threw it it grabbed and was rock solid. Tried it in a few other spots and the same result. Its nylon so it wont get any nasty rust and it wont beat up your storage compartment. I'm tossing the other anchor...if you fish intercoastal/coastal or just anywhere that isnt a pristine lake with zero wind and want something that works...this is it. Stop looking and buy it.

Good anchor, holds well. Recommend a short piece of chain (2 - 4 feet).

I have owned a PWC for 12 years and have tried every anchoring system that I could find. I was at an airshow where there were a lot of boats and PWCs. The water was choppy from boat chop and wind. I normally use sand bags, and on this day I had to keep re-positioning the sand bags to keep from drifting. I saw a guy on a PWC just throw out an anchor and walk away. His PWC never moved from where he anchored it, and this was for several hours. I managed to find the guy and he showed me what he was using, and it was the Cooper Anchor. I ordered it and have been using it every since. You literally just throw it out and it holds right where you throw it. I added a 4 foot marine grade chain and a 4 foot bungee line. It works great!

lightweight, good material. however, the hole at the end if terrible to find a connector for a chain. It is so small, combined with the width of the plastic.

Wanted something to use with my Waverider "Jet Ski" and this product works very well in the sand. I would add a little weight to the rope tie off and it digs very well.
