Stuie Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Looks quite good, similar principle to some lead release clips I have for shore fishing rough ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve S Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I am not sure I would want to be at anchor knowing a sharp pull and the boat is on the drift. That could come from wake, chop, a change of wind direction. my trip is low diameter rope, knotted. The boat has to be over the anchor and considerable force applied before the rope breaks. I did use to use tyraps and to be fair I never had a them trip while at anchor however I found they would often trip before they needed to on the retrieve I got up to 6 being used thought this is this is getting crazy so tried thin rope. Obviously the knot must not come loose.... I use a double overhand loop. Neal and charlieannear 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 don't fix something that isn't broken, its probably also because I am so tight and wont pay for something that I could lose whilst tripping the anchor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
