The Gripper Anchor is perfect for pontoons, fishing boats and runabouts. This anchor is designed for varied applications and conditions. Use it with or without an anchor winch like Minn Kota Deckhand, Power Winch, or Anchor Mate; in lakes or rivers with mud, sand, or rock bottoms with no chain needed. The Digger anchor is perfect for boaters that don't currently have an anchor winch, and may install one in the future, as the Gripper anchor is designed to perform well with or without an anchor winch. This innovative anchor features a wide base to stop rolling and maintain anchor position, a unique fluke design for fast, deep in-line digs, and carefully designed hydrodynamics to enable straight drops and precise positioning.
