bernieNC Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 I'd get one but can't cost justify it. Have not had my current anchor out of the locker in over two years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nail-em Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 I got one for my 20 pathy a few years back...he made sure the bar length was long enough for it to hang in the locker! Great guy, great product! Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmetto1 Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 I wonder if the 8lb would hold with some chain. Are you using chain on the 12lb. I saw on the website "no need for chain". Be nice to do away with chain if thats true or do chain plus lighter model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaClawAnchors Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Thanks Dino. On the new 8# anchor, I haven't heard of anybody use chain with it. Notice the USA on the new casting! http://www.seaclaw.com We still make them one at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCFD rtrd. Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 I bought a 12 lb. from Kevin years ago. Lost it one time, but marked the area and came back the next day with my mask and snorkel. Found it. Sold that boat and the only thing that I kept was the Sea Claw. Holds the 23 every time with no chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do rig it break-away 100% fo the time.... When I had -DA BIG MOMMA 18 LBR, I HAD A 6' CHAIN AND A BREAK AWAY FOR TAILING IN 100 ' plus off Marathon or Islamorda MOSTLY TO JUST GET IT DOWN FASTER. For the average application on the reef, it holds just fine...and in the break away mode (I use 6-8 small zip ties) and keep a bag on board to re-tye in case...it holds just fine. I think the chain in shallow applications would actually hurt vs help...don't know...I used the 12 lb (i had two when I had the Pathy) for shallow applications on the Patch reefs and in 60-70 feet...I would just quickly change it out.... For the deeper applications, you need an anchor ball to pull it up....I also used to carry a large door matt on the front deck when I was pulling it on board to prevent chiping the gelcoat...that 18 lb'r was a bear....but, stopped you on a dime. dc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
