[QUOTE="Waterwings, post: 5465, member: 123"] :shock: Brings to mind what happened to me about 3 years ago at Ky Lake while using the Tracker. It was windy and I noticed we were drifting, even though I had the anchor out. Looked over the side of the boat and saw my polypro anchor line floating freely on the surface. Come to find out the carabiner that was back-spliced into the line (bought it like that at WalMart) had un-clipped itself somehow from the anchor. It happened on two different trips (2 different anchor lines from WalMart). There are now two 12lb mushroom anchors (almost in the same location) near Moors Resort & Marina. I do not buy those pre-made anchor lines with the carabiner from Wally World any longer. [/QUOTE]
