What Cascars has illustrated is exactly what I have been using for the last xxx years. I bought one in the USA for a few dollars, it would cost very little to have made up here. Certainly a lot less complex, costly and cumbersome that the Anka Yanka.Cheers guys. Was thinking it was expensive but compared to the anka yanker its fairly cheap. Would you recommend constructing something similar rather than purchasing these ready made retrival kits?
I use the anchor yanka myself but I cant see that they are any better than the split ringI have made up loads of the rings and split rings for people, they take me 15 min for the solid ring and 30 min for the split ring. If you have someone local who can stainless weld I wouldn't have thought it would cost more than £15-£20. You could also just use the spring clip if you could source on big enough.
Keep your eyes open when you are out and you can often find a suitable buoy drifting or washed up on the beach. I probably pick up 4 or 5 a year, best one last year was adrift with a complete tangle of 12mm nylon rope, chain and danforth anchor underneath it.
can be done but if you where going any distance it would be an u nessisary drag and affect economy ectWatched Rex Hunt use this system ,but once the anchor was under the bouy instead of pulling it in he just left it trailing behind the boat until he got to the next mark.Is that common practice
Wow - the 'World' bit of 'World Sea Fishing' has lived up to its name - visitors from New Mexico and New Zealand overnight!I have an alternative to the Anka Yanka....Called a Kiwiklaw. Way easier and a lot safer i think.Check this out. http://www.kiwiklaw.co.nz .

As Chris died a couple of years ago, I very much doubt it:secret:Would you be prepared to make and post one?
