When you know exactly what you want for your watercraft, design your own rode right here. 

Galvanized or Stainless? A few points to consider:

Stainless chain offers an aesthetics benefit for those who prefer the continuous shine of stainless on the bow of their boat.

Stainless chain avoids the issues concerning galvanizing and wear. It also stows nicely, because unlike galvanized chain it does not 'cone' in the chain locker (simply because the links are smoother).

Our galvanized chain is high-test G4 short link. It is hot-dipped and with proper care, will provide years of use.

Eight-Plait or 3-Strand

Here's a quick video about the pros and cons of each!

If you have ANY questions at all about what size rode you need for your chainwheel, please ask prior to ordering! Custom anchor rodes CANNOT be returned for any reason except unusual wear & tear or defects. Please check sizing prior to ordering.
 
**All rodes must be soaked prior to use, otherwise snags and slippage can occur. Ensure that you have the proper size and then soak from 2 to 24 hours before loading into your windlass.**
 
Our current production time for a custom anchor rode is 2-3 business days if we have the materials in stock, or up to 3 weeks if we are waiting on inventory. 
 
We use UPS ground for our free shipping and can take up to 5 business days once your items ships. If you need your rode expedited, please call us to arrange for a different option.

    Custom Anchor Rode 150’ Three Strand Nylon Rope with 25’ of Chain

    Posted by Doug Lehn on 3rd Aug 2022

    Very impressed with this product. I knew as soon as I pulled it out of the box it was first grade material. It was packed amazing and came out of the package freely & without kinks! I purchased the same type of Rode from a competitor and I was extremely disappointed. It had over 9 kinks out of the box and you can tell they heat melted it in several spots because it was already frayed from the distributor. I sent it back right a way. This is a great product at an extremely fair price!

    Beautiful splices well done. I would give a 5 star review except that the bitter end was buried in the box and I had to unpack the entire rode to find the the end that goes into the boat first.
