Ultra-Light Anchor Trip System with HMPE Line - Ditch the Chain, Keep the Holding Power!
***FOR FISHING ONLY***
Revolutionize your anchoring experience with our innovative Anchor Trip System, engineered to provide unparalleled holding power without the weight, noise, and rust of traditional chain. By replacing heavy chain with advanced HMPE (High Modulus Polyethylene) line, this system offers a smarter, more efficient way to anchor.
Why HMPE?
HMPE is a high-performance fiber known for its incredible strength-to-weight ratio.1 It is 15 times stronger than steel on a pound-for-pound basis, yet so light it floats. This makes it the ideal material for an anchor trip system, offering a host of benefits that traditional chain simply can't match.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Weight Reduction: Our system is a fraction of the weight of a traditional chain setup.
- Trip Line for Easy Anchor Retrieval: The built-in trip line runs from the anchor's crown to the main attachment point, allowing you to pull the anchor out backward if it becomes stuck.
- Superior Abrasion Resistance: The HMPE line is treated for exceptional resistance to abrasion, ensuring it stands up to harsh underwater conditions. It is further protected by a sleek chafe guard.
- Silent and Rust-Free: Say goodbye to the clatter of chain on and messy rust stains. This system is quiet and clean.
- Less Hardware: You loop the system through the rear attachment point via the 4" soft eye. This eliminates the need for a shackle, which is another piece of equipment that could fail.
How it Works:
The system is simple yet highly effective. The HMPE line runs from the anchor's crown (the "trip point") to the main attachments point at the top of the anchor shaft. It is zip-tied to the main attachment point using heavy-duty zip ties. The system ends with a small stainless thimble, to which you will attach your anchor rode using a shackle or swivel. In a foul or stuck anchor situation, the pressure breaks the zip tie, and the anchor is released backward, allowing you to pull it free.
System Includes:
- 1/4" Grey Spliced HMPE Trip Line (breaking strength of rope 8600 lbs)
- Chafe Guard
- Stainless Steel Thimble
- 4 Heavy Duty UV Resistant Zip Ties (breaking strength 250 lbs each)
Perfect For:
Boats of all sizes. This system is a must-have for anyone who anchors in rocky or coral-heavy bottoms and wants a simple solution to avoid losing an expensive anchor.
