New Product Review - AnchorLift Pro by Ironwood Pacific

We've carried the popular AnchorLift by Ironwood Pacific for some time and it has proven to be very popular with our cutomers who fish or boat on larger rivers and lakes. It is one of those products that is so simple, and works so well you wonder what you did before you found it. Just when we thought they couldn't improve on it, Ironwood Pacific came out with the new Anchorlift Pro.

The AnchorLift works like a check valve for your anchor rode, allowing the lift to slide towards the anchor, but not slip back out. To set the anchor ,you hold the anchor lift and pull back the bolt and allow the line to run out. Once the desired scope has been played out, you drop the anchor lift into the water where the float will mark the line.

To pull your anchor simply pull out around the bouy at an angle to keep the line clear of your prop. The resistance of the buoy will pull it down the line while floating your anchor to the surface. Once the anchor is up, you simply pull in the line and your anchor will be floating just below the AnchorLift and buoy. Some fishermen will use it as a line marker if they have to run to follow a big fish. If you try this, just be sure you have a stop at the bitter end of your rode to keep the line from running all the way through.

Because a picture is worth 1000 words, here is a video that shows how this works.

The new AnchorLift Pro is Ironwood Pacific's newest addition to their anchor retrieval line-up. While it works on the same principal as the original AnchorLift, the construction is entirely of heavy marine grade anodized aluminum and stainless steel. The Anchor Lift and Anchor Lift pro are designed for anchor rodes with little or no chain. They also work well as crab pot and shrimp pot pullers .

If your anchor rode is rigged with chain as is common in marine environments, try Ironwood Pacific's Anchor Ring and Heavy Duty Anchor Ring Anchor Retrievers.
