lenght of Seasense Grappling Anchor, 5lb???

[Darren Nemeth]

There is no mention of the length of this anchor on the iboats.com site.

Anyone have one of these? If so, how big or small is it?

The length of an anchor is not too important. That anchor is a grapple. You may only use it to grapple wrecks and to some extent rocks. If you plan to anchor in a sand, mud or silt bottom, go for a fluke-style anchor.

BTW - Normally you rig a trip line so if the anchor gets stuck, the trip line breaks, and you may pull the anchor our backward.

I need to know the length because it will be displayed in the Batboat. It almost looks like the grappeling hook used in the tv show and thought it would go well with the boat depending on its size.
