Quickline Ultra Anchor

The Ultra Anchor  has a rugged and strong design, it features a very low center of gravity that ensures it consistently lands upright on the seafloor. Its pointed, curved tip, hollow shank and lead-filled concave base allows it to set in all bottom conditions, penetrating even the toughest surfaces quickly and ensuring extra-strong holding power.

The anchor is rust resistant and its fully enclosed lead base eliminates any electrolysis issues. The anchor’s anti-foul bar ensures that the anchor rode will not tangle on the shank or dislodge it from its set position. The harder the rode pulls the more deeply the anchor digs in. This anchor is also an eco-friendly solution; typically setting within its own length, it reduces bottom environment impact and its high polished surface resists mud and debris sticking.

The Ultra Anchor is available in 15 different sizes from 18 to 440 pounds and has a retail price range of $900 to $15,000.
