- Yes
Samson's Pro-Set-3 is a nylon anchor line in white with red and green tracers. Length, diameter and strength are not given here, so confirm those against the part number before you rely on it for a particular boat. It comes pre-spliced, with a high strength reinforced black synthetic thimble already in the end. That means the eye is made for you and you do not have to splice one yourself.
Our take
The pre-spliced eye with its reinforced black synthetic thimble is the practical feature of this Pro-Set-3 nylon line, because the end that meets the anchor hardware is already finished. Length, diameter and strength are not stated, so confirm those before relying on it.
From our buying guide
The Coast Guard's general guidance is to let out five to seven times the depth of water plus the distance from the surface to the bow. Samson says nylon is used in anchor lines because its elasticity absorbs shock loads.
Check before you buy:
- The length gives you that scope in the water where you anchor.
- The chain included is what you want, since products include different lengths of chain: 4 ft in some and 15 ft in others.
- You can get at any rope-to-chain splice, which New England Ropes says to check regularly and remake at any evidence of wear.
