This Seachoice anchor line is white nylon in a double braid, 3/8 inch thick and 150 feet long. It is meant to serve as the line between your anchor and the boat. A galvanized steel thimble comes on the line, so the anchor can be attached to it directly. The maker credits the double braid construction with long-term durability.
Our take
The galvanized steel thimble already on the end of this 3/8 inch line means the anchor attaches straight to it. With 150 feet of double braid nylon, that is the length you have to pay out before the rode runs out.
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.
