![]() Should of asked this question before i brought it but, I got 3/8 inch 300' of anchor rope for inshore sea bass and blackfish. I am new to the anchor seen so was wondering if 3/8 was to thin. Any thoughts guys would be a big help.
Thanks John |

![]() Line diameter should be OK for your boat.
Do you have a sufficient length of chain? What depth do you think you'll be fishing? There are many questions & options. Take a look at "Selecting an Anchor Rode" on the West Marine website. It's got lots of good info. |

![]() I don't think more that 50-60 ft.
As for chain, on chuck the anchorman website, people didn't use it, they said zip tie rope to top ring of anchor and shackle at the bottom for reverse pull, that way you use less rope. that what it says, I don't know you got me, i always see chain connected to the anchor. |
