Does the line on this anchor kit stay kinked or is it pretty low-memory? For $30 I'm hoping it's at least a decent rope...

The rope is nylon. I doesn't quite coil up as nice as I'd like but this thing worked perfectly for me this summer. I would recommend.

It doesn't stay kinked, but it is only 25 foot long. I swapped it out for a 50 foot length of line.

No it doesn't retain memory much. I've used it since April fishing off the beaches in NJ. Works great keeping the kayak stationary.

Just buy some heavy duty braided rope...like para cord, 50 or 100 ft. for just a few dollars, much better than a cheap plastic rope.Hope tis helps

The straps that go around the Kayak are very long, probably too long. I tied mine in a knot because I didn't like or trust the plastic buckles. I also added a secondary piece of rope from hook to hook that hang below the strap in case the strap lets go it won't fall on my car. You don't want the kayak hanging just on the rope sling as it might leave a crease in the kayak over time, use the wide straps to spread out the load. I love mine but wounder how log the rope will last due to the pulley lock system. I can always replace the rope.

I personally didn't use any anchors, and its being healdy up sturdily. I can pull on it with my hands (medium strength, of course) and its not budging.

The outside sheathing on the rope is flexible and fairly coarse. I have not had any problems with knots loosening. This is a utility rope, not intended for climbing, rappeling. etc. I use it mostly when working up high to apply tension to branches to direct their fall after cutting. It is a good general purpose utility rope and I have used it for many things from tree work to camping to raising light loads. As always, use the proper knot for the application. Hope this helps!

Sorry but rope would stretch too much! Must use at least 1/4 inch cable for children, bought cable at Home Depot in 125ft reel best buy that I found

Hello Nicholas,Thanks for the question. I bought this rope to include in my emergency kit and have not opened it, but the wrapper clearly states 3/8" x 25ft. It is one single rope and does appear to be of good quality. The packaged rope is 12" long, has 12 complete loops and several bindings, so I'm pretty sure it's at least 25ft. I am of the opinion that the picture featuring three ropes is to clarify that there are several colors available. My particular rope is green, but I wasn't given an opportunity to choose a color. For the price, this rope is very good value for money and arrived quickly. I have no complaints.Regards and Seasonal Greetings,Ray. Hello Nicholas,Thanks for the question.

Mine was doing the same thing. The problem on mine was the knot where the rope was tied to the chain was hanging on the shut off bar in the anchor saddle. I put a fender washer on the rope behind the knot to prevent the knot from going through the shutoff bar.

I think you would be ok for a while. I suspect the ropes will weather over time. I think the hardware would hold up ok.

I am not sure what the diameter is but it is the same as a ski rope. I have two and both have been used for anchoring kayaks. We have tied up to six kayaks on the Gulf Of Mexico and had no problems. The rope and the anchor should be fine for kayak and small boats. You will not be able to break it by pulling on it, unless you a superhero.

No it is only a 30 foot long rope it doesn't get tangled if you role it up nearly and then place in the bag. However just an FYI if your fishing a sandy bottom area that has high winds or current. That anchor does not keep you still.

i use a 30lb river anchor and it works perfect i wouldnt have a boat without one of these on my boat!

yes it ties just like rope with no slipping. Keep in mind once the knot is tied and pulled tight it will not be undone. Using a draw weight scale used for setting up compound bows the line broke at 88lbs no matter what knot i used. Hope this helps

I haven't had to tighten mine yet, but I think I could loosen the knot at the end of one of the lines and tighten then re-knot the line. I really enjoy using this unit. It's not as stable as one that are cemented in the ground, but I like that I can dismantle and store when not in use. Good luck if you do need to tighten the lines.

I have not tried the rope. Purchased the crank aid. The crank is pretty easy.

It comes with ropes and quick links on each end. You would need a separate set of tree straps or anchoring system to use. Hope this helps!

Not rope but a nylon cord that is 1/4 " that runs the full length and sticks out some. So you can thread it easier.
