Nylon ropes are considered better because they are stronger, more resistant to ultraviolet radiation, and have the ability to stretch slightly, softening wave impacts. Polypropylene is cheaper and does not sink, but it deteriorates faster in the sun.
It is enough to rinse it from dirt, clay, and algae. If you fish in salt water, be sure to rinse the metal anchor with fresh water to prevent corrosion, even if it has a galvanized coating.
For reliable anchoring, the rope length should be 3-5 times greater than the depth at the stopping point. For example, at a depth of 5 meters, you will need at least 15-20 meters of rope so that the anchor holds at an angle rather than being pulled out vertically.
Yes, even 1-1.5 meters of chain between the anchor and the rope significantly improve holding. The chain presses the anchor shank to the bottom, helping the flukes “dig in” faster, and absorbs jerks during waves.
The basic rule for inflatable PVC boats is 1 kg of anchor weight per 1 meter of the vessel’s length. For hard-hull boats, the weight is calculated individually based on displacement and windage (the height of the sides).
