Are you tired of losing your reef anchor? Then you need a Miss Judys Reef anchor. It beats a mighty mite hands down. She has been in the offshore bottom fishing world since 1956 and knows what it takes to get anchored over structure and not lose your anchor.

Capt. Judy put a great deal of thought in the design of this anchor. The tines will bend, but you probably need to carry a small pipe with you if you need to bend them back while on the water.

Her design is unique in that her anchor has a ring on top of the tines. You do not use chain with this system.  Slide your line thru a 5 foot piece of garden hose. This is to keep the structure from cutting your rode. Next tie your line on to the top of the anchor as shown above. Then useing a few tie wraps, fasten the hose and line to the shank of the anchor.

This is the beauty of this system. When you are ready to retrieve this anchor just pull it up. If it is not stuck too bad , the tine will bend, not break over time like a might mite and you are on your way. However if you are really stuck, just put your vessle in reverse. This action snaps the cable ties and frees the Rode from the shank, as in the picture above. Then you just pull foward and the anchor comes up by its head.
