Find Best Price at Amazon"After reading that others lost it in the water (no float on the device) and that the end pulled off when under stress, I quickly modified it upon arrival. You need a electric or cordless screwdriver, a short small steel screw (stainless preferable and a 'pointed' tip), razor or scissors to cut pool noodle and of course, the pool noodle. I have a 24 foot pontoon and have really stressed this thing out by using it to push and pull away from the dock on two separate trips to the lake since putting it to use. (Pool noodles are like a drinking straw so they are hollow in the center). How to put in the screw: There are 4 indentations, 2 equally opposed on each side (think I said indentions in the video, sorry, it is indentation)."
"Its hand to fetch buoys, jug lines, trotlines, the girlfriend when she starts floating away, and to relocate snakes that may have found a resting place in your battery compartment."
"Another reviewer suggested that if you feel the screwed in hook wasn't heavy duty enough you can easily drill one or two small holes and set appropriately sized scores in to permantely attach the hook to the shaft."
"I drilled a hole down thru the plastic threaded piece that was broken and reattached it to it's base with a long screw."
"Works great except the hook works loose during use...solved that with a screw to lock it on the threaded stub on the pole."
"This item got maybe 5 or 6 light uses and one day I was using it to pull the boat closer the dock (5ft maybe) and the lower left part of the plastic tip broke off."
"The threaded shaft part is very small (in diameter) in comparison to the metal pole, so there is no strength."
"Very flimsy ."

"Looking forward to using this more this summer to grab mooring balls single handed."
"We grabbed a mooring ball in Monroe harbor, Chicago last week-end, the previous year we fought with the ball to get attached since our boat has such a high freeboard ( bow to waterline ) it took us 45 minutes and lots of arm and joint pain to only end up calling the tender for assistance. The "Eye bolt" I had was not as big as the one on the mooring ball but if you attach the line by pushing instead of pulling on a smaller Eye Bolt it worked fine."
"This hook is amazing!"
"Broken in the first real use after home training."

Find Best Price at Amazon"(Read below if you're wanting to know what the purpose for doing these modifications). - The reason to retie the rope to the opposite end of the anchor and to place a zip tie at the original location is because doing so will give you a different angle to pull the anchor from should it get lodged somewhere. Ideally, if the anchor gets stuck, you can pull on the rope hard enough causing the zip tie to break and changing the angle your pulling at and hopefully dislodging the anchor."
"I also added a short length of galvanized chain between the anchor and line, to weight the arm down for setting a better fluke grip on the bottom, a lesson learned when I had a much larger 30' power boat and anchor."
"I took some advice I read online and attached the rope to the bottom of the anchor, then secured part of the rope to the top eyelet with a zip tie, so if it gets stuck under a rock or log you can break the zip tie and pull anchor up from the bottom, hopefully dislodging it."
"Took it out over the weekend, held a pretty heavy canoe ~80 lbs, and two adult men ~200 lbs/each just fine in ~2000 cfs of river flow (quite a bit for my area)."
"I still rated four stars because of the quality, and the fact that most lightweight anchors do need some chain attached."
"Works really well."
"Anchor part doesn't actually release/ spread out."
"Doesn't work particularly well."

"I would have given this 5 stars, but it did not come with the right hardware to install it."
"We bought this as a safety ladder to retrieve a man or woman overboard for our pile driving barge."
"I set it up so that the feet touch the bottom of the lake - on a couple of flat cement blocks, and the top is bolted to my dock in a few places."
"Easy to install."
"Good product but the packaging was poor quality - the UPS people tore it up because it was lightweight cardboard."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"It's excellent initial quality, but will fade and scuff over time if tossed around with anchors and other gear, and exposed to a lot of sun like mine are - which should totally be expected and should not diminish the value because you simply aren't going to find one that doesn't."
"I used it to attach to a flashlight so I can recover it if it goes over board off the boat."
"I use this float along with a crab line for my crab trap."
"This is exactly what I was looking for it and works great I do a lot of kayak fishing and heavy expensive scale that I take and did not want to lose in the water does work perfect for that."
"Bought a couple of these floats for my anchor lines."
"There is never a question where my anchor is underwater, no one will stub their toe or cut their foot!"

"Great short rope for quick dock tie off's."
"Never leave your boat in a slip overnight without a few of these, they will keep it from crashing into the dock when waves come up."

"Gave these as a gift and they appear to be well made."
"These are an awesome item for any boat."
"It's pretty good, the loops on the ends aren't large enough for large cleats like you find at municipal piers and public transient docks."
"The only lines I use on my bass boat and ocean boat."
