will it work for an 8 foot canoe or so on a small pond? How big is the actual anchor piece itself?

It's 12 or so inches long and it will work for an 8ft kayak. It works in my 10 ft in 3-5 ft seas here in Hawaii.

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.

Yes it should be but also depends on where you will be using it(lake, or river). Different type of anchors work better in certain situations. Keep in mind wind can also play a factor if you are trying to anchor and stay in one spot.

I have 2 of them and they are both the 15LB. model.I purchased one and liked the holding power they offer and the feature where the weeds can easily be shed from them by giving the anchor line a quick jerk which my more expensive Danforth anchors don't offer so I purchased a second one.I use these anchors on my 29 Ft powerboat.One I set off the bow and the other I set off the stern.The Digger company does offer a 10 and 12LB. model so if your boat is smaller you may want to consider them.

I am not sure weight size, but the strap should be big enough. We used it around our double kyack which is about 31"Wide and it has held all winter. We only put it up last fall, so I hope it will still work for years to come, but I can't tell you it will for sure. We bought two sets and it works equally well around our other kayak.

I believe the weight rating on this hoist is ~500lbs. The straps are long and would easily fit around a 3' wide boat. I think it would work splendidly with your canoe.

I would say that depends. This anchor will suffice on a rocky bottom, but may not set on certain bottom types and a 24 ft boat could pull this off. My boat is also 24 ft, and I find using two anchors generally works best - one hook anchor and one river anchor. I have them tied together in a "V" with about 4 ft. of chain, then tied to my anchor line. They kind of fight each other and ensure that my anchors are always set. Even two of these would work, but on sandy bottoms they just won't set (which is why I use a river anchor as my second).

Yes, this will work in a lake. The anchors are small bags you load with rocks which you tie to the net. The materials are strong. Ours lasted the entire summer and is stored for use next season.

I use it for a 16ft fiberglass canoe. Can load and unload by myself pretty easy

this anchor works great with my 16' canoe in calm water, even with a little wind.

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

I can't guarantee it - but, I don't see why it wouldn't work.I use a 10lb mushroom anchor for lake fishing, from my inflatable pontoon - I can raise and lower it easily and I think you would be able to raise and lower a 15lb river anchor. But, if you are fishing, with a river anchor, in a swift current - and get hung up, you would likely have to cut your anchor line - so, be sure you have a blunt-point, survival knife readily available - to cut the rope and NOT puncture your inflatable.

Just ran down to the beach and measured my stands: 15 inches wide. Not knowing the measurements of your canoe, am guessing it would work if you place your canoe so each stand is under a seat. My kayak's beam is 28 inches and I store it, hull side up, on the stands with no problem.

I don't think so. I really think this is best suited for a kayak. That happens to be what i use if for. It may depend on how flat the bottom of your canoe is.

It is best suited as a boat anchor. Don't waste your money. Go with a Visioneer instead.

Tammy,Yes it will work, however it works even better when anchored. Best Regards,David H

I don't have access to my boat right now to measure it accurately, but I believe it is around three feet long. I use it on my 17' boat and it is fine for that size boat.
