Its durable nylon storage case is padded for added protection and to dampen noise while the anchor is stowed.

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
The anchor is a solid product for a light boat or inflatable. I have yet to take it out on the water, but it seems to be well made. My only complaint is the collar that keeps the prongs from splaying out doesn't work too well. The carrying case is nicely padded and fits the entire length of rope without spilling out. Keep in mind the rope is hollow braid polypropylene. I swapped mine out for nylon and changed to a 50'length. 4/18/2010 UPDATE: Since purchasing in July of 2009 for a 11' inflatable boat, I've used the anchor 3 times. It was used in saltwater for 2-4 days at a time and thoroughly rinsed in fresh water each time. Well, this last trip out, it started slipping so I pulled up the anchor and the the 4 flukes had broken off. It wasn't heavy current at all, nor was it forcefully yanked upon. I'm going to look for another option.
