The Original Brush Gripper Made in The USA. Securely Anchor Your Kayak, Canoe or Boats up to 22 feet in Seconds. The Harder You Pull The Tighter It Grips

Serves it's purpose. I have 4 of these all together for 2 different boats. First thing I do is replace the cord it comes with. It comes with very short cord, and I prefer much longer. I like to keep 1 on each side of the stern attached to cleats. When I get to a spot on the river, I attach stern to partially submerged tree with gripper on stern, let the line out and position boat to the angle I wanna be fishing from. Then I drop the anchor on the bow. The gripper on the stern in combination with the bow anchor keeps my boat still and in the orientation I want.

Took it out the package ran the cord through it put it around a 3 in dia tree leaned back and it pops right of every time. Welding clamps work much better and are much cheaper. Will be returning in the morning.

The Camo is actually flat olive drab and I guess the paracord tether is camo. Going on about a month of use on rivers and along mangrove banks in the saltwater flats. Sturdy, works fine. The paracord tether install is a loop around the inner clamp handles and jaws section such that tension forces the jaws tighter ... which, in turn, leaves the paracord line somewhat awkwardly hanging there from jaw to jaw when they are opened. The tether needs to be installed loosely so it doesn't interfere with the jaw operation. You can see this in the listing photos. I do not currently have the Gripper on the anchor trolley; that is doable, but with a longer tether ymmv. Overall, by replacing a traditional anchor in many conditions, it is both the stealthiest method to secure my fishing kayak and quickest method of connect/disconnect. I also use it with my eight-foot anchor pin in areas devoid of surface brush.

I ended up using this way more than my traditional mushroom anchor. This brush anchor allows me to cover water much faster because it only takes a second to attach and detach. The traditional anchor still has its place, but its pain if you're still looking for a spot and have to pull up and drop frequently. This is perfect for bayous and areas with overhanging vegetation. I would recommend buying additional paracord to make the line a bit longer though. I've had to miss anchoring to some good spots because the branch was a couple inches too high. I get why they included the shorter paracord, you get blown around less, but I'd rather have a longer line that I can tie off to the length I want. Otherwise perfect, I plan on buying more.

Looks and feels pretty heavy duty. I like the idea of the way it was designed. When force is applied, not only does the line cinch around the object it's attached to but after it's cinched as far as it can go, the jaws will tighten. So you're not relying on the spring tension or having to manually drive the jaws into the object. It's a simple, clamp and go. Only thing I worry about is if the object, say a tree limb, is just small enough to fit the jaws around. Once it cinches down and drives the jaws in, getting it off the limb will be interesting. Obviously the answer is don't use too big of an object but what if that's the only thing around? Anyways, fantastic design. I like that it has so many colors. I chose orange for visibility.

Can’t believe I didn’t get one of these sooner. These are incredibly strong and you don’t need much for them to grip onto.I use this ten times more than my 2 1/2lb. anchor in my kayak.

This is perfect for holding your place facing a bank into the wind, or hook to your trolley, and turn like you are in river current on anchor. Works perfectly, in fact I prefer it to actual anchoring whenever possible.

Brush Gripper is a genious invention! We have 2 inflatable SUP boards so we invested in an anchor and the Brush Gripper. Anchor is cool when you are in the middle of the lake, but if you are looking for a fast and easy way to grab on to something this is the product for you. Easy to hook up, i put a carabiner to the bottom of the rope to make fastening it to the boards convenient. To our delight, on one trip we spotted a sunken picnic table few feet down and were able to use the brush gripper on the corner of the top, which allowed us to chill and hang out relatively close to shore without any grass nearby. My husband and I will be enjoying some nice lake adventures thanks to the brush gripper and all the nifty gear that is out there to make your life easy.
