Why buy from Greenfield
Holding America's boats since 1959
- USA-made, USA-coated anchor and chain
- Coated by Greenfield Products in Greenfield, Ohio
- Family-owned American manufacturer since 1959
The kit's fluke anchor and chain are made and coated in the USA; the kit also includes anchor line and shackles.
Best for
- Sand and mud bottoms
- Lakes, bays, and slow rivers
- Boats in the runabout-to-pontoon range (see size guide)
- Boaters who want the whole setup in one box
Built for sand and mud
Fluke anchors are the gold standard for sand and mud: the flukes knife in and the harder you pull, the deeper they set. That covers most lakes, bays, and slow rivers.
Not for
- Anchoring mostly in rock, timber, or heavy weed
- Kayaks, paddleboards, and PWC — you want a lighter anchor
- Permanent mooring — no recreational anchor kit is
In the box
What’s included
Coated fluke anchor (made & coated in USA)
Penetrates sand and mud, with a slip-ring design that helps you retrieve it without a wrestling match.
Coated anchor chain (made & coated in USA)
Chain weight keeps the pull on the anchor low and flat, so the flukes dig in instead of skipping along the bottom.
100 ft anchor line
Enough rode to anchor properly in typical lake and bay depths — not a courtesy coil.
Shackles
Rigged and ready. Nothing else to buy at the marina store.
Two kits. Pick by boat size and conditions.
Smaller kit (6 lb anchor)
Runabouts, jon boats, and small fishing boats — roughly the 'tow it behind the SUV' class.
For boats up to 16 feet.
Larger kit (11 lb anchor)
Full-size fishing boats, deck boats, and pontoons in the low-20-foot range.
For boats up to 22 feet.
Wind, current, and bottom type matter as much as length. If you anchor in strong current or frequent chop, size up — or look at our Richter kit, built for exactly that.
The 30-second anchoring lesson most boaters never get
An anchor doesn't hold because it's heavy. It holds because it digs in — and it can only dig if the pull comes in low and flat along the bottom.
Two things make that happen. Chain at the anchor end weighs the pull down. Line length (boaters call it scope) keeps the angle shallow: the working rule is about 7 feet of line for every foot of depth, measured from your bow cleat to the bottom.
Quick math: in 8 feet of water with a 2-foot bow height, that's roughly 70 feet of line. That's why this kit includes 100 feet — enough to anchor properly, not just enough to reach the bottom.
Short-lining an anchor pulls it upward and drags it. Give it room, and it sets harder the more the wind pushes you.
Fluke, Richter, or River? Pick the right kit the first time.
| Compare | Fluke Kit (this page) | Richter Kit | River Kit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best bottom | Sand, mud | Rocks, mud, weeds, sand | Soft/moderate, structure |
| Duty | Light/medium | High performance | Medium |
| Retrieval | Easy (slip-ring) | Easiest (patented release) | Standard |
| Line needed | Most (7:1 scope) | Least (4:1) | Moderate (5:1) |
| Price position | Value | Premium | Mid |
If you mostly anchor in sand or mud, you're on the right page. Mixed or rocky bottoms are worth the step up to Richter.

Why Greenfield
We've been making anchors in Ohio since 1959 — long enough to know that most 'bad anchor' stories are really bad setup stories. So we don't just sell you an anchor; we put the chain, the line, and the shackles in the box and show you how to use them. The anchor and chain are made and coated in the USA, in our own Greenfield, Ohio coating operation. Family-owned, and still holding America's boats.
Product questions
Do I need to add anything to this kit?
No — anchor, chain, line, and shackles are included and matched. You just need a cleat to tie to.
Why does the kit include so much line?
Anchors hold best when the line is long enough to keep the pull low — about 7 ft of line per foot of depth. 100 ft covers typical lake and bay anchoring with room to spare.
Do fluke anchors really need chain?
Yes, and that's why it's in the box. Chain weighs down the pull angle so the flukes dig in instead of skating.
Will it hold in rocks or heavy weeds?
That's not a fluke anchor's home turf. For rock, weed, and mixed bottoms, see the Richter Anchor Kit — it's built for exactly that.
Is the kit made in the USA?
The fluke anchor and coated chain are made and coated in the USA — coating is done at Greenfield Products in Greenfield, Ohio. The kit also includes anchor line and shackles.
What size kit do I need?
Pick by boat size class and conditions in the size guide above — and size up if you anchor in current or wind.
