Be smart, make sure you can cut yourself loose from an anchor in 2 seconds.

Tight lines. Matt
I have watched many Youtube videos on how people have made quick release tools for anchors. I agree with you 100% about keeping my brains with me.

I'm not a huge fan of anchoring period, but I do see where it can be a good thing if done right and done smart. When I saw your post about keeping a sharp knife with me, it answered a lot of questions.

Believe me my life is way more important than a stupid little anchor.
