Easily installed on the stern of kayaks without rudders, the Premium Stinger Stern Mount anchor system obsoletes the old fashioned weight and rope. To use the Stinger, stop the boat, uncleat the rope and lower the Stinger until the telescoping tip rests on the bottom. The weight of the Stinger tip holds the boat in position. Because of its light weight, lifting the Stinger is incredibly easy with our pulley and cleat system and can be done with one hand. The Stinger is ultra-light, silent, precise, clean, silt-less, snag-less, and ecological. It works in the variety of currents, bottom composition, winds, tides, etc., in depths up to 4 feet, with options up to 6 feet. The Stinger is easy to install, easy to use, has few moving parts and is made of anodized aluminum and stainless steel. More importantly, it's a pleasure to use! Remember – Don’t anchor….Stinger!
