The Brilliant Freak Sports' 1.5kg Folding Anchor Kit – I'm new to kayak fishing and only recently bought my first kayak. In online research, I saw many recommendations to buy an anchor – if you are not sure you need one, trust me, it’s worth every penny and more. A random sequence of events eventually landed me at Freak Sports, to buy their 1.5kg Folding Anchor Kit. Now, having used it several times, specifically in the Bremer River, I can tell you it’s brilliant!

This anchor is pure Goldilocks. Spot-on weight. Kept me anchored firmly in place wherever I chose to fish the river. Caught every time, no recasting required.

The design is very practical too. Simple operating mechanism, a small round rotating metal disc to open or close. Compact, making it easy to store on the kayak or in the Ute. The bag is a bonus.

Have to comment on the quality of the materials used. I’m no expert, but the metal and its coating looks great to me. However, ropes I do know a thing or two about as some of the work I do involves climbing. The anchor rope is well-crafted, I find it to be the perfect diameter for easy handling, and I had no problems trusting it. I bought this kit for $44.95, down from $59.95. For the quality and functionality it offers, it’s a brilliant buy even at full price. But what impresses me even more is Freak Sports itself. The service is excellent! Down-to-earth, helpful, and straightforward. They know their stuff but have no hesitation in freely admitting it when they don’t. Being a newbie, this honesty and willingness to help is something I deeply appreciate.

Comparing this to my experiences at the chain stores, Freak Sports is a stand out. I've had mixed interactions at places like BCF Springfield, but at Freak Sports I was treated with respect and felt highly valued, not only as a customer but also a fellow kayaking enthusiast.

My first choice for future kayaking supplies is Freak Sports, hands down. Their combination of high quality gear, generous pricing, industry knowledge, honesty, and good old school customer service makes them a business I’m more than happy to support.

The likes of the big chains, eBay, and Amazon might at times offer cheaper prices, but if you can afford it then I encourage you to spend your money at Freak Sports. It’s worth it for the advice alone, but more importantly in doing so we enable Australian independent businesses to thrive. That’s good for all Australians, be they present ones or future ones. Need kayak supplies and or advice?
