Thanks,I was just in there the other day and didnt see it.Ill have to look a little harder next time.
March 8, 2009 at 3:23 pm #756077Our farm and fleet carry it in large rolls. You can cut what you need.
March 8, 2009 at 4:19 pm #756092I’ve never found it at Cabela’s…and I’ve asked. Also had no luck at Sportsman’s Warehouse, Gander Mountain, or Northern Tool. I ended up with uncoated galvanized chain because I needed a chain and couldn’t find coated. I plan on running it through a bike innertube this year.

I’m fairly certain that you can get rubber coated chain (as well as rope and quality river anchors) at my favorite walleye pro-shop: Everts Resort.
Call Dean to make sure….715-792-2333.
Last fall I asked Dean to start stocking the rubber coated chain because it was so easy on the boat…sounded like he just ordered it some this morning!Shoot him a pm or give him a ring to ensure I did hear him correctly.
March 8, 2009 at 8:14 pm #756162I stoped at Cabelas in Rogers again and they still dont have any Ill give Dean a call in a day or 2 to see if he is getting any in.Might be a good reason to drag the boat down to RW for a day or so Thanks

March 8, 2009 at 10:03 pm #756197I could also order it off of Cabelas website but that trip to RW sounds better I thought about wrapping it or using a hose but I want it more flexible and easier to stow and also avoid any rust bleeding out on the carpet.Also if Dean gets a spool I can buy any length I want although I think somewhere between 4-5 foot shoud do.Im also going to upgrade to a coated anchor to avoid rust spots in the boat.
March 9, 2009 at 12:50 am #756235Something I found to keep rust off the carpet is a frisbee.
The kind you toss around. Just set it on the deck and put the anchor on it to dry. I leave mine there but I know some guys store theirs below deck after they dry.
March 9, 2009 at 1:10 pm #756312You can also cut off the botton 1.5 to 2 inches off a 5 gallon bucket. The lip on the bottom will keep it from sliding. Cheaper than a frisbee too!

How are you guys connecting the chain to the anchor?
I use these. Found them at Cabela’s.
March 9, 2009 at 4:24 pm #756401I use these for attaching my anchor and also on other things like drift socks etc.Available at any hardware store.Also can get them in stainless steel.
March 9, 2009 at 4:29 pm #756405Careful with those. I have heard of ropes getting double-backed and releasing the anchors.

I’ve done it.
March 9, 2009 at 5:17 pm #756425Im sure it can happen but I have used these for years and never lost one yet.Maybe just lucky.I have also thought about sliding on a piece of rubber tubing that will slide back and forth over the joint just for added protection.
