A clean bow-anchor setup for kayaks with a vertical front handle.
Typical delivery times range from 5 to 7 days
Anchoring from the front of a kayak is easier when the anchor line has a dedicated deployment point at the bow. The YakGadget QuickStop Front Anchor System (Vertical Handle) installs at the existing vertical handle location and adds a rolling pulley for deploying and retrieving an anchor.

Once installed at the front handle location, the rolling pulley gives the anchor line a defined path at the bow for deployment and retrieval. This keeps the anchoring point at the front of the kayak while allowing you to choose the mushroom, ball, or other suitable anchor that matches how and where you fish.
Use the QuickStop to turn a compatible vertical-handle location into a purpose-built bow anchoring setup without adding a separate mounting point.
This version is designed for a kayak with a vertical front handle. It installs at that handle's existing mounting holes, so confirm your kayak uses the vertical-handle configuration before selecting this version.
Remove the existing vertical handle, position the QuickStop over the handle holes, replace the handle, and fasten the assembly using the provided longer screws.
YakGadget recommends a mushroom or ball anchor. The rolling pulley is used to deploy and retrieve the anchor line from the front of the kayak.
No. The anchor is sold separately, so you can select the anchor that suits your intended anchoring setup.
