Used Anchors & Ground Tackle

 

Anchorman..."He Saves Anchors!"

Doug has mastered the cold, deep, and intrepid waters of San Francisco Bay to bring you the finest selection of used ground tackle this side of the Mississippi...

...He has discovered the elephant graveyard for anchors. As you can expect, the condition of the anchors depends on the time of submersion and how the anchor was lost.

Many of our salvaged anchors are in excellent condition. We refurbish select anchors with hot dip galvanization for a "LIKE NEW" finish. Our anchors are offered to you on our eBay Store at Up To 50% Off retail. We also have a variety of Ground Tackle including used chain, hardware, etc. See out eBay Store for current selection.

Scroll to bottom of page for example anchors. Contact us or look at our eBay Store for current inventory.
