Using a leash on any anchor is the most important part of the entire anchoring system. While some manufacturers may claim their anchor does not require a chain, decades of research and testing of the anchor have proven otherwise. These are usually lower quality anchors and are used by people rowing in kayaks or on smaller bodies of water where the force on the anchors is minimal and the use of a leash will not create a problem. make a lot of difference.

Why Anchor Chain is important?
Using chains on any anchor is the most important part of the entire anchoring system. While some manufacturers might claim their anchor does not require a chain, decades of anchoring research and testing prove otherwise. Typically these are low-grade anchors and used by boaters in kayaks, or on smaller bodies of water, where the forces on the anchors are minimal, and using a chain won’t make much of a difference.
Benefits:
The chain allows the anchor to set faster and more reliably by creating a downward pull on the anchor handle (also referred to as the shank).
Helps the rode to lie horizontally once set, rather than be pulled upward and loosen the anchor.
Protects your nylon line from debris or other sharp objects underwater that could potentially lead to a cut line, and losing an anchor.
Allows the breakaway release method to be utilized and minimizes the chance of losing an anchor stuck under something.
