Nylon stretches to soak up shock loads from wakes and wind, and it resists rot, fuel, and marine growth. A simple, proven rode for smaller boats in protected water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn anchor line is one of those pieces of gear you don't think about until the wind picks up and you really need it. This is the Attwood 11707-7, a 50-foot length of 3\/8-inch solid braid nylon rope with a snap hook already fitted on the end. It's white, it's simple, and it does exactly what an anchor rode should. It holds your boat where you dropped the hook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's why nylon matters. When you're anchored and a wake rolls through, or the breeze pipes up and your bow starts hunting, the line takes a sudden jolt every time the boat surges back against it. Nylon stretches. That stretch absorbs the shock load instead of passing it straight through to your anchor and your bow cleat. Attwood calls nylon the strongest rope they build, and it's the fiber the marine industry has trusted for anchor and dock lines for a long time. A stiff line would snatch and jerk at everything. This one gives a little, then settles back down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe construction is solid braid. That's a tight, round weave that stays smooth in your hand and feeds cleanly in and out of an anchor locker. It doesn't have the loose lay of a three-strand twist, so it's less fussy to coil and less likely to kink up on you when you're paying it out in a hurry. Round, firm, and easy to grip even when it's wet. For a boater who just wants the anchor to go over the side without a wrestling match, that matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe snap hook is the part you'll appreciate every time you set the hook. Instead of tying and picking apart a knot at the anchor on every trip, you clip the hook onto the anchor's shackle or ring and you're done. Pull it later and unclip. It saves your fingers on cold mornings, and it means the connection is the same every single time, no half-remembered knot to second-guess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNylon also shrugs off most of what lives around the water. This line is resistant to rot, oils, gasoline, grease, marine growth, and most chemicals, so a little fuel slick at the dock or a summer sitting damp in the locker won't chew it up. The white color keeps it easy to see against dark water when you're feeding it out at dusk, and it doesn't bleed dye onto a clean deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat's it good for? Fifty feet of 3\/8-inch line is a sensible rode for smaller boats anchoring in protected water. Dinghies, jon boats, small runabouts, a pontoon on a calm lake. Remember that anchoring works on scope, the ratio of line to water depth, and you generally want five to seven feet of rode for every foot of depth. So in ten feet of water, most of this line is already in play. If you routinely anchor deeper, or in current and chop, size up to a longer rode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan you run it as a dock line in a pinch? Yes. It's the same nylon fiber marinas use for docking, and the stretch that makes it a good anchor line also makes it easy on your cleats at the slip. Keep a length aboard as a spare and you've got a backup for more jobs than just the anchor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne honest note on sizing. Rope diameter should match your boat and your ground tackle, so if you're rigging a heavier boat or anchoring somewhere exposed, step up in thickness. For a light boat in sheltered water, though, 3\/8-inch is a proven, no-drama choice, and Attwood has been building marine gear for over a hundred years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch solid braid nylon holds a smooth, round profile that feeds cleanly through an anchor locker and grips well in hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e50-foot length gives a workable rode for smaller boats anchoring in protected water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSnap hook already fitted, so you clip straight to your anchor shackle with no knot to tie\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNylon fiber stretches to absorb shock loads from wakes and wind instead of jolting your anchor and cleats\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eResistant to rot, oils, gasoline, grease, marine growth, and most chemicals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWhite color stays easy to see against dark water and won't bleed dye onto the deck\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDoubles as a spare dock line as well as an anchor rode\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAttwood marine hardware, backed by more than 100 years of building boat gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Attwood Marine reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat is this anchor line made of?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's solid braid nylon.
