HWH Eight Strand Anchor Rode

The HWH Eight Strand Anchor Rode is a ready-to-use anchor line with chain (also called an 8-plait anchor rode or windlass rode). It pairs eight-strand plaited nylon line with galvanized windlass chain. The line and chain are professionally hand-spliced together, so the rode is ready to connect to your anchor.

Key Features:

• 8-plait nylon line: high-tenacity twisted twill nylon with a heat-sealed bitter end.
• Compact stowage: the plaited construction lays down more compactly in the anchor locker than traditional 3-strand line.
• Shock absorption: 8-plait nylon absorbs shock loads well.
• Galvanized chain: Grade 43 high-test, ISO-calibrated, hot-dip galvanized windlass chain for corrosion resistance and smooth feeding.
• Hand-spliced transition: the line-to-chain splice is made to run through a windlass.
• Depth markers: preinstalled reinforced PVC depth markers help you gauge how much rode is deployed.
• Anchor shackle: includes a Type IV Grade A hot-dip galvanized anchor shackle.

The chain section adds weight at the anchor. This helps keep a low angle of pull and protects the line from abrasion on the bottom. It suits boaters who want a dependable, windlass-compatible anchoring setup. Choose the variant with the line and chain lengths that suit your boat and anchoring conditions.
