Description:
A lead-free anchor that grabs the riverbed fast. The NRS Tornado Anchor (NRS item 50217.01) uses stacked, independently rotating steel blades that conform to the river bottom and dig in for a secure bite without excess dragging. Rescue boat crews and guides get a faster stop that also limits damage to river habitat. Shop more raft pumps, valves and repair gear and boat outfitting.
