Product Description

Lewmar 8-plaited nylon anchor rodes combine heavy-duty G4 chain leaders with premium 8-braided strand nylon rope, offering superior handling characteristics over traditional 3-strand ropes. The 8-plait design relaxes when slack but firms under load, matching 3-strand tensile strength with less stretch, no coiling or "birds nesting," and resistance to twisting, knotting, or looping. More absorbent for better locker stacking and 80% less stiffening in saltwater, these rodes require initial soaking for optimal windlass performance, outperforming 3-strand as they break in.

Key Features

• 8 individual braided strands for load-responsive firmness

• Matches 3-strand strength with reduced stretch and hockling

• Superior flaking, no coiling or nesting in anchor lockers

• Higher water absorption improves settling and handling

• Less saltwater stiffening (80% better than 3-strand)

• Pre-soak recommended to prevent initial slippage/sticking
