This is a pretty good PVC dry bag. The material is thicker than more lightweight dry bags so hopefully that means it'll hold up. I'm not using it as a sand anchor but I am storing about 15 lb of equipment in it.Seems like a good value.

Such a simple and functional design for a 2nd point of contact for a small boat anchor! Perfect for my kayak! Small, portable, and long rope for deep water. Overall I'm very happy with this dry bag for an anchor!

This was the best vacation tip I have ever seen! Lightweight, easy to pack and easy to wash off. We used this every single day on our beach vacation and it kept our floats in place. Easy to bring in and out of the water! Couldn’t recommend this more!

This holds a 40lb bag of play sand just right. I used it to anchor a set of stairs in an aboveground pool. The build quality is good, and as far as I can tell, is waterproof. I like the blue color because it doesn't stand out on my pool.

This style of anchor is great if you have a PWC. This anchor is great for beaching, but it also is great for shallow water anchoring. Since we don't anchor our PWC that frequently, this product won't bang around in your storage compartment and cause damage like a solid anchor can. It can be filled with sand, but if that is not available, rocks from shore will do the job. This dry bag is pretty good size and good value for the money. We also use similar products to anchor down a swimming pad that we use at the lake. Many purposes and nice to have.

The product description mentioned using this to anchor your jet ski. I'm not sure this product could do that kind of job, but I'm thinking about using this for something else, anyway. I live in a city with a lake where people jump in the water in the summer with their floaties and have a great time. The problem is that the wind will make you drift all the time, so you need to be treading constantly to stay in your area. I'm thinking about using this to anchor myself. However, the rope might not be long enough because the lake is rather deep. Let's see what happens. I'm not taking any points off for this because it was in the description. Otherwise, this looks like it's good quality and durable.

Item: Phoncoo store’s 20-liter volume Sand Boat Anchor BagPrice: $16.99Just receiving the anchor-bag, I was interested in seeing its size when ‘un-filled’ rather than filled. I say that as storing it unfilled, at least in a small boat with limited storage space, makes more sense than leaving it filled. The Phoncoo touts a capacity of 20 liters (of sand). While sand is the obvious fill material here, any ‘non-oxidizing’ material that can be used to fill the bag would work. And while I didn’t see this on the vendor page, I believe that 1-liter of dry silica sand weight about 3-1/2 to 3-3/4 pounds. The vendor page includes 50-pounds as the weight limit. So while the volume of the bag could maybe be filled with 60 or more pounds of sand, it’s obviously not recommended. But for my purposes, and in my smaller 12-foot hull fishing boat, this is a perfect alternative to my conventional cast metal anchors that ‘hook on the bottom’. It’s easy and lighter to store. And it can be filled with just about any weighty objects, including small (smooth) stone material, available at hardware stores. Stones and rocks don’t absorb moisture/water, and are easier and cleaner to use as a fill material. And if you planned on reusing your ‘fill material’, they wash off clean and dry out better than sand.Every feature I read about on the vendor page regarding the wide mouth for filling and the easy ‘fold over’ of the opening to seal off the bag makes sense. I do have small conventional boat anchors that will ‘catch’ on the bottom. But in many situations in the shallows, I prefer an anchor that relies solely on weight to keep my small 12-ft hull from drifting. So while not the answer to all anchoring situations, as a fishing anchor in a light craft, this is really a good option.

I love to paddle board, and sometimes I have done yoga on a paddle board or decide I just want to stay in one place out on the water without floating away. This 20L Sand Anchor Bag with Adjustable Buoy Waterproof Dry Bag for Jetski, Kayak, Boat, Water Sports in Blue works as an anchor in relatively shallow water (the braided cord is 12 feet) to keep you in one area instead of floating out with the current or ending up in a another area where you don't want to be. Great for stopping to eat or drink, or to get a tan, or to practice yoga on your board. It can also be used as a dry bag if you don't want to use it as a sand bag/anchor. It holds up to 50 lbs of sand. A useful product and a good deal at the pricepoint. Comes in bright blue or bright yellow and you can get it as a single back or twin pack. Just fill it with sand, roll the bag down a few times, and use the stainless steel buckle to secure the sandbag to the rope. One end clips on the sandbag, the other end clips on your kayak or jetski or paddle board. Definitely a good tool to have with you at all times out on the water.
