The story of Anchor-Man is really the story of a love of fishing — about the passion that sport flares up in some of us. This is why we began selling box anchors. Today, according to the American Sportfishing Association, there are over 60 million anglers in the U.S. alone. 46 million are active in the sport, fishing at least once to twice a year and going out in the water for hours on end. Fishing is a growing industry and one that, according to the Wall Street Journal, is bound to have a huge increase as people start to connect more and more with nature. Anchor-man was born from those numbers, from the need the sport demanded of easy-to-understand initiative tools for a nation ravenous with the sport. For landlubbers that had never once gone out on the water, wanting a quick easy fix for anchoring their boat.
