Hey guys
Does anyone have any recommendations on stern anchor bags? I’m looking for something heavy duty with good stitching. I’ve looked on defender.com but wasn’t overly impressed with what I found for the application.

Re: Heavy duty Stern anchor bag
I'd also be interested to hear what others have come up with. In the past I've made my own out of various synthetic heavy canvas with webbing around it and a drawstring at the end. A mesh material like Phifertex® Standard Vinyl Mesh Grey 54" Fabric is better to allow the wet rode to dry. People use it to make their own lee cloths and I assume it's strong enough to hold the nylon rode and some chain.

If you're not going to make your own then the large West Marine anchor rode bag Model # 9208265 is what I've used in recent years. It works good for my Jordan Series Drogue as well.

I like the Phifertex material a lot and think long-term that would be the way to go. I've used just a regular duffle bag with a zipper enclosure and that's done the job fairly well while being easy to move around. Also, in a pinch, a plastic bucket.
