Fortress FX-85 - Fluke

The Fortress FX-85 - Fluke is a premium marine anchor engineered for serious boaters and anglers who demand reliability in variable conditions. After years on the water, seasoned mariners know that anchor choice directly impacts safety, comfort, and confidence when holding position. The Fortress FX-85 - Fluke addresses the need for an anchor that performs consistently across sand, mud, grass, and mixed bottoms—the exact conditions encountered from coastal estuaries to open bays.

The fluke design of the Fortress FX-85 - Fluke maximizes holding power through angular displacement and deep-bite geometry, a proven principle that has made fluke-style anchors the choice of experienced captains worldwide. Weighing 1 pound, this anchor delivers exceptional holding-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for vessels that need to minimize weight while maintaining secure anchorage. The fluke profile cuts cleanly through bottom composition and resists breaking free during tide changes or wind shifts, critical attributes when drifting or fishing in tight quarters where repositioning is costly or dangerous.

The Fortress FX-85 - Fluke suits center-console fishing boats, bay cruisers, sailboats, and tender vessels operating in shallow to moderate depths. It performs best when deployed with adequate scope—a 7:1 or greater ratio of rode length to water depth—ensuring the shank seats at the proper angle for optimal fluke penetration. Both recreational anglers and commercial operators rely on this anchor type for daily deployment cycles where speed and dependability matter equally.
