Fortress FX-85 - Mud Palm Set - Pair

The Fortress FX-85 Mud Palm Set is a pair of specialized anchor flukes designed for boaters and anglers who regularly deploy ground tackle in soft-bottom environments. After years on the water, you know that anchor holding power directly correlates to safety—whether you're fishing shallow bays, holding position in tidal rivers, or anchoring overnight in protected coves. The mud palm design specifically addresses the challenge of achieving secure purchase in silty, clay-heavy, and muddy substrates where conventional anchors can slip or rotate without warning.

Fortress Marine Anchors engineered the mud palm fluke geometry to maximize surface area contact with soft bottom material, creating superior suction and load distribution. The palm design—a flat, wide fluke configuration—cuts through mud layers and plants itself firmly without requiring excessive weight or scope. This engineering approach means lighter displacement in the anchor locker, easier handling for solo operators, and faster set times, even in challenging conditions where traditional flukes might struggle to penetrate dense mud or clay.

This pair works best for vessels in the small-to-medium displacement range, providing redundancy for your anchor system so you can maintain a primary and backup ground tackle setup without carrying oversized equipment. Whether you're a serious angler who anchors for extended bottom fishing sessions, a cruiser who frequents river anchorages, or a weekend boater who needs confidence in soft-holding grounds, the Fortress FX-85 Mud Palm Set delivers reliable holding performance where it matters most. Compatible with standard Fortress anchor systems and shafts, these flukes are a direct replacement or upgrade for existing gear.
