The cable ties need to be about 6mm wide and twice wrapped through the chain inline with the top hole on the anchor shank. It works, we all do it.👍👍

100% agree with Graham Unless you can afford to keep replacing anchors Some cable ties online seem to have a strength rating. choose larger and stronger ones. I use three of a size that I can just get tree through the chain link.

Don't change the anchor set up, change the cable ties. I was out a couple of weeks ago and didn't have any ties so I used some 100lb line. It worked fine. Ive now got ties on it again.

During my last visit I’ve had complete success with the Alderney set up on the retrieval proves .. however I keep on snapping the breakaway tie wraps off .. I’m not sure if this is due to anchor releases on the sea floor or going through the ring and snapping them or just cheap things from Amazon… not sure how you’d select good quality tie wraps? Im contemplating forgetting the tie wraps completely as been reading up that if you go backwards over a trapped anchor it will invariably free itself anyway and it can be dangerous having an anchor that can release due to tie wraps breaking???
