Anchor Hitch Details
Found in: Arborist, Boating, Hitches
Also known as: Fisherman’s Hitch
Uses: The Anchor Hitch or Anchor Bend, (ABOK # 1841, p 309) is also known as the Fisherman’s Hitch or Fisherman’sBend. It is an excellent knot to use for attaching an anchor line to an anchor. You should refer to a knot that attaches rope to an object as a hitch based on logical reasoning. But, the name Bend derives from a time when it covered “tied to” and was not restricted to joining two ropes.
Comparison: The Anchor Hitch is quite like the Round Turn and Two Half Hitches. They are so similar that it’s unclear if one knot is better than the other. This is partly because when someone secures an anchor line with either knot, they often add one or two extra Half Hitches. Many would also seize the tail of The Anchor Hitch to the standing end for more security..
