Best Answer

The "stock" of old kedge anchors is bent on one end for easier storage. The stock was usually held in place by a pin. Once the pin was removed, you would pull the stock through the hole until the bent end would allow it to lay flat against the body or "shank". Then the anchor could lay flat on the deck.
