Question Anchor Trolley?

So as I'm doing research on rigging up my kayak I keep seeing people using a anchor trolley. what is it? why should I have one? and what are the pros and cons?
Thanks in advance.

Anchor trolleys are used for anchoring to the front...back...or side however you want to position yourself. They also can be used for a drift chute or also a stake out pole. I have one on my kayak and I love it!!!

What I did was to simply run a line from the bow to the stern with just enough slack so it goes along the side of my yak. Then I just drop anchor and loop it on a carbiner that I clip to the line. I can slide it to the front or back of the yak. Leave enough anchor line so that you can pull it back to you. Works great.
