Advantages: Design, Durability, High Quality, Value for money
"I use this anchor in a 7ft dinghy fishing on lakes and ponds. The 8# anchor has enough holding power for two adults plus motor and gear. Great holding power in weed or mud bottoms, even in a brisk wind (10-20kts). The anchor coating ensures it will last as long as you do, but I would recommend using a shackle to save your anchor line and prevent premature wear of the coating in the eyelet."

20# anchor,April 19, 2009
By wfordfrom Texas
Advantages: Design, Durability
"I have been using this style of anchor for years now. I started using a small one 10# for my 18' Nitro F/S. Needless to say it didn't hold very well but I changed to a 20# and this works very well. Even in the brush it dosen't hang up. The mud dosent stick too bad and the drain holes prevent dragging water into the boat."

With added chain, this anchor is fine,March 13, 2008
By fishfanfrom IL
"I use the 18# version of this anchor on my 18' deep V bow rider, and with a 3' length of chain attached to it, it really holds well in fairly rough water. I keep my boat on a very busy pleasure boat lake, and the sandbars on Saturdays get pretty whipped up, and this anchor holds tight.
I was told to always use a length of chain with an anchor to get it to lay down and dig in right. I've since done a lot of reading on the subject, and adding the chain is the right way to go. Simply tying a rope to your anchor, allows it to achive only about 3/4 of it's holding power. Also, if you use a chain with your anchor, you could possibly go down to the next smaller anchor weight and get the same results.
This anchor is a smaller profile anchor that is easy to store in the smallest of stow areas. It has excellent holding power, but it scoops up the muck bad, and then you have to jerk the anchor up and down in the water to try and get it all clean. The drain holes will continue to drip mud all over my deck, even after the muck is gone. I always have to clean up after this anchor. This is the reason for the 4 stars. Holds tight, but hard to clean if used on a muck bottom."
