Box anchor & 6 feet of chain. Never had a problem with it not digging.

Clark fyi; you don't need chain with a box anchor, in fact they tell ya not to use any.

Thanks for all the info - I went ahead and bought the 25-30 lb. box or slide anchor.

I'll be on Lake Coer d'Alene in Idaho all next week to try it out.

My danforth would not hold very well. In reading up on anchors, I discovered that an anchor chain is extremely important in helping the anchor do its thing. So, I added a six foot chain and it's held every time, all the time.

But, I'd love a box anchor because I know they'll hold in almost ANY conditions.

That's true for most anchors except the box anchor. It's designed to NOT use a chain.

I hava a danforth with chain and it's sitting in my garage and it will stay there, what a POS! Just my opinion mind you.

What did you search for on Craigslist and where?

Understood on a box anchor not requiring a chain. I'll get one someday. Send me your address and I'll send you my danforth once that happens.

Really? Didn't know that. Box anchor actually got stuck this weekend at the bottom of Lake Don Pedro. We actually had to swing the boat around to get it free. Love the box anchor. Small, collapsible and easy to store.

That's probably because Don Pedro is extremely muddy and it's like glue. I'm at Don Pedro every other weekend through the summer to include last weekend as well and i have to be over the top of the anchor or passed over for it to release as it's designed to do.
