Settle an argument re: anchors

[haknslash]

Agree with the others.

Clay, mud and silt bottoms here as well. Box anchor will hold like a champ in it! Actually if it’s rough out or in stiff current you might think your anchor is trapped under a tree when you try and pull it up lol. It sticks that good in mud and clay bottoms!

The only time I have it struggle to hold is in small pebble rock bottoms in rough conditions. Then again aside from a massive Mantis anchor lol I don’t know what would stick in those conditions. If it’s too rough in that cove or too exploded to the main channel in those fine pebble or rock bottoms then I move to a more calm or secluded cove and it holds fine.

Only time I used a mushroom anchor was when I had a jet ski. It sucked because all it does is bob up and down since there is nothing to dig into the bottom. Previous boat we used a Danforth style and it struggled to hold and always favored rolling to one side making the flukes marginally effective at best.

Get yourself a box. It will hold especially in mud, clay and silt bottoms!!
