I fish lakes and rivers from mud to hard marl and or gravel. My present anchors - full mushroom - don't hold on drop offs or in windy conditions even with a good length of rope out.

It holds me on any kind of bottom. I really like this anchor.Answers
A:
I have the 18 - 20 lb one for a 2400lb. 18' fiberglass bowrider. I called the manufacturer and they told me that this one although heavier, is only an inch or so bigger in diameter than the small one. I was concerned about storage space, and since it was not much bigger I went with 18 - 20.Details:
I have a 16 foot lund deep v - should I use two 20 lb anchors forward and aft??Answers
A:
I have a 20lb anchor for the bow and keep a 15lb anchor for the stern. I'm sure you could use 20lb anchors for both, but I initially had th 15lb anchor and then bought the 20lb anchor. My boat is a 16' Lowe A160S and the anchors work well in Washington State where my son and I fish for trout in water of appx. 20-25' and soft bottoms.
A:
I have the same boat and have found that if you want to anchor and fish in windy conditions you will need 20lb anchors fore and aft to hold the boat. This is because the boat sits high in the water and has a lot of the hull exposed to the wind. Be sure to let out a lot of anchor rope to reduce the angle of the rope as this helps the anchors to hold better.Answers

You could probably use a chain, but I use this anchor with an anchor rope and have had no problems after 3 years of use
A:
The anchors do not come with either a chain or rope, but will require one or the other.Answers

A:
Only advice I can give is make sure you have enough slack out so you are not on top of your anchor. I have used this anchor for three years now and rarely have problems holding unless in extreme conditions. I have even pulled up 5-10lbs of mud on my anchor numerous times after unachoring. "if that is even a word"Details:
I have a fluke type anchor now with four feet of chain and that thing does not work worth two cents. Tried to anchor yesterday over a spot hole along with several other boats in strong current. Anchor would not catch, slid back into another boat caused him to come unstuck and run into another boat, it was terrible.Answers

Sorry about your collision, but I don't see why this anchor wouldn't work inshore. I have used this anchor on flats off the ICW in NC and in the Roanoke River and never had problems holding. If you fish windy or strong current areas I would get the heaviest anchor you can get away with.1 of 1
