Like vinyl Coating - helps keep crud & mud out of boat. Wish the coating was red other than that perfect, better hold than a mushroom - great stern "lunch hook"

Rated 5 out of 5Â by svsmithinc Good anchor
I live & fish on Lake Barkley, a very big TVA lake formed by daming the Cumberland river. The Lake has a pretty good current & mostly a soft muddy bottom. This anchor works very well for these conditions & will hold my 18 foot aluminum fishing boat in most all conditions. I had to buy a new one due to losing my old one with a broken shackel.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by lovintruckin Best anchor ever purchased
I use the 15 lb anchor on a 18'6" bass boat for lakes or river. once anchor hits bottom the boat does not move no matter how strong the wind or current is.

The anchor works great with my small pond cruiser. I may not neet 12#, but this will allow for wind and if I want to use it in the river it will be comforting to have the holding power.

I fish the St Lawrence River with fast current and rocky shoals and have lost anchors in the past because they wedge up in rocks and you can't break them free. I am planning to fish around rock jettys at Panama City and I'm worried about hanging this river anchor up there as well. Anybody had any experience with these anchors in rocky conditions?Answers

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.Answers
A:Â
It holds very well in soft bottoms & if you have bought a big enough one in harder bottoms.

i find that this anchor holds much much better than the mushroom type in all conditions that i have used it in.

Depending on the conitions & current, 20 to 30 lb.A:Â
18 to 20 lbs.A:Â
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:Â
I have a 16 foot lund deep v - should I use two 20 lb anchors forward and aft??Answers
A:Â
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:Â
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

you need a mushroon anchor for mud.

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:Â
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
A:Â
These anchors work well with a soft bottom and will hold you in a strong current. Get one heavy enough for your boat. My 18 ft. aluminum boat requires a 20 lb. anchor. I also have an electric anchor winch which is a must for me since I anchor in fairly deep water at times.

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
