[QUOTE="rgpemt, post: 198673, member: 5684"] For sandy/muddy bottoms, you would want a mud claw anchor. It lays flat on the bottom and as you are pulled by wind/currrent it digs in. Pulling it up is easy as long as it is not snagged, just power back over the top of it and yank her up. As far as weight, I'd use an 8-10 pounder. The other thing to consider is the line length. If your anchor line is too short, you will not get good purchase, you want the line to lay out and allow the anchor to dig into the bottom as designed. I think it is 4 feet of line for each foot of water... Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
