[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 445735, member: 432"] You are correct. The chain will keep the anchor more perpendicular to the bed which gives it more grip as it tries to pull across the bottom of the lake/river/ocean. A rope only will tend to pull the anchor up depending on how much anchor line you have out. If you are in calm waters with no wind a simple rope will work fine. In rougher conditions a length of chain connected to the anchor will work much better. [/QUOTE]
