[QUOTE="airshot, post: 501569, member: 1183"] All depends on what type of bottom your anchoring on. What depth, current, etc. There is no such thing as one type for everything. Being a small boat, you might consider a " chene" anchor, they have good holding in sand, mud, rocky bottoms, and are light weight. They also have a retrieve system. Other wise, you will need something heavy to hold in all conditions. I rarely use an anchor as I have an anchor feature on my bow mount trolling motor. But I do carry one to meet safety requirements. Mine was found at a garage sale, weighs about 15 lbs, sort of a navy style but more crudly made, I made some modifications to it to help it bite into soft bottoms, but the weight does the job in most easy anchoring situations, but again rarely used !
