Want to buy a Bruce anchor?

Better do so quickly.

Bruce transferred the manufacturing rights to an Italian subsidiary a
few years ago, and that subsidiary stopped making anchors earlier this
spring.

No doubt there will be some knock-offs and good used anchors around,
but the supply of new Bruce is terminated (for at least a while).



For the conditions in my area I have always been partial to Fortress anchors
as they have always performed flawlessly for me even in the most demanding
conditions.

Realizing that I am in the process of purchasing a Fortess FX-7 for our
current boat. The generic type anchor the dealer threw into the deal when
we purchased the boat last August does not cut it, as evidenced when we
tried to anchor near the beach last Monday.

Are Bruce/plow type anchors popular in your area Chuck? How reliable are
the knock-offs?
