The new third-generation (Rocna and lookalikes, Spade, et. al.) anchors
generally stay put. Indeed, the Rocna folks caution against the typical in

We've had both a Rocna and a Spade, and they are both terrific
anchors. With the Spade we did go a size or two larger than necessary
(125 pounds) and at times our windlass could barely get it up from
deep water. Coming up from 50+ feet with the combined weight of
anchor, chain and attached mud was a real struggle. We ended up
downsizing to an 88 lb Rocna and it seems like a better compromise.
