I realize now that I am supposed to be giving it a bit of slack to make
like
a 45 degree angle with my anchor! That danforth anchor looks pretty cool.
I
have seen some like that for about $30 at bass pro so I might test one of
those out too.



I would be tempted to try a few feet of chain with the achor you have. The
chain will change the abgle of the "bite" on the anchor. Unless you are
looking for an anchor o hold you in place through anything!

I use a anchor simular to a danforth. I am a fair weather boaters so it
works good enough for me, although the boat will drag it some.
