Post Anchor
This is the anchor that I use now. It works alright but doesn't really have a good bite. I am looking for a new one that will dig, maybe fold up for storage and not be as heavy (mine is 15 pounds). Any suggestions for anchoring these flatboats?

No one else anchors their boat? LOL

I was looking at a fold up grapple hook anchor at Cabelas. I think Kayakers use them because it had a whole kite with the rope and a float. Anyone ever use one of these?

I used the bell (mushroom) anchor w/ my old gator trax for a good while-


but 9X out of 10 I just beach my boat and be done with it or tie it off to a tree/dock
You need a length of chain on those danforth style....it will never bite without it-I'd put at least 4-5 foot on it then your rope-

I couldn't help it JP,had to put it up.Last year we were fishing lake Amadee one morning wearing out the specks and we had boats all over us and my buddy threw that one out there as he was throwing popping corks at boats.
