Bruce anchors have a reputation for setting very quickly. I had a Delta for a while on my old boat but sold it after an experience where it failed to reset after pulling out. Spade and Rocna have both become very popular in recent years because they set well and hold well, even with wind and current changes. Two years ago we road out hurricane Matthew using a combination of a 90 pound Rocna on all chain, and a 65 pound Bruce on 7/8ths nylon. Both held very well in winds over 70 knots. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com Have you checked out Mantus anchors? |

Almost invited Herring out, but came to my senses." If you took The John out, he'd want to bring along his bowl of turds. Then your boat head would be clogged until you found someone immune to the stench who could clear the blockage. Hardly worth the trouble. What an ass! |

Kinda tough to fish the creeks around Hilton Head Island in a barge like that. Hell, aren't they made in China? |

To my eye they look a lot like a Rocna with a somewhat sleeker roll bar. How about you? There is another relatively new anchor called a Manson Supreme that also looks like a Rocna knockoff. Spade anchors really started the whole thing over 15 years ago followed by Rocna. They are both fairly similar except that Spade uses a lead ballast pocket to ensure that the anchor lands on its feet, and Rocna uses a roll bar to flip it over if the anchor lands upside down. They are both very good based on my experience, and we anchor out a lot in many different circumstances. |
