[cool][size 2]There's a lot more need for anchors in the currents and tides of California. I fish mostly in coves and quiet lakes. If the wind gets bad enough to need an anchor, I'm outta there anyway.[/size]
[size 2]We've had a couple of threads on anchors in the past, and we seem to agree. They are something you hope you don't have to use, but they can save a lot of leg power if you want to stay put in the current...or light wind.[/size]
[size 2]Your design sounds simple and cheap enough. My only question would be how effective it might be in holding on a smooth bottom in stiff current. I know I have had problems with a 5 pound mushroom not holding before. Can't remember whether it was a morel or a shitake. Maybe not enough butter sauce.[/size]
