Still somewhat pricey (about $75) but I really wanted something that could be easily stowed away not consuming to much space and could work in a variety of conditions. The only problem I had with it not holding was fishing the Cameron Jetties in 3' to 3.5' swells with a fairly strong south/southwest wind. There were a lot of boats and probably didn't allow enough rope to properly hold due to a limited area to set-up. To dang rough to be fishing there in that boat anyway. If it does hang up you just keep tension on your anchor line and drive forward allowing the anchor to free itself. Never got it hung-up to where I couldn't release it.

i have this same anchor and the perk to it was that it fit in my nautic stars factory anchor storage, holds good to
