I have been having one for 6 years and have not had a problem with a 4' chain and 150' rope. I will say that a mud anchor holds better offshore and I have to let out alot of rope with my grappling out there. Any kind of shallow water and it works great. It's also easy to get out if it gets caught on bottom. Just tie rope to cleat and the caught arms will straighten out freeing the anchor.

I saw a guide at the Johnson Bayou rigs a few weeks back throw his anchor at least 5 times before he gave up. No chain and he was trying to set it as soon as it hit the bottom. Finally, he tied up to a fellow guide boat.
