Default Question

Do you guys think there is a market for an anchor in the $25 to $35 price range that actually works?

I find the attwood solid shank anchors works for me. They hold tight make sure u put an chain on it. For extra weight. Help it Lay down.
It's in your price range. Academy sports starts at $29

A chain would help out alot It helps that arm on the anchor to fall flat. Once it's lay down. The suck anchors down tight!! 2ft of chain should be fine.

Cheaper idea


5 gallon bucket

1 bag of easy Crete

Mix it in the bucket and tie a rope.

When you get into working birds throw it as far as you can as close to the birds as possible.

Also fish with ugly sticks and zebcos upside down.

And keep those black drum
