This was made by one of the Pastors at my church who has a little shop behind his house. He did some research on the Navys anchors and patterned it after his findings. I will let you know how it works after Calaveras tomorrow.

I bet that thing will hold a "Battleship" ! Nice one!

Jim, how much does it weigh? I think I may make a couple in the future.

I have one just like it almost it has a couple improvements it was made by brent here on the forum

John, I went out and weighted it, 23 lbs and with chain 25 lbs. I think it will hold, don't you. Already told him I need one for the back and he said he got enough material to make another one, figured I would want two. What a friend, took him fishing and he's the one that caught the 10.7 lb blue out at
Cally a while back.

Jim, you have a photographic memory of how mine looks Its nearly indentical... Should hold your boat without a problem!

Thanks Oscar, going to try it tomorrow at Cally.

That will hold. I'm going to try and keep mine under 20lbs.

Only problem John is that if the are light weight, it takes them a longer time (more travel) to lock into the bottom. Mine are about the same weight as Jim's and grab awesome.

Wow! that looks good!

It's the design not the weight that make them hold. I saw one today that was'nt but 17lbs that was holding a 24' skeeter CC in some pretty good winds today.

I got 2 and they do me just fine! They dont look as nice as yours though.

Hey deerstrangler that very well may be the case cuz its a challenge to dislodge them!

That's what we use here in Arkansas / a box anchor . Mine is 18 lbs and will hold when ya should have stayed home All of us have 20/72's up this way..they hold just fine...try using 2......... you can also buy them from cabelas...it will set ya back a couple hundred
