RE: Choosing an anchor (longish)

I've tried most of them and dragged them from the Danforth, Bruce and CQR with the Bruce being my least favorite. Meet someone on the dock about 10 years ago with a funny looking anchor that I've never seen before. It was a Super Max. Said he had good luck with it so I ordered one out. Yes, it was expensive. However, now after 10 years of use, finally, an anchor that sets every time in ALL bottom condition up here in the PNW from thick mud, grass, rocky bottom, etc. Now I no longer get up every few hours to check the anchor as it is the only anchor I've never dragged. Now my only worries when the wind pipes up is some other boat dragging his anchor over mine. But thats happened only once.
