probably right because my boat was a commercial fishing boat at first before being converted . It had a huge reel mounted in the aft deck with the fish hold below .The shrimpers down the bayou make up their own, in a variety of sizes similar to that. Usually not as nicely welded though.
You could call it a "Danforth Style". You couldn't really have a home made Danforth.
AusCan ... "This stockless style anchor is by far the most popular anchor in this area." ..... What stockless anchor is that?
A while back I did a quick survey of the anchors, just walking around our marina, and the top four in order were:
Klip - Stockless - or whatever it is I have
Rocna
Admiralty/Kedge
Danforth
What do you think of this type of anchor. You can't buy them in Canada yet.

AusCan,
A Klip is like a Danforth isn't it? Is that the Danforth like anchor that Manson makes? They show a Danforth like anchor w some text about fishermen.
I am not sure that dual anchor system would really add much in normal situations. I gather from the video that one would drop the first anchor some distance, engage a chain lock on the second and then continue to drop it. Which anchor sets first and how does that affect the second anchor setting? It seems that if there is any slack in the chain between the two anchors, then the load is still being carried by only one anchor. I would like to see a video of the anchors hitting bottom and being set. It also increases the chances of a fouled anchor.
