OK I am actually looking forward to spring. I will be setting up my ground tackle, which at this point is just plain miserable. The boat came with a 40lb Danforth and 120' of 3/8 (I think) chain.
To prepare for my adventure north, I will be switching to a 77lb plow and 500' of chain.
My question is about chain. I have read a few places where there is a rating(?) on chain, HT and ??? I saw WM had BBBB ?
1. What are the ratings and their meaning?
2. Should I use galvanized chain. yes I will be in salt water
3. Where is a good place to but bulk chain?
