sdowney 717,
A bit of chain close to the anchor will do quite well at holding the anchor shank down. W/O coral chain is mostly to aid setting of the anchor.
I’ve always been for mostly line rodes but I’ve never anchored w no chain at all.
As you go up in boat size at some point all chain has very high utility. A winch w a wildcat for one size chain. Up - down. It’s simple.
But for really good performance nylon line is king.
