We set our Bruce once and came to an abrupt stop. I thought it was going to be stuck for sure, so got out the Earl Hinz book on anchoring and mooring.

One method he suggested was reducing scope (can't remember how much) then slowly circling the anchor while keeping the rode under tension.

Turns out the anchor came up easily so didn't need to use the technique, but may come in handy one day.
