getting anchor set up for use.

a lot of really good info, my deck pipe is the smaller version and is quite small. once we get and install the windlass it won’t be an issue but for now i have new rode in a milk crate and will use that in the coming months.
more and more of my friends that anchor halibut fish swear by the Bruce type anchor especially for holding power in strong current where according to them the Danforth will fail to hold. still planning on waiting and trying Danforth..
 
You might consider walking the docks in local marinas and seeing what boats have what anchors. Kind of an unofficial way to see what most folks around here think works. My own recollection is Bruce/Plow about even, some CQR on older big boats and a few Danforths. Mansons are becoming more common on the docks.
