No Anchor is perfect in all ways. lead is very heavy for the amount of friction that it gives ( not much surface area) where chain puts alot of surface on the bottom so you can use less weight. if used properly and enough weight I like chain. In high water and heavy flows you have to put on the lead. I do not drag my chain. duck I have been fishing the Klick a few days a week maybe I have seen you. I talked and fished with some fellas last Saturday on my float from town to the bridge.
I was in a red willie with a berkley sticker on the bow
