I promise I'm not trying to pick on you Letty ... BUT this silent anchor to drag around while drifting is a BIG NO_NO in my book.

This time of year ... dragging 20 to 40 pounds of lead along the bottom rips up the spawning beds of the kings ...

As we get into the latter winter and spring, you're doing the same to the steelie beds ...

Nothing pisses me off more on the river than watching someone dragging anchor through spawning grounds ... and I'm sure a few people can attest to this fact from the earful they received from me.

Besides that, it's dangerous ... know of two boats that have sank on Forks-area rivers in the past two years when the anchor became stuck and sucked the back end of the boat under.
