30 pounds of lead will hold your boat better than 50 pounds of steel or iron, that's for sure.

An anchor debacle once caused me to have a boulder and cam straps masquerading as an anchor for a day...fugger easily weighed 50 pounds and didn't work worth a Crap. Bailed out by Robbo with a backup anchor the next day, which is another funny story...but was able to retrieve my anchor early the next day and all was right with the world again.

Lead is sticky...steel and stone is not.

Fish on...
