I don't anchor often in the ocean but will some times drop anchor In the bay. I have a 5lb 4 prong folding anchor rigged with 10 feet of chain and plenty of line. Its over kill but it never slips or drags. Also its rigged break away. The chain shackle is attached to the bottom of the anchor and then attached to the top of the anchor with a zip tie. If the anchor gets hung up a hard pull will break thhe zip tie and allow the anchor to turn over and come free. Your must room anchor mite work if you add some chain or let out more line. The chain is about as vital to anchoring as the anchor is. I store the set up in a small bucket, line on the bottom then chain then anchor. Mike
