Sir Reel that is why I think a Grapnel would be a good carry, for rocks. Agree, the Danforth from what I can surmise is easiest, cheapest and will do 75% of the time. Last fall I tried anchoring off of Stanley park for some Coho. All I had was about a 15lb river anchor. I had a hell of a time getting it out of the rocks. There was almost no current and I think it was less than 20'. That is where the grapnel would probably shine.
Thanks Agentaqua, I have been doing some research for sure. There are just so many available. When you start digging in (intended) it is mind boggling how many choices there are. Also don't want to break the bank.
Much appreciated so far fellas.
