Chene Anchors

I have had a friend from the board ask me how I like my new Chene Anchor. I have not had the chance to use it yet so I was wondering if some of you guys have used one and how you like it? Any information you can provide would be much appreciated. Thanks, Bill

I bought the one for the next size bigger boat and i couldn’t get it to stick in gravel or smooth hard bottom…and I also bent the tips on mine too…I wouldn’t waste your money….

but thats just my opinion….

I have been looking for a better anchor for my Crestliner 1750 Sportfish. My 20lb Navy anchor just doesn’t cut it well enough in the wind and current. I would like to get one that won’t cause a Hernia!! I’ve considered a Chene in the largest size, but now I don’t know. Has anyone tried the Digger Anchor and if so, how do you like it? Looks like it will require plenty anchor rope, probably 150′ to cover most situations.

Types Of Anchors

I bought the chene anchor this winter…I don’t have a chain on it….but you need to have current/wind to have them work. Since I do most of my fishing on LAKE St Croix, it will hold….then if the boat swings a little…it doesn’t. I would think with the current of the Miss, it would hold good..but on Pepin….don’t waste your money.
