        would the box anchor work better for rocky lakes?

          I would think it should.
          a Quote from Cabella's Box anchor ad.
          " Just throw it out and it quickly sets in any bottom material. Its fixed scoop design and narrow side panels set it into sand, grass, mud and even rock"

          My first boat came with a marine readyness package i.e life preservers, anchor, retrieving / docking pole. a paddle, first aid kit and flares.

          The anchor was a Fluke style Aluminum Anchor with 10 ft chain and 100 feet of rope. We have used it in mud, sand, seaweed and rocks of Bullshoals and Table Rock. We also have a box anchor we picked up at a flea market and I tend to prefer the fluke as long as I have enough rope to establish a long rode from boat to anchor. I prefer it soley on cost if there is a chance of loosing the anchor. We have come close to loosing both of our anchors to getting entangled in the sunken trees common to the reservoir lakes of Northern Arkansas to South West Missouri. The Aluminum flukes style anchor is not as expensive as a good folding box anchor but it also takes more room to store on board. If where I am anchored might loose the anchor I will use the fluke style since they cost less other wise I prefer the box for holding power.

          On rocky bottoms the fluke style anchors don't grab well in rock. We have better luck with the box in that type of condition.

              I have a "small" box anchor and am looking to upgrade to the large box anchor now. The RZ2 is much bigger and heavier than my last boat. Anyone have a "large' box anchor they wanna sell??

                  I really like that slide anchor. I just got a keel guard too so no more backing it in at Havasu.

                    I need a 2nd anchor. How large/heavy an anchor do I need for my 2100v?

                      I would go with the small the large would be over kill.

                          Awesome anchor, check your local dealer. I could never find a website that sold it for cheap. But its worth every penny.

                              Baby Box anchor is for like, bass boats. Small box anchor is rated for 18-30 feet in length. Pretty much covers all of us. Anything bigger is overkill. I have a small and can't wait to try it out. Paid $167 for it.

                                well - i got the small box this season and I have tested it out twice now...

                                If I had it to do over - I would get the large. It is awesome, but in 20 mph wind - I still drift.

                                I'm not buying that the large is overkill - for the price difference, go large.
