Box anchor looks interesting...
I use a "River Anchor". Much like a mushroom but has gaps in the outer edge of the mushroom. We boat on the Tennessee River and it has mostly sandy/muddy bottoms. I have never had a problem with this and some nylon rope.
Well except for the one time I went to pull the anchor and the rope came off the anchor!!! I had it attached with a spring type hook and some how the hook came open and I could not find the anchor that day. Ordered a new one that came in before the next weekend. A week or so later the river was down enough I found the original. Now I have a spare!
are you still using the spring hook? or did you switch to an anchors knot
