My point here is after talking with a few salts they also said to shackle up direct to the bottom with no chain only chafing gear like a piece of hose, because if your chain gets stuck your are lost.

Very rare that my chain gets hung up and in my opinion it's well worth loosing an anchor every couple of years for the faster sink rate. I usually put 3-4 zip ties on it and have never had an issue breaking the zip ties with 17,000 pounds of boat and 740 horses pulling on it.
