Default Re: Wreck Anchors <vs> Danforth Anchors

Another thing is depth. In the shallows, wreck anchors will work effectively especially on real sticky stuff like the sh reef for example. But other lower lying spots, you will have some trouble getting it to stick where you want it to. Out in deeper water, it will be much harder to get vertical on the piece due to the huge belly in the anchor rope and you will swing off the piece. You may think you're vertical when you pull up on it but you're really not, and then you may end up popping it out. I'm talking spots over 100 feet. I would double anchor on these types of spots.
