And I think you guys are all right about scope, thinking its so shallow at the sandbar and with minimal traffic I was thinking I could get away with keeping the line short, but it was probably a bit too short.

That said, when I was using the coated anchor it was worthless,,, Like all my anchors it was a freebee that came with a boat and I thought it would help the new boat from getting banged up while stored. Probably not the best reason to choose an anchor,,,

Many Thanks for all the tips!!!

Hi George;

The biggest advantage I have found with the digger besides it's holding power is the "no chain" recommended part of it. Nothing worse than dragging up 4' or more of chain over your freshly polished boat! I have a digger 1 and it works great! The digger 2 says it only needs a 2-1 slope with no chain! I find that an incredible advantage especially at shallow sand bars.
