Get the right size the first time and you will be happy.

I like the "Chene" models, they are good performers but make sure you use a chain even if they say it is not needed. You can also try the generic fluke anchors, they will certainly do the job for a second anchor.

Someone here recommended the "Digger" anchor to me and all the reviews are very good. But again you need to get the right size, from what I have read.

Good luck!

"Digger" anchors kick butt!! No chain required or recommended and they hook and hold very well in any bottom. I love mine!
