I use two 14 pound fluke style and each has about 5' of chain (no issues so far). The use of chains is a must and makes a world of difference. I also get out and check that both anchors are actually set good; I see many people do not do this. Part of the problem is a lot of dealers (mine included) only give you the rode and anchor with the purchase of a new boat and say that's all you need. You would think of all people they would know better. I learned about the use chains from reading forums like this one.
