Thanks to everyone for your replies and I ended up going with the digger anchor which seems to work well and while it's a tight fit, will make it into the bow anchor locker with 100' of rode. Thanks again for the advice!
Good deal. I only use 25 ft of rode.lol

That only works for you shallow water guys. 25' would only reach 30% of the way to btm on my lake. The more role the merrier is my motto.

Driller I see that you use 6' of chain and B does not. When I got my digger I noticed the instructions said no chain needed, but I kept having trouble with it setting last weekend.
I'm headed over tomorrow afternoon to prep for a few days on Table Rock, and I think I'm going to add about 5' of 3/8ths and see if it works any better.

Not sure why your having trouble. Mine digs well with no chain. Get it ? Digs. Digger.
But I would think chain would differently made it dig better.

It’s because most of the time I don’t have enough role to meet the 3:1 (or even 2:1) ratio. The chain helps.
